- The Oodua People’s Congress has condemned the ongoing Operation Python Dance campaign of the Army

- The group stated there there was no national security threat in Umuahia to warrant such display of force, and urged the government to be cautious as the tense situation may dissuade foreign investors from putting their money into the country

- The group challenged the federal government to prove its sincerity by restructuring the country as it stated that Nigeria’s most serious challenges would be solved by restructuring
The Nigerian Army’s ongoing Operation Python Dance campaign in the south-east, has been condemned by the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC).
According to reports, the group made it's comments in a statement signed on Thursday, September 14, by its publicity secretary, Yinka Oguntimehin.

Describing the campaign as an“obvious attempt to arrest the growing influence of the Nnamdi Kanu led Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB),”the group stated that instead of employing military tactics to address the IPOB issue, the federal government should rather engage in dialogue with the pro-Biafra group.

The OPC stated that the situation in Umuahia, Abia state, was not a security threat which would demand the deployment of soldiers.
The group called for caution as it stated that the IPOB agitation has attracted international support and sympathy.It said investors may be dissuaded from investing in the country if they feel like there is a civil war going on, and reminded the government that history does not favor the suppression of agitating groups.
The OPC stated that“all efforts must be made to guide jealously the hard earned democracy which individuals and groups fought hard to enthrone”.It questioned the sincerity of the federal government as it noted that Nigeria’s democracy is being threatened daily by injustice, security and the economy.It said these challenges could be solved without bloodletting, if the government would simply restructure the country.

It further advised the federal government to“take conscious effort to ensure that the incessant bloodletting in the country is arrested instead of aiding it through unnecessary militarization of the country like is being done in the South East”.

FG should send the soldiers back to the barrack. IPOB don't deserve this attention you are giving them. Na illiteracy dey worry those IPOB. They are not a threat at all.

Lies, all lies!

Except the barbarian vegetable kicks the bucket soon, he will certainly answer for war crimes. Bashir of Sudan didn't do worse with the supporter of APC yet he is still a fugitive and can't leave his country without a risk of arrest. Those nudging buhari on really do not know how the international justice system works, its a gradual process and buhari must be made to answer for all the innocent people he has murdered!!! Modified........wow nairaland is really funny, so the management of nairaland now accepts that Jan.ja.weed is now a synonym to APC?? I wrote Jan.ja.weed and it was changed to APC!!! Good to know that APC is now synonymous with terrorism!!!

I have signed on it and also confirmed my email on it. Every Igbo man and lovers of justice and humanity should sign on it and indeed on all others that are currently available online. That is the least we can do to stop the madness going on in Nigeria right now. buhari must be brought to book, if Bashir that did less crimes in Dafur region of Sudan then I don't see why buhari will still be a free man with all innocent people he has murdered both through his covert support of herdsmen committing central region of Nigeria and his use of army to kill innocent protesters in the South East of Nigeria. We will not stop calling the worlds attention to the barbaric killings going on in Nigeria until justice is done!!!

Those shining teeth about this will someday look for teeth to shine but will see non.

Evil should be condemned by all, it was has no tribe, it can visit anybody.

I don't take Opc serious cos they are known betrayals n chest beaters

Sorry my construction seems lost on you. I mean is it the OPC Obj gave orders that they should be "shot at sight" (when they're out killing others) or the one GEJ gave contracts to protect pipelines.
