The apex lgbo socio- cultural organisation, Ohaneze Ndigbo, has warned the south East, south south youths to stop the secession agitation, saying that it will never work.

Rather, the body called on the youths to give support to the administration of President Mohammadu Buhari for him to have a look at the dilapidated roads in the zone.

Briefing reporters Friday in Awka, the chairman forum of state presidents of Ohaneze in the seven Igbo speaking states, Elder Chris Eluemunoh, said the group would never support agitation of Biafra as being demanded by the youth.

The seven states of Ohaneze included Anambra, Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu,Imo, Delta and Rivers.

Before now, the youths in the zone had held cities like Aba, Awka, Onitsha, Owerri, Enugu, Abakiliki, Asaba and Portharcourt hostage in the past weeks calling for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, Benjamin Onwuka and others by the federal government.

The youths were doing the demonstrations under the aegis of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) with few other members of the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) involved.

However, the Ohaneze chairman Friday said that what the youths were doing could be described as pure madness, adding that it would have been a different ball game if they were protesting against the bad state of roads instead of agitation for Biafra.

According to Eluemunoh, “Ohaneze as Igbo cultural group cannot support insurgency, we are totally against it and we will never support it.

“Anybody that has any issue with the federal government should go for dialogue with the president and that is why we went for national conference, Nigeria is a one united country and we do not want any other.

“I believe what the youths are doing is to call the attention of the president to see the infrastructural decay in the zone, this region has been abandoned and neglected and not by Buhari, but by previous administrations started by Olusegun Obasanjo which Goodluck Jonathan also tried to bring back.

“Ohaneze is calling on the federal government to declare state of emergency in the zone on roads for purposes of infrastructural development and that is what the youths are saying, we believe and not secession.

“Our president should forget what happened in the last election and Ohaneze is going to give him full support through prayers and other means and in making sure that Nigeria stays as one indivisible entity.

“Therefore, the youths should stop such agitations for Biafra because Biafra died in 1970 and we are saying it again that Ohaneze will never support it,” Eluemunoh warned.

However, the group said if Nnamdi Kanu and others who were spearheading such agitation had committed any offence, they should face the law, but if not, they should be freed.

Furthermore, he debunked the allegation that the youths were being supported by top Igbo politicians, adding that if indeed they were getting any support from anywhere, it should be from outside Nigeria.

He said they believed that such restiveness by the youths could stop if roads like Oba-Okigwe road, Owerri – Portharcourt road which Ohaneze described as the worst in Nigeria were fixed.

“What they call agitation for Biafra is not in the dictionary of Ohaneze Ndigbo and we will never give it a look in, what Ohaneze is saying is that president Buhari’s administration should be supported to move this country forward,” said Eluemunoh.

A RED ALERT SIGNAL TO ALL BIAFRAN COMMANDERS TO ACT AT ONCE.
Great Biafrans, the France attack was to make the world leaders/EU to bring peace in Syrian by force.Biafrans, you can see how serious people do things."ACTION.
Waiting for Nigeria Government to release your Director, won't work because Nigeria is a country founded on lies and they don't respect the rule of law, that's why the big fool buhari disrespected the Court's order to produce NNAMDI kANU at the court.
The world leaders are waiting for our action before they could step in. Even Putin the President of Russia once wrote to us saying (biafrans all over the world shouldn't wait for him before fighting for their freedom, and that was all he could say) if we are smart, he was trying to give us an answer to solve our problems in a very secret way. what Putin was trying to say to biafrans was that biafrans we needed to start fighting for our freedom with action immediately. we must act now before world leaders can come in. Do you remember that the Nigeria Government was afraid before the protest after the protest, they got fed up, and the government even started panicking, you can see that little action did.
The world would have taken us more seriously if we had STRIKE all the oil rigs,companies and pipelines.We shouldn't forget that we are dealing with a military person with 70% percent military blood is still in them.
And if we Biafrans wants to balance the power,we must STRIKE immediately, then World Leaders/UN would then come in at once to declare Biafra. The white man will advise us to go on with the peaceful protest, but you shouldn't forget that our system of government is totally different from them, and even the rest of the world.
It is now proven beyond every reasonable doubt that the zoo called Nigeria don't respect the rule of law,the Nigeria System of Government needs force. biafrans "STRIKE.
Don't wait because they won't release our director until we srike, then the Nigeria Government will then call for negotiations, just like they are now doing for the boko-haram.
The boko-haram are no fools, they equally know that. delay is dangerous, our director keeps saying ( Biafra or death), our Deputy director can't give a direct command to strike on air because of security reasons, I really need all our commanders to take note of that. Its all a mind game the director and his deputy is depending on you all, we are now fearless ,united and formidable before our enemies.
The south-east and south-south,especially the south Easterners should ground a plan for themselves,because we south south pple knows what to do already.
We need all our action men with the provocation to war. It is either Biafra or war and there is nothing to negotiate with the zoo called Nigeria because they have broken all the laws that respects human right.Our Deputy is depending on you all Don't wait for him to give that command on air, so that the world can't hold him accountable for giving such an order.
Biafrans you see what happened in France. Biafrans we must put action to our protest and strike by shutting down everything oil in Nigeria. Stop oil flow in Nigeria and Nigeria will automatically end. This is a direct order pass this command to all hardcore biafran.
