By Emeka Mamah Enugu—THE Ohanaeze Ndigbo has resolved to visit President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa in Abuja with a charter of demands.The resolution was adopted after a meeting of some members at the private residence of one of their leaders in Enugu, yesterday.

Among the issues they resolved to present to Buhari for urgent attention included the reconstruction of the Enugu- Umuahia- Port Harcourt Road, the Enugu- Onitsha express road, appointment of more Special and Senior Special Assistants or Assistants as Igbo are not represented in his government, as well as the completion of the Second Niger Bridge to end the ongoing agitation for Biafra Republic. Apart from these, they also resolved to ask the President to set up the Eastern Nigeria Development Commission, ENDC, to handle the issue of unemployment of Igbo youths which they said was responsible for the continued agitation for the Biafran Republic by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, as reportedly requested by Governor Rochas Okorocha during the reconciliation meeting between the two former factions of Ohanaeze led by Chief Enwo Igariwey and Ralph Obioha respectively.

Okorocha was alleged to have pledged to take “Ohanaeze to the river,” during the reconciliatory meeting of the two factions in Owerri, the Imo State capital about two weeks ago. Sources close to the meeting told Vanguard in Enugu that other matters which came up included the search for a new chairman of the group following the end of the tenure of present executive led by Igariwey.

Meanwhile, IPOB members have reacted to the outcome of the Ohanaeze meeting, saying that “some Igbo politicians who are using IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu (its detained leader) or Biafra to get cheap popularity will fail and advised them to stop doing so with immediate effect.” In three separate statements, IPOB listed Igbo leaders like Chief T. A Orji, Rochas Okorocha, Emeka Offor, Eze Cletus Ilomuanya, Ike Ekweremadu, Chukwuma Soludo, Ralph Uwazuruike, Okezie Ikpazu, Onwuka Ukwa as well as Ohanaeze Ndigbo” as among individuals and groups working against its interest. According to IPOB, “the Ohanaeze Ndigbo was looking for access to Buhari for the selfish interest of its members adding that they were using the blood of dead Biafrans to enrich its members.” Those who signed the statements were Emma Mmezu and Clifford Iroanya.

Also, in the second statement entitled, “THE STRANGE DECISION TO CONTINUE PLAYING WITH FIRE,” they said, “The well- rehearsed attempt by Joe Nwaogu, Ohanaeze scribe to deny their attempt to stifle the demand for freedom by all peace loving people, while using the IPOB agitation as an “Open Sesame” to have access to Aso Villa is actually childish. Nwaogu lied when he claimed the U.S. Consular General also visited other zones. Truth is the IPOB agitations informed the U.S. delegation’s visit to the South East. They did not visit nor have intention to visit other zones.

Now that the South Eastern politicians that matter in the polity has eaten the humble pie by coming out straight with the request for an inclusion, the deluded IPOBians are still playing the hard ball as if they have a better option, after all we all know that the biafran agitation is a political ploy for bargain.

Ohanaeze is a disgrace,
No matter as hunger dey hold me, i no fit visit the killer of my brother house, go beg am chop,
No matter which side you are on the Biafra issue, if you are sane, i don't think that you will support the extra judicial killing of unarmed Ipob protesters,
Innocent igbos were killed, and instead of the group that claims to represent the interest of igbos, voicing out to the government to compensate the families of the deceased, and jail the soldiers responsible, the are going cap in hand to Aso rock.
This guys are pathetic

Laudable though, I'd suggest that they take their charter of demands to Otueke. The same Ohaneze that refused to meet with Buhari during the campaigns now wants to table it's charter of demands. Buhari wrote to the group requesting to meet with the members to get their views articulated into his campaign and they refused because the former president was paying dollars.

Buhari through his DSS are intimidating Ohaneze members with blackmail of collection money from GEJ and using that to force them to work against IPOB. This is why the likes of Isiguzoro and other ohanaze charlatans are working very hard to scuttle IPOB and save their necks from DSS and EFCC.

The DSS idea is simple, "help us quell IPOB in your land, tell the US reps that you don't want Biafra only good roads and infrastructure, else we will bring trumped up charges of corruption and arrest you".

These are the people that want us to believe they have the intrest of Ndigbo in their hearts. Buhari and the DSS have them on a leash. Infact when ohaneze is speaking, Buhari is actually speaking.

**This is from a reliable source**

Asking Buhari to fulfill the promises made to them by Jonathan.
It is always better to get engaged than to stay in a corner and sulk.

It's a widely known fact that the agitation was just a weak strategy to gain bargaining points for political inclusion, which is why they have been completely ignored and cut to size all this while, after the political simpletons played themselves into irrelevance and obscurity by their myopic politics of hatred and bigotry.

They are slowly waking up to the realization that the ineffectual Jonathan scammed them and was a total failure.

Review the leaders of business and politics, but enough of your simple minded distraction.

Swerve, this discourse is beyond your pay grade son. You will be ignored henceforth.

Nice one.

An ibo man, ifeanyi ubah, was the facilitator of TAN. A lot of ibos were members of the Tranformation Ambassadors of Nigeria, but immediately GEJ lost the election, they all remembered that ''Nigeria is a zoo''

Pls do the heat is something else

I am waiting till they go and come back.

I thought you biafran irridentist often tell us that ALL ibos are in support of biafra and that the ''Yoloba'' and ''Awusa'' people are the one stopping you from going back to biafra. Now the ohanaze is also opposing your biafra ambition, is it suffice to say that ohanaze ndibo is peopled by Yoloba and Awusa ?

Coming directly from Ohanaeze Ndigbo is very good. Buhari should accept the Charter, send it to NASS and ask NASS to cost and apply equally to all the States of the Federation.

Wish them safe trip

Do your people pay tax and levies more than Igbos?

Why shouldn't we demand reward for our serial contributions?

The Easterners have gone international with their demand for freedom and there's nothing you can do about it.

See IPOD life....just wasting people life...+hanaze is goinng about it the right way,even though na selfish parole too

If the nairaland MODS do not ban this guy, then they are hypocrites

Among the issues they resolved to present to Buhari for urgent attention included the reconstruction of the Enugu- Umuahia- Port Harcourt Road, the Enugu- Onitsha express road,

I Thought, IPOB Youths Said, Jonathan Had Done The Roads?

As far as I'm concerned, this Ohaneze criminals are representing themselves.. The old shameless ediots should go and sit down and stop bringing shame to Igbo land.

You do not reap where you did not sow.






















Dead on arrival.

Bloody bastards

They will also create western and northern development commission since there is unemployment everywhere.

Indirectly coming to beg on kanu's behalf.

Lesson learnt: Look before you leap; never beat your chest, when u know u can't handle a lion
