The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has condemned President Muhammadu Buhari's 'genocidal' statement.


Buhari, while reacting to the destruction of 42 facilities of the Independent National Electoral Commission across Nigeria, particularly in the South-East, vowed that the people responsible for the destruction would ‘soon have the shock of their lives`

He added that“many of those misbehaving today are too young to be aware of the destruction and loss of lives that occurred during the Nigerian Civil War. Those of us in the fields for 30 months, who went through the war, will treat them in the language they understand.”

In reaction, the Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, asked the president to immediately retract the statement which threatens a repeat of the civil war experience.


The body also urged Buhari to tender an unreserved apology to the Igbo and show love to the people of the region by having a dialogue with Igbo governors and leaders, including youths and agitators.

The statement read, ”Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has studied the proclamation of President Muhammadu Buhari on social media responding to the insecurity challenges in southeastern Nigeria and we ask President Buhari to quickly rescind the threats of repeating the episode of the civil war experience which killed 3 million Igbo people and wreaked havoc on Igbo properties.

”Mr President should tender an unreserved apology to Ndigbo, for the civil war contentions against southeast to help avert possible misinterpretation of Nigerians misconstruing him.

”We are using this channel to remind President Buhari that there are killer-herdsmen and Northern bandits based on the earlier warnings of USA Embassy, Abuja that 'they were heading south to destabilise the region'.

”The recent provocative onslaught against the southeast gave rise to Northern delinquents commandeering the moment to unleash affliction on security formations and government agencies like INEC (Independent National Electoral Commission).

”We are solidly behind the southeast governors in these tribulations and difficulties to restore peace and stability in the southeast, and President Buhari should regularly be scheduled to meet with Igbo governors and leaders, including youths and agitators; this exhibition of love is what Nigerians expect from Buhari, not civil war magniloquence.

”Federal Government honoured the Yoruba nation through MKO Abiola by the declaration of June 12 as Democracy Day to heal the psyche and wounds of the past, Southeast should be honoured on June 12 Democracy Day through Presidential pardon and amnesty for all repentant Biafra Agitators. No matter the number of challenges that confront Ndigbo, we will not like to be threatened with the genocide of 30 months of Biafra War again.

Trash

Which Buhari ?

if Ohanaeze is expecting apology from the same Buhari who sees other tribes as lesser Nigerians, but only Fulani/hausa as first class citizen and only fit to be head of government parastatals.

Ohanaeze go wait tire. He will still do what he said he will do, so Ohanaeze better warn their youths

That man is heartless, brutal and wicked, he will do anything to keep the status quo

.

I really don't blame buhari
I blame the useless south east governors that can't Stand up for their people

Perhaps, you shouldn't have bothered to make this request

Nna mehnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Ohaneze are one of the groups digracing Igbos, what will his two face apology change? We have received the message clearly and no amount of apology can change that.

It does not change anything. In saner climes yes.

Here is not sane. Ohaneze should know better. Demanding for a retraction and an apology from an insane government is foolhardy.

Even if such wonders occur, it really does not change the hate and jealousy.

Ndi Igbo kwenu...

Bide said that the massacre that happened in Tulsa is a genocide after 100 years of hidden it from history. Nigeria leaders will some day regret their actions towards we the ndi-igbo

The chain of reactions following the President's tweet has shown that the UGM are Igbos with full support of their kinsmen.
Buhari's tweet reads: "many of those misbehaving". Is he not implying the UGM?. Ain't those instigating the series of violence, killings & burning across the SE?.
It therefore means that people in the SE are in cahoots with the UGM.

Can't understand why some people hitting their heads on the wall unnecessarily.

-Osu amaka

Pls allow Yoruba messiah

Yoruba propaganda keep pushing and telling him that 2021 is old school and 67. Is present

And the dullard with his impish Vice is acting according to his worshippers

But wen e burst them go free .. like afonja the Yoruba hero

Ohaneze should forget about the thing in asorock

The statement make sense .. just for the record

When will igbos take responsibility for killing the leaders of SW and North in 1966?

"Who the gods want to kill, they will first make mad".


One thing I like about this very tweet is that it is a leaked intent. Those concern may surprise him having known his intentions.

Secondly, the whole world has been made aware of a hidden agenda. They are watching too.

What is the UGM known for?.. human rights justice?

It is high time that the international community steps in and arrest this terrorist Buhari for threatening a whole tribe. Is it until he carries out his threats against the Igbos before they will do the needful

Yes he will apologise only if kanu will come into nigeria.
