The Biafra Zionists Federation, BZF, on Tuesday stated that the Minister for information, Lai Mohammed and the Chief of Army staff, Tukur Buratai will end up in prison over the deployment of troops to Abia state.

It can be recalled that the military exercise 'Operation Python Dance II' led to a violent confrontation between the members of the Indigenous people of Biafra(IPOB) and the Soldiers which resulted in deaths.

The leader of the group, Benjamin Onwuka said that all the people involved in the deployment of troops to Aba and Umuahia will pay a heavy price over the deaths.

He also attacked Fr. Ejike Mbaka of the Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria, who he said was sabotaging the Biafra project. Onwuka said;

"It is clearly a tragedy. It is clearly a military invasion; it has nothing to do with IPOB or Nnamdi Kanu. This is the North invading the East because of Biafra. I want to deeply condemn that act.

The attack on Biafran soil is an attack on all of us. The army is not supposed to interfere in the internal security situation of the nation; they are not supposed to get involved in domestic security of the country. So, sending the army to Aba and Umuahia was with an ulterior motive.

Using Nnamdi Kanu and the IPOB to as a pretext to kill young men and women in in Abia and other parts of Igbo land, the North will have to pay for it. So, I condemn in totality the brutality of the army in the name f Operation Python Dance.

We, therefore, state clearly today that all those involved, the Chief of Defence Staff, the Chief of Army Staff and the Minister of information, will pay for these killings, They will all end up in ICC and then in prison.

Anyone involved in this military force against un-armed agitators will never go scot-free. We are not only going to take them to the ICC but prosecute the matter to the end until they are made to pay dearly for it. This time around, they will not escape justice. They did it in 1967-1970 and went away with it but it won’t happen this time. Britain and Saudi Arabia will not even save them.

For Lai Mohammed, can you see the lopsidedness in his argument? How can someone compare IPOB with herdsmen? These herdsmen have been killing people in their hundreds unhindered and that is why I insist that some Northern leaders are behind Boko Haram and herdsmen.

So, the statement from Lai Mohammed is rubbish and I am telling him today that he will face ICC over the killings in Abia.

We are as well calling on the Northern religious leaders, the Sultan of Sokoto and the Emir of Kano to call President Buhari and the Army Chiefs to order.

They should order them to withdraw these troops and rampaging herdsmen from Biafra land."

Attacking Mbaka, he said;"it is regrettable that our Church leaders, notable ones, instead of supporting Biafra, they are busy using words that do not in any way reflect what is happening. Look at the killings in Abia, have they said anything.

Go to South-Africa, Desmond Tutu, an ArchBishop was in in the vanguard fighting for the liberation of the people, but here in Biafra, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka and ArchBishop Emmanuel Chukwuma, and several others are campaigning against the overall interest of the Biafran people.

They cannot be supporting our opponents openly here in Biafra land. If they don’t want to support Biafra, let them mind their business, let them face their duty of preaching the word of God, but involving themselves in attacking the people is very tragic.

The Zionists are are warning Ejike Mbaka that he is putting his adoration ministry on the line. All the clerics supporting these killings will be sent away from here by the Biafra government and we will take over that his adoration ground.

Attacking us and calling us names is unacceptable. People are being killed every day, has any of them come out to speak against it? We have marked Mbaka as an enemy of Biafra."

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has stated that the illegal conspiracy between the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), All Progressives Congress (APC) and Police is a threat to the nation's democracy.

Speaking on Friday when granting audience to the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) at the Government House, Port Harcourt, Governor Wike stated that following the use of the Police to deny the people of Rivers East Senatorial District their mandate, the APC has made it their official policy.

According to him: "The strategy has been adopted by the APC was experienced in Rivers State during the rerun elections. We have to alert all other Nigerians about this strategy.

"The alarm we have raised on the printing of fake result sheets was correct. They used Special Anti-robbery Squad to abduct INEC officials and smuggle in fake results ".

He called on all the political parties to be vigilant and stop the actualization of the plot of APC to rig the 2019 polls.

"They know Nigerians are tired of being deceived. That is why they will plan to massively rig the 2019 elections. As IPAC members, you must be vigilant. They will do everything possible, including killing dozens of persons to remain in power. This is because the people have rejected them, " he said.

The governor said that despite the anomaly that greeted the Rivers East Senatorial District election, INEC has remained silent. He said that INEC must offer an explanation on the fraud APC used the Police to perpetrate.
Governor Wike added that all other political parties participating in the forthcoming Anambra Governorship election must be vigilant as the APC is planning to rig the polls.

"Democracy is under threat. We must defend it, he said.

In his remarks, the Secretary of IPAC, Chief Perry Opara said Rivers State is working because Governor Wike is investing in development projects.

He commended Governor Wike for carrying all political parties along in Rivers State, urging the Federal Government to imbibe the same pattern which will reduce tension in the country.

