Ohaneze Ndigbo has denied blanket
support for the amnesty programme,
insisting that victims of Boko Haram
attacks must be compensated. Reacting to
the statement credited to it during its
solidarity visit to Kano in the aftermath of
the bus park bombings, that it supported
amnesty for Boko Haram, the Ohaneze
President General, Chief Nnachi Enwo
Igariwey described the statement as
mischievous. Speaking with a group of
clergymen under the aegis of General
Assembly of all Igbo Christian
Organizations and Ministers (GAAICOM)
in Enugu on Saturday, the Ohaneze
leader, told the religious leaders that his
statement was that the Federal
Government should do everything
possible to bring peace to the land. He
said that the news tabloid which
originated the mischievous information
has already retracted it in another
edition..He said that Ohaneze is still
studying the recommendations of people
on the issue of amnesty and will take a
position at the next Ime Obi meeting.
Chief Igariwey informed GAAICOM
officials that he had told the Igbos in Kano
to think home and ensure that as they
invest in the North, they should also
invest down South to avoid a situation
whereby there is nothing to fall back on in
times of emergency. He said that
Ohaneze is working out a defense option
for Igbos in the North which may be
applicable if the security situation
deteriorates. Chief Igariwey reiterated
that any amnesty for Boko Haram without
compensation for the victims will be
unacceptable to Ndigbo and that Ohaneze
is collating a list of all Igbo victims of the
terrorist attacks from all Northern states.
He called upon President Jonathan to do
everything within his power to bring
peace to the land.
Earlier in the week, the leadership of
GAAICOM has registered its displeasure
to the Ohaneze Leadership over the
blanket endorsement given to the
amnesty for Boko Haram without due
consultations with all stakeholders.
GAAICOM chieftain, Bishop Emmanel
Chukwuma had earlier phoned the
Secretary General of Ohaneze, Dr Joe
Nworgu to register displeasure over
Ohaneze’s support for the amnesty.
GAAICOM’s position was that amnesty
cannot be given to people not ready to
repent and amend their ways. The
occasion of the briefing provided
opportunity for the Ohaneze leader to
clear the air. . The GAAICOM leaders who
attended the brief with the Ohaneze
leadership include Apostle Dr PCJ
Macjossy, Rev Obinna Akukwe among
others.
GAAICOM gathered that the Emir of Kano
provided the palace guards which
provided safety for Ohaneze delegation
throughout the visit. The Ohaneze
delegation was led by its President
General, Chief Nnachi Igariwey,
accompanied by the Chairman South East
Council of Traditional Rulers, Eze Cletus
Ilomuanya, Senator Hope Uzodimma and
Chief Emejulu Okpalaukwu while Senator
Hope Uzodimma chartered the private jet
which conveyed the Ohaneze delegation
to Kano. The Emir of Kano told the
delegation that he was also attacked by
Boko Haram, and that Kano indigenes are
not against the Igbos.

I dedicate this rebuttal to all the witches and wizards on nairaland. the spin doctors, the incompetent 'moderators' who post unconfirmed stories to the homepage in order to flex tribal muscles. All enemies of the most advanced tribe in Nigeria - igbo. Eat a d/ck

The same ohaneze that went making a secret meetings with GEJ and collecting billions. Including their trained youths that were deceived to come and collect their own national cake in Abuja.

With all due respect, Ohaneze Nd'Igbo speak from both sides of their mouth, and for that reason alone, they might not come out to be a potent group as other groups from the country. It is unacceptable the unprovoked killings of Nigerians in Nigeria, Igbo or non-Igbo. When the ACF came out with a statement of amnesty, many with political might within her fold who might share contrary opinion kept mute. This is to show that they are united and that would posit them in a strong fort to press home their demands Ohaneze should learn from this and learn to make statements, stick to the statements made and not be seen to be in a state of flux. Datzall.
Jonathan has indeed got his job cut-out for him, I wonder were the money to buy for this transcient peace will come out from now that Ohaneze and CAN are preparing to compile the list of victims of these carnage.
Amnesty.....compensation....compensation....defence budget....
Wow!!! I don't envy him at all, not even if he switch his hat for a face-cap.
