I Won’t Withdraw ‘Ode’ Tweet, Dabiri-Erewa Dares Ezekwesili

Dr. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, has told Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, a former Minister of Education, that she will not apologize for calling a tweep “Ode,” which means fool.

In response to her remark on the attack on Nigerian students in India, a Twitter user referred to the former ranking House of Representatives member as “Mum,” which means “dull.”

“She should go to Indonesia and see how Nigerians are treated,” Aggressively Obedient – Avoid Me tweeted.

“Mumu woman supporting a failed government. “She’s equally part of the failure. “Eye service!” In reaction, Dabiri-Erewa said: “Ode! “You go to Indonesia, carry drugs, do cultism and come begging to be rescued from death sentence. “Thank God for @ndlea_nigeria now saving people like you from death row.”

Following the altercations, Ezekwesili told Dabiri-Erewa:

Following the altercations, Ezekwesili told Dabiri-Erewa: What is this? Kai. This is messy. Please clean it up. Quickly. Please. But Dabiri-Erewa told Ezekwesili she will not apologize.

But Dabiri-Erewa told Ezekwesili she would not.

Dabiri-Erewa, in her response to Ezekwesili said, “I’m done on this. But out of respect for you, I will ask, ‘Clean what up?’

“It’s okay for some untrained, uncouth guy to refer to me as ‘mumu’, and I can’t call him ‘ode’. I’m not a public official that cows to bullying, please,” Dabiri added.
