Metro We Are Not in Support of Biafra – Ohanaeze Ndigbo

Igbo socio-political group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has distanced itself from the agitation for secession by Nnamdi Kanu and his group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).



Ohanaeze Ndigbo insisted that restructuring of Nigeria was the solution to the political and economic problems, not break up.

Ohanaeze Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Chuks Ibegbu, said this in a chat with newsmen in Abuja on Monday.

“We are not saying Nigeria should be divided, but the issues these young men are talking about should be addressed. Instead, it seems they want people like Nnamdi Kanu to shut up without addressing the issues, judging by the bail conditions they gave him.”

Ibegbu stated that what the body wants is a country that has a level playing field for all sections of the country.

His words: “A Nigeria that gives each part of the country a sense of belonging. For example, in a country of 36 states, the South-East has five states and 95 local governments; while Kano State alone has 44 local governments.

“The other time, we saw the statistics of recruitment in the Department of State Services with Katsina State alone having 51 allocations. Yet, we have the Federal Character Commission.

“We want the FCC to investigate the recent recruitment in the DSS. Abia State got only six allocations; Enugu State, six; Katsina, the home state of President Muhammadu Buhari, got 51 slots.’’

Ibegbu said that there was no level playing ground in Nigeria, stressing that Abia State alone produces more graduates than 10 states in the North combined, “yet you gave them only seven opportunities and gave Katsina 51.

Biafra is not for men that are closer to their respective graves but for generation to come. Nigeria isn't working, hasn't worked before and will never work. There is no need for the united in corruption senate and elites to continue advertizing their ignorance and stupidity with their nonsense and stupid unity, restructure and confab sermons. No government in the history of the World have ever successfully supress the will of the people. Not now that the civilized world has determined that self-determination is an inalienable right. The sovereignty and the Restoration of Biafra’s sovereignty is justified under international law and practice and our rights ultimately are what we are willing to fight and die for. Death to us is nothing, freedom for Biafra is everything. Referendum still remains the best solution to solve once and for all this lingering 50 years old problem, may God dash or even borrow the so called coward elders, directionless leaders, corrupt political leaders and rogue elites brain to evict this looming disaster and do the needful. As long as we Biafran youths are concerned Biafra must be restored.
