As tension heightens in the country ahead of next weekend’s presidential election, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has warned that it would revenge any attack on Ndigbo in the North.

President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Gary Igariwe, issued the warning at a press conference in Enugu on Friday.

Igariwe said he has given a directive to Igbo in the North to prepare to defend themselves in event of any attack on them during the election.

He said Ndigbo would no longer fold their arms and allow themselves to be attacked on the slightest provocation.
“Either way the election goes, whether Jonathan or Buhari wins, there will be trouble in Nigeria. And you know that the people who always bear the brunt are the Igbo.

“But I have told Igbo in the North to stay where they are and prepare to defend themselves. It is no longer if somebody slaps you in one cheek you turn the other cheek. I told them that if anybody attacks them, they should also engage in reprisal attack,” Igariwe said.

He said Ohanaeze endorsed Jonathan earlier in the week as part of efforts to build bridges between the South-East and South South, which they started in 2011 by supporting Jonathan as an incumbent.

“Secondly, he is from the minority. South-East and South are the people who have not produced president for this country. Jonathan is a minority from the South-South and we looked at the fact that they are the people producing the oil, which we use to run this country. They should be allowed two terms.

“Again, we believe two terms is not enough to achieve those things that could bring peace and stability to the country,” Igariwe said.

He also dismissed the insinuations in the media that it was a faction of Ohaneze Ndigbo that endorsed Jonathan, even as he accused Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, of sponsoring crisis in Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
