DECEMBER 21, 2018 NEWS

Ndigbo Muslims of Nigeria have agreed to speak with one voice through the South East Muslims Organization of Nigeria (SEMON) and to align themselves with Ndigbo agenda even while promoting the unity, peace and progress of Nigeria.

They appreciate the efforts of Igbo leaders in defence of the Ndigbo cause and interest in the Nigerian project, but express concern over the Igbo Leaders of Thought and the Ohaneze Ndigbo who meet on behalf of the Igbo Nation without the inclusion and involvement of the Ndigbo Muslims’ representatives, a political strategy they describe as counterproductive for the development of Igboland and the nation towards the Southeast project of Nigerian Presidency in 2023.

In a communique issued at the end of their national summit in Enugu, last weekend, signed by the National Chairman, Muhammad Obiahu Ajah Jr., FCIA, National Secretary, Abdur-Rahman Nwabueze Urama, National Public Relations Officer (PRO), Yahya Onyedikachi Abugu, and endorsed by state representatives and elders, Sheikh Adam Abdullah Idoko (Enugu State), Sheikh Haroun Ogbonnia Ajah (Ebonyi State), HRH, Dr. Abdulfattah Emetumah represented (Imo State), Alhaji (Hon.) Musa Iheakaram (Abia State) and Alhaji Sani Ejor (Anambra State), they resolved that their readiness to meet with the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, each of the Governors of Southeast States, Ohaneze Ndigbo, the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Jama’atul Nasiril-Islam (JNI), the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Muslim Ummah of Southwest Nigeria (MUSWEN), amongst others.

They reaffirmed their position to participate fully in the 2019 general elections and vote for candidates of individual choices especially those who will carry Igbo Muslims along with appointments into political offices of trust. It was agreed that Ndigbo Muslims contesting for positions in the forthcoming elections be massively supported for success. On this, Ndigbo Muslims should continue to strive for excellence in their private life pursuits and support governments of their respective States and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

They prayed for the peaceful conduct of the general elections, smooth handover to all the winners and urged Nigerians to work for the growth of Nigeria as one united indivisible nation.

They warned against violent campaigns and admonished Nigerians especially the youths not to allow themselves to be misused as thugs and criminals by politicians for the elections.

They want to be known and addressed, henceforth, as Ndigbo Muslims and in full identification and promotion of Igbo culture, including Igbo dress and language. In connection to this, they plan the institution of leaderships of Ndigbo Muslims in each of the five states of Southeast and of Igboland.

This is to have organized leaderships like the Emirs in the North and Obas in the West. “For the progress of the Igbo Muslim Ummah, SEMON should continue to advocate for equity and fairness for Igbo Muslims. The organization should cooperate with governmental and non-governmental organizations that mean well for Igboland, for Nigeria and Igbo Muslims.

“SEMON plans to institute an Annual Lecture to commemorate the life and achievements of late Sheikh Ibrahim Okpani Nwagui who brought Islam to limelight in Igboland. SEMON also encourages intermarriages amongst themselves through adoption of the Sunnah, the practical life of Prophet Muhammad in all aspects of their lives.”

"While we appreciate the efforts of our Igbo Leaders in defence of the Ndigbo cause and interest in the Nigeria project, we appeal to the Igbo Leaders of Thought and the Ohaneze Ndigbo to note that their meetings on behalf of the Igbo Nation in this regards without the inclusion and involvement of the Ndigbo Muslims representatives is not a good political strategy.

We cannot be decrying the scheming out of Igbos from strategic positions in Nigeria while we internally marginalize and exclude Ndigbo Muslims who have the same stake in the Nigerian project because of their choice of relationship with the Almighty.

The tendencies are not good or productive for the development of Igboland and Nation towards the Southeast project of Nigerian Presidency in 2023.”

Present at the Summit were Igbo Muslim Leaders, Scholars, Academia, Legal Luminaries, Traditional Rulers, Entrepreneurs and SEMON’s Representatives in the States of the Zone.

Also present were the Federal Commissioner of the South East Geopolitical Zone on the Board of the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON), Alhaji Ibrahim Ezeani, Executive Secretary of Enugu State Pilgrims’ Welfare Board and Deputy National Secretary of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Sheikh Adam Adbullah Idoko, the 2019 Gubernatorial Candidate of the Peoples Party of Nigeria (PPN) in Ebonyi State, Dr. Haroun Ogbonnia Ajah, HRH, the Offor of Umuofor Kingdom and Chief Imam of Oguta of Imo State, Dr. Abdulfattah Emetumah represented, a senior lecturer of the Federal University, Lafia, Dr. Suleiman Ogah, the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the Executive Governor of Abia State, Alhaji (Hon.) Musa Iheakaram, the South East Director of National Directorate of Employment (NDE), Arch. Zubayr Usman Ugwu and the Secretary General of Anambra State Muslim Council, Alhaji Sani Ejor. Other prominent Igbo Muslims who graced the Summit were the Southeast coordinator of Federation of Muslim Women Associations of Nigeria (FOMWAN), Hajiya Ruqayyah Ahmad Mika’il represented, Chairman of Imo State Muslim Council, Alhaji Yusuf Nwoha, the Guest Speaker, Alhaji Suleiman Afikpo, Phd, Director of Islamic Center, Uwani-Enugu, Alhaji Musa Ani, Director of Islamic Center Anofia, Ustaz Isa Christian Friday Okonkwo, Board Members of SEMON, legal team of SEMON led by Bar. Haroun Ezeh, amongst others.

