Ohaneze Ndigbo lashes at IPOB for disrespecting Igbo elders. – Ohaneze Ndigbo youths asks IPOB to apologise to Igbo leaders – The youth group accused the Biafra group of disrespecting elders by tagging their meeting a jamboree – They insist the unity of Nigeria is important The youth wing of the Ohaneze ndigbo has lashed out at the Indigenous Peoples Of Biafra (IPOB) for criticising the recently held Igbo summit. Igbo leaders had held a summit in Owerri in Imo state to look into problems affecting the region and had identified that Igbos were developing other regions at the expense of Igboland.

We are known for our resilience and industry. Thirty per cent of investments in Lagos and Abuja is owned by Ndigbo but now we are calling on our people to think home and build another Abuja in Igbo land. “We should invest at home to create jobs for our people. So, today is a special day because we have decided as a people to close ranks and proffer solutions to our problems.” The leaders also called for the unity of the country as a way of achieving their aims for Igboland. However, statements credited to IPOB said the claimed the choice of Owerri as the venue of the meeting made it void as Enugu remained the capital of Igboland. Vanguard reports that in a statement issued by Mazi Alex Okemini said IPOB missed the point by describing a gathering of eminent Igbo leaders as a jamboree and urged the group to tender an unreserved apology to the leaders.

There is no rule which says that every Igbo event must hold in Enugu. We wish to remind IPOB that Ndigbo are the landlords of Nigeria and cannot leave it for anybody; but will only continue to seek for justice, equity and fair play for all Nigerians.” |
