The Youth wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo has warned the South-East Governors and leaders not to take glory in the non-participation of Igbos in the nationwide End Bad Governance protests.
The body said the Igbos were guided by history and intrigues of conspiracy, not because of instructions from the South-east governors.
This was contained in a statement issued on Saturday by the factional National President General of Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), Igboayaka Igboayaka and made available to DAILY POST.
The statement reads, “It’s unfortunate that the Igbo proverb of “Aluchaa Ogu Nwanyi Enwere Akuko” is trending in the Southeast as regards the non-participation of Ndigbo in the ongoing nationwide EndBadGoverance protests.
“The South-East Governors and Leaders are sycophantically positioning themselves to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as if they were instrumental in quenching the nationwide #EndBadGoverance Protest in THE SouthEast.
“It’s factual that no single political leader in the SouthEast can command a crowd of “legion of Ants” in the SouthEast, they’re simply enemies of the people, that’s why none of them can move freely in the SouthEast without Legion of Armed Security Agents.
“The guilty are always afraid. The enemies of the SouthEast are very afraid and they’re within the SouthEast with unmerited titles, like His Excellency, Distinguish and Honorable.
“The new generation of Igbo extraction are verily aware and extremely convinced that the 75% political and economic marginalization, the economic situation of SouthEast in national politics are caused by SouthEast Governors, National Assembly members, State Assembly members, National Appointees and State appointees.
“It’s historic and on record that Southeast leaders are very far from the people. It’s obvious that the distance between SouthEast leaders and the people is like the distance point from the land to the Pacific pole of inaccessibility known as “point Nemo” or the distance between Neptune and Earth.
“So any SouthEast political leader that claims glory for Ndigbo shunning the Nationwide Protests that’s hitting the North, Southwest and South-South is a chronic liar loved by the devil.
“Let it be on record to His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu that no single political office holder in the Southeast is instrumental to the non-participation of Ndigbo in the ongoing nationwide protest.
“I want to assure and inform President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that the reason Ndigbo didn’t participate in protests is because of a sense of history and the conspiracy against Ndigbo, which we saw ahead of the protest.
“There’s no sincerity of purpose in the protest but a protest emanated from regional hypocrisy. Ndigbo shunned the protest because since 2021 after the Owerri Prison break that was carried out to demonize the Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB and in conspiracy with the former president Muhammadu Buhari’s ruthless bloodthirsty Government that made SouthEast a blood battlefield.
“Ndigbo thought it wise that it is unnecessary to hit the streets and roads because of mere increments in “Beans and Rice. Cassava and Agbado, which will open an opportunity for the criminal elements that were released from the Owerri Prison break in 2021 by President Muhammadu Buhari to cause carnage in SouthEast to join the protest and unleash arson and looting in the disguise of protesting.
“The wisest decision Ndigbo took since after the 1967-1970 genocide is rejecting and not participating in the ongoing Nationwide #EndBadGovernance Protests
“And such a wise decision couldn’t have come from unwise selfish SouthEast Governors and elected political profiteers in SouthEast. Ndigbo were possessed with a sense of history and guided by unravelling the conspiracy against Ndigbo as regards the protest.
“Recently, SouthWest adopted a Regional Anthem, they have a regional security outfit. Unfortunately, the gullible puppet SouthEast Governors lack the courage to adopt the Biafra anthem as a regional anthem or adopt 30th May as Igbo Heros Day. Therefore, these political shenanigans and incompetent fellows lack the tenacity to cause Ndigbo to shun the Nationwide #EndBadGovernance protests.
“Ndigbo avoided the protest because we’re initiating a healing process in Igbo land for the thousands of blood spilt by former president Muhammadu Buhari and his murderous security agents coded “Operation Python Dance” under the supervision of SouthEast Governors and Political Leaders.
“We’re in a healing process in the South East waiting upon the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Grant an unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. The release of Nnamdi Kanu is the priority of the Ohanaeze Youth Council, OYC, Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Movement For the Actualization of the Sovereignty State of Biafra, MASSOB, and other Pro- Biafrans groups and Ndigbo at large.
“There’s one common secret that debarred Ndigbo from not Participating in the ongoing Nationwide Protests, and that secret is beyond the knowledge of SouthEast Governors and Leaders because they’re very far from the people.