The 46 Political Parties of IPAC conferred on Governor Wike, "Most Opposition Friendly and Eagle of Nigeria."

The Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike to publicly apologise to the people of the State and his immediate past predecessor and benefactor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, over the ceding of Soku Oil Wells belonging to the State to neighbouring Bayelsa State by the administration of former president, Dr Goodluck Jonathan.

This follows Wike’s acceptance that the disputed Soku Oil Wells which he and Dr Jonathan connived to cede to Bayelsa belonged to Rivers.

19th September 2017 will ever remain memorable in the politics of Rivers State. This was the day that one of the hidden truths was brought to the open. By his confession, Governor Wike has vindicated our claim that he collaborated with Dr Jonathan to fight Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi to a standstill and dislodged APC that clearly won the 2015 general elections, from the Brick House, Port Harcourt.

One of the ways in which they achieve this infamous feat was to cede our oil wells in a bid to economically emasculate Rivers State and starve Amaechi of funds,” Rivers APC said in a statement signed by the State Chairman, Chief (Dr.) Davies Ibiamu Ikanya.

It may interest all that on this fateful day of 19th September 2017 Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State while addressing the Surveyor-General of the Federation, Mr Ebisintei Awudu stated, “I call on the Surveyor-General of the Federation to help in resolving the dispute between Rivers State and Bayelsa State. We believe that the oil wells belong to us. We are brothers and there is no need for this conflict to linger. Imagine if it was between two states with no relationship, it would have been worse”. The Governor pointed to the deadly boundary conflict between Kogi and Anambra over oil found in the area to affirm his latest stand.

Wike’s latest stand on this controversial issue is a reflection of a misguided leader who likes to play politics with every issue so far it will benefit him not minding if such a stand is against the progress of Rivers State and her people.

It is on record that Governor Nyesom Wike used this particular issue about three years ago to dehumanise and abuse his predecessor and benefactor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and called him several uncouth names for pleading and stating that it was wicked of Dr Goodluck Jonathan then President of Nigeria to cede oil wells to Abia and Bayelsa States just to prove his disdainful and hatred for the people of Rivers State after given him one of their daughters (Dame Patience Jonathan) for a wife and ensured that he was properly educated.

Because of Amaechi’s stand, Wike as the then Supervising Minister of Education threatened him with everything within him including brimstone and arrest immediately after Dr Goodluck Jonathan will be declared as president for a second term in 2015.

According to him, “Once the Independent National Electoral Commission announces the victory of President Jonathan, we will immediately shut down the Port Harcourt International Airport and all land and sea borders in Rivers State to prevent Governor Amaechi from escaping”. But God proved him wrong and will further proved him wrong when he continue to confess all that he has committed against a man who saw him through to what he is by today. The party emphasised.

Sadly, Goodluck Jonathan as President at this period and without EXCO authorisation, ceded a part of Rivers State, Soku, to his home state of Bayelsa and Wike to exhibit his poor understanding of the plight of Rivers State and her people appreciated Dr Jonathan for this heinous and evil act by given him an award during the Rivers State’s 50 years celebration as a State and according to Wike, the award as a result of, “For Jonathan’s contribution towards the growth and development of Rivers State”. If Wike is serious in demanding for the receding of these oil wells back to Rivers State, let him, Wike start this by withdrawing the unsolicited and unmerited award given to Dr Jonathan after which, he should formally apologise to God, Amaechi and the people of Rivers State for criminally emasculating them economically by this evil act against the State and humanity for us to take him serious.

The need of Nyesom Wike to apologise to the people of Rivers State stems from the fact that it was thesame Wike while as Minister of Education that sent his political group, Grassroot Development Initiative, (GDI) to harass and disperse the leaders and Traditional Rulers of the kalabari Kingdom under the auspicious of Kalabari National Forum in their protest march to submit their letter to the Director General, National Boundary Commission, Abuja against this inhumanity act on 29th October, 2012 titled, “PROTEST AGAINST MALICIOUS AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL INTENT TO BALKANIZE AND EXCISE OIL PRODUCING COMMUNITIES IN KALABARI KINGDOM OF RIVERS STATE AND ANNEXING SAME TO BE PART OF BAYELSA STATE and signed by both His Royal Majesty,KING (PROF)J. T. J. PRINCEWILL, AMACHREE XI, AMAYANABO OF KALABARI, HRH KING D ISRAEL GBOBO BOB MANUEL (2) OWUKORI (1X) and all the other Traditional Rulers from the Kalabari Kingdom.

In this historical letter which Wike and Jonathan ensured that it did not see the light of the day, the Kalabari Kingdom stated, “...We want to conclude by informing Your Excellency, without any iota of doubt, that we had made great sacrifices in the past to enthrone the peace currently enjoyed by both States in the region. Our patience with and loyalty to the Federal Republic of Nigeria must be protected and seen to be so. We therefore UNEQUIVOCALLY, demand that whatever Administrative maps that has been issued that does not reflect the 10th Edition of the administrative map of Nigeria as it affects us, be withdrawn forthwith and status quo maintained as our known historical boundary with the Nembe Kingdom in Bayelsa State is the SANTA BARBARA RIVER.