This 0.00000000000000001% of Igbo Lunatics think they matter at all when issues that concern Ndigbos are tabled.

Unlike a certain tribe, these Igbo Muslims loyalty first is to Igbo land and will never accept orders from the Emirate. Really commendable.

This shows that truly Islam is the fastest growing religion in the SE. The religion is spreading like wildlife in those parts.

They don't even hide their intentions anymore.

FAGGGOTS, HOMOSEXUALS, DRUG ADDICT AND LUNATICS BASED IN KANO AND SPONSORED BY BUHARI AND SULTAN OF SOKOTO.


THE ONLY PLACE THEY BELONG, IS IN KANO AND SOKOTO.


THAT IS THEIR PLACE OF RELEVANCE.


SEEK FOR OFFICE AMONGST YOUR FELLOW MUSLIMS AND LEAVE THE IGBO TRIBE OUT OF THIS.



IGBOS ARE NOT MUSLIMS, WE WERE NOT CONQUERED LIKE THE YORUBAS BY USMAN DANFODIO.


UNTIL IGBOS ARE CONQUERED, WE ARE NOT MUSLIMS.

SAUDI ARABIA AND BUHARI WILL START BUSINESS FOR MANY OF THIS TRADERS.

AT THE END, THEY WILL UNDERSTAND THAT ANY SUCH TRADERS THAT BETRAYS CHRIST WILL END UP SEEKING POLITICAL OFFICE IN KANO.

AFTERALL, MUSLIMS ARE ALL THE SAME AND ONE.

NOTHING LIKE IGBO MUSLIM.

A MUSLIM IS A MUSLIM.

ATTEMPT TO DRAG THE IGBO TRIBE INTO AN AREA THEY ARE NAUSEATING WILL BACK FIRE ONCE AGAIN ON THE PLOTTERS.

U WILL SHARE THE POLITICAL OFFICE IN KANO WITH DEM AS FELLOW MUSLIMS.

There is no such a thing as Igbo Muslims, they exist only on nairaland and nowhere else.

Only the Yoruba were conquered by all manner of people in the south, they were conquered by pregnant and menstruating dahomey ladies before Jihadi caliphate came to shiit in their necks, the reason why they are the only Muslims in the south.

Yaribass never became Muslim by choice.

Nigerians accept all peoples of every religion.

Those who divided Nigeria and brewed hatred will soon be sent back to Daura

They'd avoid this thread like a plague since it contains vicious truths to their lies. We even have a Muslim Igwue!

They realise that they are first IBO before Muslim even though Islam try to deceive people to forget their ethnicity and attack other religions.

Do you know there are Wawa Igbos? They are predominantly from Enugu. Most of the Alhaji Emeka Obiachina names mentioned there are from Wawa stock. So, you are likely correct!

I couldn't agree more with you...

It's obvious that there is ongoing media propaganda by Buhari and his fellow terrorists who are pushing us to believe what does not exist..
Only God knows their intention of doing this. Time will tell...

Stop deceiving yourself...
Such thing only exist in your skull. You better travel and stop typing trash from Oshogbo.
Igbos are mainly Christians..Apart from Christianity, If there is any other fastest growing religion in Igbo land, it should be Judaism...

Corrinthians:
I am telling you.

Bro, something is certainly wrong with these people spamming my mention like I owe them money. Are those Igbo Muslims any more or less threatening or evil than the Atiku (a Fulani Muslim) they are worshipping?? I just tire for their selective Islamophobia.

you no get shame?

of course with an Islamic fanatic as president you should expect evil religious propaganda against igbos. I hear they want to ban osu tradition , but why not morph the tradition to target and ostracize moslems in igboland?

Igbo agenda first unlike Yoruba Moslems that sold their Christian brothers. Anyway, I have never seen Igbo Moslems. Let them visit the East first

Juliusmalema:
I hate lies....

Over 50% of ebonyi state populace are muslms.

The issue is that they are Muslims but they are not igbos.

I have never tagged them igbos and they will never be.

The first jihad to be led in igboland will come from ebonyi but God knows what will befall them that day.....


There are Muslims in ebonyi, they are Muslims but there are no igbos in ebonyi and they are not igbos.

It is not true. I don't think they are up to 0.1% of Ebonyi state population.
