Ohanaeze questions buharis statement on Anambra massacre by stancydg: 6:25pm On Aug 07, 2017

Below is an excerpt of statement issued by the ohaneze Ndigbo, Ondo state chapter in an address to press men in Akure, Ondo state today:

Gentlemen of the Press,

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo is deeply concerned about the recent massacre of innocent lives, which occurred at Ozubulu Ekwusigo local government area of Anambra state and as such, we want to make our position known.

1. Ohanaeze Ndigbo condemns in strong terms, the killing of Igbos who gathered on Sunday 6th August 2017 to worship God in a church at Ozubulu by yet to be identified gunmen. This is dastardly, inhumane and a crime that can be likened to an act of terrorism.

2. Therefore, we are calling on the Presidency, the Inspector general of Police and Anambra state Governor to apprehend, investigate and prosecute the perpetrators and everyone found involved in one way or the other, in order to avert uninformed reprisal attacks.

3. We also want to express our disappointment at the rather late condemnation that came from the Presidency, which goes to show the low level of concern of the government for the ordinary citizens. Furthermore, we are not sure of the authenticity of the statement that eventually came, since it is common knowledge that our President is on medical leave, which leaves the bulk on the table of the Acting President. This position is further confirmed by the comment made by the Special Adviser to the President on media and publicity Femi Adesina, on a Channel’s Television programme last night, that a statement is on the way from the office of the Acting President. How come the statement that was released hours later came from the President himself?

Based on the foregoing, we demand to know what happened to the statement from the Acting President and we believe it is now apt to ask same question that was asked by the past Secretary to the government of the federation, Babachir Lawal “Who is the Presidency?”, because we believe that the only Presidency that should exist as of today, is that which is headed by the Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo and his aides, pending when the substantive President Buhari resumes office.
This is our position.

Thank you.

Signed
Prince Erondu Uche
The Secretary General Ohanaeze Ndigbo Ondo state chapter.
