Sit-At-Home; “What is Happening in Igboland today is Destruction Not Liberation.” Ohaneze Ndigbo

Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, the main Igbo socio-cultural organization, called on the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra and other secessionist agitators in the South-East area on Monday to halt all forms of “anarchy” in the land and engage in dialogue.

On the occasion of Igbo Day, Prof George Obiozor, President-General of Ohanaeza Ndigbo, called for a restoration to normalcy in Igboland.

According to him, IPOB leaders should be aware of the dangers that violence has presented in Igboland, and the South-East geopolitical zone“must avoid being a race that has voluntarily chosen to perish in violence and insecurity”.

He claims that what is happening in Igboland today – Imo, Anambra, Enugu, Abia, and Ebonyi States — is destruction and devastation rather than liberation.

This was said by Obiozor in a statement titled ‘Stop Anarchy In Igbo Land, Go For Dialogue, released by the group’s National Publicity Secretary, Chief Alex Ogbonnia.

Obiozor said, “Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, traditional rulers and stakeholders call for an end towards anarchy in Igbo land.

“Our youths particularly the leaders of IPOB, should take notice of the danger violence has posed in Igbo land,” he said, adding that Ndigbo “must avoid being a race that has voluntarily chosen to perish in violence and insecurity, and we must stop threatening ourselves and there must be a stop to violence and violence rhetoric.

Something other than the initial objectives of IPOB is taking place and it is dangerous.”

“Today, what we are seeing in Igbo land is not liberation but Ala Igbo destruction and devastation. It is a national tragedy for Igbos. The liberty and freedom of Ndigbo are threatened internally and externally. I call on IPOB leaders to reassert the authority and control of the organization,” the Ohanaeza President-General said.
