Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide Youth Council, OYC, on Monday blasted Governors of the South East region for disowning the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Recall that the five governors and other political leaders had on Saturday, after a meeting in Enugu, said IPOB does not speak for the region.
In a communique read by Governor Dave Umahi, Chairman of the forum, the governors and the leaders said the region wants a united Nigeria.
But the OYC in a statement by Chukwuemeka Chimerue, its Special Assistant on Media and Publicity accused the governors of being blind to the reality of Igbos.
The statement quoted OYC national president, Comrade Igboayaka O. Igboayaka as saying that “It’s obvious that Southeast governors and stakeholders have lost sense of reality on ground as regards the quest for self-determination by many pro-Biafra groups.
“Let the world understand and know the truth that Southeast governors and stakeholders are the remote cause of any perceived violence by self-determination groups in Igbo land, that is why all the self-determination groups are headed by Ndigbo, this implies that Ndigbo are in lack of credible leaders and denied of justice in Nigeria.
“The groups agitating for independence in Igbo land are not just the wind but a ‘tsunami wind’ that will blow and cause Southeast governors and all the stakeholders in Igbo land to summersault beyond recognition.”
