The Ohanaeze Ndigbo, an apex socio-cultural organisation of the Igbo, on Thursday, disowned the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu and his movement, IPOB.

The President-General of Ohanaeze, Chief John Nnia Nwodo said this while addressing members of the Anambra State house of Assembly at the Legislative Complex, Awka, Anambra State.

Nwodo who was particularly embittered by the call by IPOB for a boycott of Anambra Election in November, said Kanu had breached the undertaking he took before him (Nwodo) when he was released from detention.
He said, “I’m just being paternal. The way I commended them as my children; is the way I have the right to chastised them when they go wrong. We don’t need this heat up”.

Nwodo’s addressed read in part “News that reached us in the past few days that Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB has declared that there will be no election in Anambra in November is shocking and disturbing. I hereby countermand that declaration as President General of Ohaneze.

“Whereas Ohanaeze understands the marginalization and unfair treatment of Igbos which have given rise to self-determination movements in Igboland, leaders of these movements must not arrogate to themselves the supreme leadership of Igboland.

“Statements of the kind credited to Nnamdi Kanu are provocative, misleading and unproductive. Why should Anambra people be denied the opportunity to choose their own leader? Why should any of us who are not from Anambra, no matter how highly placed, descend to the arena and dictate for Anambra people when to vote, whether to vote or who to vote for?

“Anambra, nay Igbos, are still part and parcel of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Yes, we are not happy with our treatment in Nigeria. Yes, some of us want Biafra. Yes, some of us prefer a restructured Federal Republic of Nigeria. But the fact remains that we are still part and parcel of the present Federal Republic of Nigeria, bound by its laws, no matter how repressive or unjust.

“Our approach to reforms of our laws even if it leads to self-determination or restructuring must be lawful. We must convince other Nigerians of our point of view, we must strive to make others share our convictions.
“Our language must be civil, respectful and lead to consensus building. We must resist any attempt to turn division amongst us, as to which way we must go, become a source of altercations between us.

“As we speak very many of our people living in Northern Nigeria are in complete awe and consternation regarding how safe they will be after October 1st. Other Northerners living amongst us are also worried.”

Afam4eva:
The most intelligent president of Ohanaeze ndigbo ever. This Nsukka man is doing a great job at the helm. I wonder where his brothers Okwy and Joe Nwodo are.

Kanu is riding on the naivety of my people to a phantom fame that will soon fizzle off. Yes, there eye go soon open. I only pity those that keep knocking their head on the floor for him, because by the time they realize it...
I dare to say that Kanu is currently doing a bad job, irrespective of the crowd he commands. These are fanatical crowd that lack the capacity to ask questions. These are people that erroneously believe that Kanu possess a divine mandate to liberate Biafra. What a joke. Abrogating the appearance of rainbow, a mere natural phenomenon, as a sign of God's seal on his leadership is the most laughable part of the drama.
Ndi'abnyi, unu muranya. Jiri otutu chowa ewu oji, mbe chi eji’beiyi.
Any movement that hinges her ideology and inspiration from religion cenotaph is bound to produce fanaticism, intolerance and ultimate dictatorship. I hope Kanu Biafra will not end up an autocratic state. If at all it becomes a reality.

Leadership is beyond media stunts and oratory. Leadership is strategy, tact, diplomacy and above all long suffering with respect to popular views and opinion. In all ramification, IPOB is a joke. IPOB don't represent Igbos, and sensible Igbos should rise to the occasion before it gets out of hand.
Yes, I’m an advocate of a separate country for Ndi’gbo, but I abhor the pact and propagandist approach of IPOB.

EzeUche:
Ohanaeze has lost relevance in Igboland.

Not one of those old men can get a crowd like Nnamdi Kanu has gotten repeatedly.

Shut up not every Igbo man support this nonsense from NK. I am from Anambra and I want election in Anambra so that Obiano will continue with his good job. NK should face Abia State where governance is very poor or even Imo state to tackle Okorocha.

sunnyb0b0:


Obiano is finishing next year. He's done well, he needs to go and rest. Okwute ka anyi ga eso.
