The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has vowed not to recognise the newly elected President of Ohanaeze, Professor George Obiozor as an Igbo leader.
Media and Publicity Secretary of the group, Emma Powerful, who disclosed this in a statement yesterday, explained that the group would not accept Obiozor because he was imposed on the people.
Powerful said: “IPOB closely monitored the jamboree in the name of the election that produced Obiozor as the new Ohanaeze helmsman, critically analysed the antecedents of those behind his emergence, and came to the conclusion that we cannot in all honesty work with him because we are not ideologically compatible.”
Powerful while further attributing the reasons for distancing themselves from the new Igbo leader said they feared he would only be a stooge in the hands of those who sponsored him.
“Obiozor may not be entirely evil but those behind him are unrepentant enemies of Biafra. Naturally, he can only do the bidding of his sponsors, thus sacrificing Igbo Biafra interest at the altar of few self-centred political desperados,” Powerful said.
He alleged that the group had already warned of the emergence of Obiozor with strong support from the North. “We have not forgotten that before the shambolic election of Ohanaeze president, sometime last year, Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Associations of Nigeria (MACBAN) wrote a compelling letter to Aso Rock seeking Gambari’s support to install one of their stooges in Ohanaeze Ndigbo as its leader.
“We raised the alarm then but nobody listened to us; so IPOB cannot work with a man we know will be remote-controlled by a Fulani terrorist group in the shape of Miyetti Allah and by extension the Federal Government of Nigeria,” Powerful stated.
The onus is upon Prof. George Obiozor to rupidiate the allegations that
he is an imposition upon Ndigbo as the President General of their Apex
Organization,the Ohanaeze Ndigbo by his actions and words.
To help unite Ndigbo,he must immediately start headlong with the
following issues, namely;
1.The proscripting of our Millennials of IPOB,by the Igbo Governors and
Ohanaeze Leadership,which did pave the way for the Igbophobe,
President Buhari to designate them as a Terrorist Group.
But our IPOB Youths are merely exercising the right guaranteed them by
the UN Charter on the Right of oppressed Indigenous People across
the globe, to agitate for their selfy-determination.They do go about
their agitations for the restoration of our Sovereign Christian Republic
of Biafra in peaceful manners.
Our Igbo Millennials are marginalizsed by the power – that – be. in the
polity.
They are persona non-gratas in the Nigerian labour market,victims of
cut-of -mark policies by the Federal Government vis-a vis admissions
into Institutions of Higher Learnings in the country and are currently
have been singled out for an utter extermination by Buhari’s Government.
2.Prof. George Obiozor in his current capacity as the President General
of Ohanaeze Nigbo musT compell President Buhari to immediately delist
our Millennials of IPOB in his terrorist list.
The real terrorist in Nigeria,who are known worlwide are the Boko Haram
ISWAP and Fulani Herdsmen
3.He must also call on the Federal Government to revisit and to implement
the famous Pol Pot Yakubu Gowon’s declaration on (Reconstruction, Reconciliation, and Reintegration) to its last letters by helping return all the abandoned Igbo property in Lagos and Port Harcourt to their rightful Igbo
owners.
That will indeed be a uniting act of fairness,justice and equity.
4. The remains of over a quarter of a million innocent Igbos interred in
mass unmarked graves all over the Nort and Lagos during the pogroms of
1966 to 1967 must be exhumed and retrurned to Ala-Igbo for their
proper burials in keeping with our Igbo custom.
5. The barbaric and brutal beheading of our Igbo Daughter, Mother and a
spouse of an Igbo Christian Clergy,Oriaku Bridget Agbahieme ,her
posthumous trial and her blasphemous guilty verdict by a Kano Sharia Court,which also acuitted the Kano Hisbahs (Dandukas), who carried out
that heinous and inhuman act must be appealed by the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Leadership.
6.The 1994 barbaric beheading of an innocent Igbo Merchant and a
devout Catholic, Mazi Gideon Akulaka must be revisited because it was
a crime against humanity.
In crimes against humanity there is no statute of limitations thereof.
The erstwhile Governor of CBN and the recently deposed Emir of Kano,
Sanusi Lamido Sanusi,who led an irrated muslim hordes to drag
Mazi Akulaka from the Police Custody and had him brutally behead.
Mallam Sanusi and his barbaric muslim mob did impale the severed
head of Mazi Gideon Akulaka on a pole and went matching through
the streets of Kano chanting Allahu Akbah!
Sanusi,his cahoots and cohorts must be made to ansawer for their
heinous crime against humanity.
6.Of course, a restructuring of the country must be a sine qua non
for the conitinued cohabitation of Ndigbo with those,who do love to
hate us Ndigbo with passion.
Si vis pacem para bellum!
Nigeria We Hail Thee.Lol!
