Biafra Protests: Ohanaeze Ndigbo Demands Kanu's Release by Liftkid(m): 4:50am On Nov 30, 2015
[b]Decries exclusion of Igbos from decision-making
Christopher Isiguzo in Enugu
The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, on Sunday asked the federal government to order the immediate release of the detained Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, in order to diffuse the ongoing mass protests by pro-Biafra agitators led by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB).
In a seven-point communique issued at the end of its Imeobi meeting held at the headquarters of the organisation in Enugu and signed by its President-General, Chief Gary Igariwey, and Secretary-General, Dr Joe Nworgu, Ohanaeze Ndigbo said the release of Kanu would go a long way in arresting the current Biafra agitations from deteriorating.
However, the organisation insisted that the exclusion of Ndigbo in the decision-making structure of Nigeria constituted a clear and present danger to the unity and well-being of the country not only now but also in the future and as such should be immediately addressed.
While advising that all issues relating to the incarceration of Kanu be treated more as a political than a security matter having become the focal point of the public protests, Ohanaeze also demanded for the immediate creation of a national platform with major objective of addressing the immediate causes that have triggered the present public protests.
It said when set up, the platform would also be saddled with the responsibility of revisiting and addressing latent and long-standing issues that have continued to threaten the evolution of Nigeria into a modern and united nation where all constituent parts have equal sense of belonging.
Though notable political leaders, including the governors of the zone, National and State Assembly members, ministers and other renowned persons in the zone did not attend the meeting, the Imeobi gathering still witnessed the presence of Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, former Anmabra state governor, Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Bishop Obi Onubogu and Eze Cletus Illomuanya as well as representatives of IPOB and MASSOB[/b]

LOL Ohaneze, the most stupid organization south of the Sahara. They are confused, corrupt, childish, and infact, should be banned. You can't be disassociating from Biafra, and then come to make fame off of Biafra. Imagine the moment Biafra is actualized, these guys, along with Igbo governors like Theo Orji and Udenwa will be sent to Guilletine
