In a press release made available to MEZIE TIMES and signed by Mazi Alex Okemiri the Chairman of all the State Chairmen of the Youth council, the group  noted that Igbo culture requires elders not to keep quiet when things are getting out of hand. They called for immediate intervention of Igbo elders in the Abia matter with  a view to finding a solution to it.

The group also lambasted the Vice President for his stand against the call for the restructuring of Nigeria regretting that when some of our elites get into power they are carried away by officialdom to the detriment of the future of their people.

They insisted that only restructuring  of Nigeria can address her numerous challenges and not just the fight against corruption.

The OYC reiterated its call for the empowenment of Igbo Youths who are the least empowered in the country and which is responsible for the agitation for Biafra.

The group congratulated the Imo state government for hosting the Igbo unity rally which holds at Owerri on Thursday and friday this week.

They called on all the Igbo Governors to be at the occassion while they promised to mobilise entire Igbo YOuths to be there.
