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.”

hmmmm i can see that all this Ohanaeze people love Biafra to be actualized but are just being afraid of unknown

Of course....heating up the polity is why he doing this. LOL

Ohaneze's pacifist approach has failed to lead us anywhere.

Kanu's firebrand has put the issues in front burner. Clearly every one can see whose method is more effective, and sadly it's not Ohaneze's!


Fire on Kanu, let heaven fall!


Referendum now!!

This looks like power play to me.
The Ohaneze feels threatened by the power drunk supreme leader who feels issuing out threats and ordering SIT at HOMEs would futher deepen the call for secession.

Heating up the polity for directing people to boycott the election which is recognized all over the world ?. You Ohanezes are not serious .
What happened on 30th may would be a child's play to compare with what will happen come Nov election day. No single soul would be seen at the pooling unit.
Mind you, KANU won't force anybody, but his words alone will fight for him.

Allow Nnamdi Kanu to try something new.Btw,there have been no election in Igboland since 1999 but selection of rogues to lead us.

Ohaneze fooling themselves

Who listens to people who can't read the handwriting on the wall


Nigeria can't be restructured

Time for a Referendum

heating is even mild, how I wish d polity fit erupt self. b4 I was suggesting restructuring but its like am beginning to c it from nnamdi kanu's point of view.

after the forth coming revolution in this country, all past political leaders in this present country shud b killed for disobeying the command of the Nigerian national anthem

I said it there will be a civil war in Igboland between IPOB and Igbos. We have begin to see the WAR of WORDS.

IPOB thinks the war if there is any will happen in Kaduna or Ogun state. It will happen in the east, and like the north east. It will simply be cordoned, when you guys have killed and maimed enough .. na you go get up like civilian JTF

You father did not see the storm, even if he did he cannot warn you about it because, he left you without training to engage washing plates in the North.
Your lack of training will suffer you for a longer time.
