Warns pro-Biafra protesters to avoid South-South territories
Uyo —The ethnic nationalities of the South- South geo-political zone, yesterday,
denounced demands for Biafra by Igbo in the South-East zone and called for an
immediate cessation of pro-Biafra protests on their soil.
This came as the South East Governors Forum, SEGF, summoned an emergency
meeting of Igbo leaders to discuss the persisting protests by members of the
Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, which have paralysed economic activities in the
old Eastern region.
In a
10-
point
communique issued at Uyo at the end of a meeting held under the auspices of the
Conference of Ethnic Nationalities of the South-South at Uyo, Akwa Ibom state,
chaired by HRM, Obong (Dr) EU Ekidem, Ntisong Ibibio III, the Ntisong of Ibibio land,
they dissociated the South-South zone from the “so-called Biafra.”
Representatives of Ibibio, Efik, Anang, Ijaw, Itsekiri, Urhobo, Ikwerre, Oro, Isoko and
several other nationalities attended the summit. Among them were the interim chair
of the group, HRM Ekidem, Convener of the meeting and Secretary of the Itsekiri
Leaders of Thought, ILoT, Delta state, Barrister Edward Ekpoko, Albert Akpomudje,
SAN (Urhobo) and president general of Ogbakor- Ikwerre in Rivers state, Prof A.M
Onyeozu.
Pastor Nelson CocoBassey (Efik ethnic nationality), Ulap Bidiak Uloh (Oro ethnic
nationality), Amechi Ogbonnia (Itsekiri), Obong Ukpong Umoh and Obong Aniedi
Ndem were at the conference and signed the communique.
The South South nationalities said, “We will not allow any inch of the land of the
ethnic nationalities mentioned above and other lands of the South-South to be part
of the ill-thought-out enterprise.
“We call for a halt to demonstrations for Biafra on our land henceforth as it touches
on the collective sensibilities of our people and could provoke ethnic crisis.
“We are not only surprised but shocked that Igbos who returned to Nigeria after the
fall of Biafra in January 15, 1970 with tales of woes and horrors can talk about
Biafra.”
They added: “It is in the interest of Igbos that Nigeria is protected as they have
more investments outside their homeland.”
The Conference called on governors, political leaders and traditional rulers of the
South-East geopolitical zone to “speak out now as their silence is becoming
eloquent.” Furthermore, the South-South ethnic nationalities urged “well-meaning
Igbos to call their children/wards to order to prevent an avoidable crisis.”
“We call on the law enforcement agencies to be more vigilant.
“We believe in one Nigeria and will do all within our power to protect the unity of
Nigeria,” they stated.
A call for peace
The South East Governors’ position was contained in a communique issued after a
meeting of the governors in Enugu yesterday. The communique read by the
Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha after the meeting at the
Government House Enugu in the evening said.
“The South East Governors met today (yesterday) November 17, 2015, and
deliberated on a number of issues and resolved as follows:
“To appoint a high level Economic Advisory Committee to harness the economic
potentials of the people of the South East working together.
“The governors are concerned about the poor state of the Federal Government
roads in the zone namely the Enugu – Onitsha, Aba- Ikot Ekpene , Owerri – Port
Harcourt, Enugu – Port Harcourt, among others which need urgent intervention by
the Federal Government.
“On security, the issue of MASSOB/ IPOB, was discussed and they resolved to
consult widely with Ohanaeze (Ndigbo), traditional rulers, development unions,
clergy, and other stakeholders on how to ensure lasting peace in the zone. In
furtherance to this, the South East Governors scheduled an emergency meeting of
stakeholders on Sunday, November 22, 2015, at Enugu. “Expected to attend the
emergency meeting include all National Assembly members, all ministers and other
invited stakeholders from the zone.
“They meanwhile, advised MASSOB/IPOB to continue to toe the line of peace as this
is the only way to ensure economic development of the zone.”
Those who signed the communique included Governors Okorocha, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi
(Enugu); Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia) and the Deputy Governor of Anambra State, Dr Nkem
Okeke, who stood in for Governor Willie Obiano. The Ebonyi State Governor, Dave
Umahi who lost his mother recently was absent at the meeting and no reasons were
given for his absence.
Answering reporters’ questions on which faction of Ohanaeze the governors wished
to work with, in view of the disunity within the group, Okorocha said that “whatever is
available as Ohanaeze, we will see to it” that they participate.
He said also, said that there was no vacuum in the leadership of the governors’
forum as any of them could be chairman. The forum has not had a substantive
chairman since the exit of the former Governor of Abia State, Ochendo Theodore Oji,
who is now in the senate.
Itsekiri, Warri territories not Biafra—INYC
In tandem with the communiqué issued in Uyo, President of the Itsekiri National
Youth Congress, INYC, Esimaje Awani in a statement in Warri, Delta State, yesterday,
warned that “Itsekiri and its territories should not be included in any IPOB or Biafran
plan.”
He stated that Itsekiri were an indigenous ethnic group of Nigeria’s Niger Delta
region of Delta State presently resident in the Warri South, Warri North and Warri
South West Local Government Areas bordering the Atlantic Coast of Nigeria as their
homeland with their only neighbours being the Bini to the North, the Ijaw to the
South, the Urhobo to the East and the Yoruba of Ondo State to the Northwest.
Awani noted that from about 1490 – 1884, the Itsekiri had an independent political
kingdom known as Warri Kingdom that was not subordinate to any of the World
Powers in Europe or any African Kingdom, adding that it was in 1894 when the
Niger Coast Protectorate was established that it came under the protection of Her
Britannic Majesty vide the Treaty of 1884.
According to him, by another Treaty of 1894, the Itsekiri remained under the British
until the Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria was created and in 1914,
without consultation with the Itsekiri people, Lord Lugard decreed Nigeria into
existence and made Warri Kingdom (Itsekiri homeland) part of this enterprise.
He said by the map of The Republic of Biafra of May 1967, Edo and Delta states of
Nigeria was never envisioned as a part of Biafra by the legendary Chukwuemeka
Dim Ojukwu, saying that the current inclusion of present Delta State, including the
Itsekiri National territories of Warri Kingdom without due consultation is
preposterous, totally unacceptable and ultimately invalid.
“IPOB and Biafra have their rights of agitation for freedom of self determination as
enshrined in the United Nations declaration, but other minority ethnic groups not duly
consulted and their approval secured should not be dragged along to avoid the
mistake that led to the civil war.
“The magnanimity of Itsekiri in allowing Igbos celebrate the Igbo Cultural Day in our
land should not be taken for granted as we urge IPOB to de-list Itsekiri territories
and Warri areas from its proposed map,” he said.
Cabal leadership
Spurred by President Muhammadu Buhari’s stance on the indivisibility of Nigeria,a
faction of MASSOB,yesterday, asserted that the people of Eastern Nigeria are bent
on secession.
MASSOB frowned at the skewed structural existence of Nigeria insisting that it
favoured no ethnic group rather the ‘cabals’.
Factional Director of Information,MASSOB,Mr. Uchenna Madu disclosed this in a
statement to newsmen noting that,”Nigeria in the real existence favours no ethnic
group but only the cabals,politicians,high profile personalities. Biafranism is deeply
rooted in consciousness of every Igboman and major ethnic groups in the South-
South geopolitical zone.
“The Biafran referendum that will be conducted by the United Nations,UN,will testify
to our popularity and acceptance by Biafrans. We view the Nigerian Army’s decision
to hit Biafran protesters as a rancour of jittery a