The pleas to Dr Jonathan by the Kalabari Kingdom, “Your Excellency is therefore requested to use Your Excellency’s good offices to advise the parties in the Supreme Court case and the relevant government agencies to await the production of the 12th edition as pronounced by the Supreme Court before taking any further steps, in the interest of peace, equity, fairness and justice all fall to the deaf ears of Mr. President.

It is for this heinous act and evil against Rivers State and her people that we urge Wike to formally apologise to Rivers State and her people.

Finally, we urge the Surveyor-General of the Federation, (SGF) to assist and restore back the Soku Oils Wells back to Rivers State not minding that Wike was one of the architects and brains behind this unfortunate misfortune brought on us as a State.

Presidential aide, Lauretta Onochie has defended the Federal government's decision to launch 'Operation Python dance II' in the south eastern part of Nigeria.

Onochie, in a facebook post, pointed out that the leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra(IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu as running an 'illegal government' and seems to have ties with 'a country where arms and ammunition seized by the Nigerian Custom originated from'. She wrote;

"I now understand why Ohaneze Ndigbo has been unable to stand on solid ground but rather has been on sandy soil regarding Nnamdi Kanu. What is driving their stand? I believe they are being tossed about by every wind of doctrine because of fear of reprisals from little Nnamdi Kanu's boys.

In 2015, at the beginning of the Buhari administration, and following the example of Anioma people of Nigeria, other ethnic groups in the South South, and socio-cultural organisations in the South East, including Ohaneze, distanced themselves from the actions of notorious Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB. Not many people doubted that IPOB was a merchant of terror that tried to use fear, abuses, outright lies, manipulation of the truth and insults to colonise Ndigbo in something that is akin to modern day slavery.

It is common knowledge but hush hush that South Easterners were being forced to fly the Biafran flag and to wear Biafra memorabilia. There have been threats to lives and properties across the South East, and threats of rape to women who shun their hate campaign.

For starters, Ohaneze Ndigbo is an association that was registered in Nigeria to represent the interests of Ndigbo of Nigeria. That is why it is called Ohaneze Ndigbo and not Ohaneze Ndi-IPOB or Ohaneze Ndi Biafra!
How has the Ohaneze helped terrified Ndigbo who are living in fear for their lives and properties in the South East of Nigeria? They haven't because they themselves have been terrified.

I have confirmed, via personal interviews of South Easterners who live in Onitsha and Aba, that there was a great sigh of relief when the Nigerian Army was seen in the region. Ndigbo who live in their ancestral homes in the South East, are for the first time in two years, breathing a sigh of relief and freedom.

You see, little Nnamdi Kanu, a college dropout, is immature and childish. The South East governors know and appreciate this fact. This was why he was asked to come with his father to attend a meeting with them.
If Nnamdi Kanu needs his father to attend a meeting of leaders, how mature are those who see him not just as their leader, but as their God?

These mostly uneducated, half baked and uncouth youngsters, went about the South East, intimidating ordinary Ndigbo, threatening them with death and violence if they refused to kiss Nnamdi Kanu's toes.

If the IPOB leader and his cohorts learned a good lesson from The Python dance {1} by turning away from their ways, there would be no need for a second Python dance. When your brother is in trouble, the least you could do is to support him. The Python dance is not just for the freedom of Ohaneze, so they can have a sound footing, and advocate fearlessly for ordinary Ndigbo, but also, for ordinary Ndigbo so they can associate freely. No one should have to be in danger or live in fear for not supporting a criminal agenda in a free country.

As an Igbo woman put it, "If Ndigbo need to renegotiate their membership of Nigeria, it will be a discussion and that discussion will not be led by disenchanted politicians and definitely not by Nnamdi Kanu."

The Nigerian Army has come to the South East to exercise it's duty towards Ndigbo who have been held captive by the fear, not of some foreign aggressors, but of some youngsters who act under the manipulations and brain-washing by one who is delusional. Anyone who suffers from delusions of grandeur or megalomania should not be left running wild among law-abiding people.

I do not understand those who are calling on the Nigerian Army to stop the Python dance. Nnamdi Kanu is running an illegal government in our nation, complete with his own Army, Police, Secret service, Anthem, coat of arms, passport and currency. If that is not an affront on our collective existence, I don't know What is.
Nnamdi Kanu appears to have a tie with a country where arms and ammunition seized by the Nigerian Custom originated from.

Nigerians and in particular, Ndigbo in this case, deserve to carry out their lawful engagements, without fear of molestation.We must, therefore, thank the Nigerian Army for coming to the aid of Nigerians in the South East and safeguarding them from the antics of a very sick young man.God bless Nigeria."
