“Igbos Will Be Used As Sacrificial Lambs ” – Ohanaeze Orders Southeasters Not To Join Protests Against Tinubu


Factional Secretary-general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, has said that the people of the southeast zone will not join in the proposed nationwide protests against the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The protest is slated to be held on August 1st-10th, 2024, over the biting economic hardship in the country

In a statement on Tuesday, Isiguzoro said that Igbos will not be used again, citing that the southeast has been used as sacrificial lambs in previous riots.

He noted that previous riots have resulted in immense losses of Igbo lives and properties.

He stressed that what mattered most to the South-East was the release of Nnamdi Kanu, not participating in the nationwide protests.

Part of the statement read: “Drawing from the painful history of past riots and protests in Nigeria, such as the 17th April 1978 ALI MUST GO Protests, the 24th May 1989 ANTI-SAP RIOTS, the 1993 June 12 protests, the 2nd-14th January 2012 OCCUPY NIGERIA protests, and the 20th October 2020 END SARS protests, which resulted in immense losses of Igbo lives and properties, OHANAEZE NDIGBO highlights the fact that Igbos have often been used as sacrificial lambs in the course of these protests.

“In the interest of protecting the lives and properties of Igbos across the country, OHANAEZE NDIGBO has made the decision to direct Igbos at home and in the diaspora to refrain from participating in the nationwide protests scheduled for August 1st-10th, 2024, for the following reasons.

“Firstly, the security challenges in the Southeast region make it imprudent to allow any form of protest or riot to occur. Any attempt to enforce protests in the southeast will only exacerbate the already precarious security situation in the region.

“Extremists and criminals may take advantage of such protests to instigate violence, loot properties, and cause chaos. Therefore, it is not advisable for any protests to take place in the southeast.


“Secondly, with the fear of Igbos being used as sacrificial lambs in the upcoming protests nationwide, OHANAEZE NDIGBO advises Igbo residents in the 19 Northern States and Southwest to boycott the protests for their own safety and security. Staying away from the protests is crucial to safeguarding their well-being.”

Please listen to me.

Igbo people have suddenly realised that Tinubu is a good man, and he is capable, and doing a good work as president. We support him till 2038.

PLEASE LETS GO ABOUT OUR BUSINESSES, SAY NO TO THOSE WHO WANTS TO SCATTER NIGERIA, IGBO PEOPLE WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY PROTESTS IN NIGERIA.

THANK YOU.

Okechukwu is not secretary General of Ohaneze.

inusrn:
Why is ohaneze behaving like market woman. Every Nigerian should be allowed to exercise their right to protest irrespective of tribe.

Protest in your state. Leave Ignos out of your life's frustration.

Burruchaga71:
Okechukwu is not secretary General of Ohaneze.

We don't care, this man is saying the minds of all Igbo people.

Same people who would tell u Ikwerre are not Igbos but womt fail to quote this Ikwerre man as spoke person for igbos

Chinasa From Anambra is still fresh in our memory.

Igbo, Igbo do not protest any shit biko kwa .
history has taught us and this generation of Igbo will not be like our Father. amam na ihe di hard but chiUkwu Abiama(Abraham) go see us through. the north has started their evil plan again, stupid aboki gangude is suddenly saying igbo are marginalized like he only knew about it yesterday, see umu-nnem wise up ohh, it is all a plan to incite us with this government so they can remove him come 2027, but tell them to support obi in 2027 to remove tinubu and they won't.

Una dey too easy to use na why

Dem just dey pass u around and u sef dey fall for everything

Why are you using someone else photo for iziguruzo. Every one knows this iziguruzo character does not exist. He is a fictional invention by apc. Remove the photo there

Why do they always make everything about them?

This is the fake Ohaneze. Nobody knows this clown!

joshjc:

Because otherwise they are not noticed. They are non-entitles.

Igbos are wise, you don't need to tell them anything, they will only join any protest peacefully once they see the zeal from those who put us in this mess

DMerciful:
This is the fake Ohaneze. Nobody knows this clown!

So let's protest in our various states, we have been sending the federal government a strong message with unknown gunmen. Let's give them a riot like never before in igboland.
Alex Otti is not paying salaries, Soludo is telling teachers to backdate their 30k salary appointment. Let's end bad governance in igboland. It doesnt make sense that all our women have become prostitutes according to MNK. It's not OK that they give our people okpa and #400 to sell their votes. Bad governance we must end in Igboland.

We have no reason protesting in Lagos, Lagos civil servants are OK. Lagos is a city to envy. We need Lagos type of development in Igboland.

Use and dump.

Must we tribalised everything in this country?

Why wont the south east join the protest or aren't the harsh economic policies affecting them?

Who told them they will be used as sacrificial lamb? Wil they be there n left to be attacked by people who claim they are not indigenes?

The government hears n listen to protest a d thats the message the protest plans to send

Old fools,them don go collect money while hunger the wire us here,we igbos will join the protest

We don't care, this man is saying the minds of all Igbo people.

You are no longer brave or what? I can't believe you people will just chicken out just like that after talking tough on the internet.

More like cowardice. I like people who back up their rhetorics with action.

Also tell the other igbos outside south east not to join or sponsor any of the protests too.

ruggedboy01:

The thing funny me, bro

With the way they cry all the time, you'd think they arent even among the major tribes in NIgeria

Its so easy for the other two to use their head

mrvitalis:

This Isiguzoro doing the devil's advocate an Ikwerre man?
Seems Wike is their sponsor.

You are just an hypocrite. That is the reason others toss you people around politically. Same man you people used to condemned and said he is not representing igbos and also not a member of ohaneze indigo. Now I see why kanu and Ekpa make money. If Ekpa is arrested, another wise guy will spring out and cash out from the many mumu ones. The cycle continues.
