[s]It's a widely known fact that the agitation was just a weak strategy to gain bargaining points for political inclusion, which is why they have been completely ignored and cut to size all this while, after the political simpletons played themselves into irrelevance and obscurity by their myopic politics of hatred and bigotry.[/s]

By Emeka Mamah Enugu—THE Ohanaeze Ndigbo has resolved to visit President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa in Abuja with a charter of demands.The resolution was adopted after a meeting of some members at the private residence of one of their leaders in Enugu, yesterday.

Among the issues they resolved to present to Buhari for urgent attention included the reconstruction of the Enugu- Umuahia- Port Harcourt Road, the Enugu- Onitsha express road, appointment of more Special and Senior Special Assistants or Assistants as Igbo are not represented in his government, as well as the completion of the Second Niger Bridge to end the ongoing agitation for Biafra Republic. Apart from these, they also resolved to ask the President to set up the Eastern Nigeria Development Commission, ENDC, to handle the issue of unemployment of Igbo youths which they said was responsible for the continued agitation for the Biafran Republic by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, as reportedly requested by Governor Rochas Okorocha during the reconciliation meeting between the two former factions of Ohanaeze led by Chief Enwo Igariwey and Ralph Obioha respectively.

Okorocha was alleged to have pledged to take “Ohanaeze to the river,” during the reconciliatory meeting of the two factions in Owerri, the Imo State capital about two weeks ago. Sources close to the meeting told Vanguard in Enugu that other matters which came up included the search for a new chairman of the group following the end of the tenure of present executive led by Igariwey.

Meanwhile, IPOB members have reacted to the outcome of the Ohanaeze meeting, saying that “some Igbo politicians who are using IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu (its detained leader) or Biafra to get cheap popularity will fail and advised them to stop doing so with immediate effect.” In three separate statements, IPOB listed Igbo leaders like Chief T. A Orji, Rochas Okorocha, Emeka Offor, Eze Cletus Ilomuanya, Ike Ekweremadu, Chukwuma Soludo, Ralph Uwazuruike, Okezie Ikpazu, Onwuka Ukwa as well as Ohanaeze Ndigbo” as among individuals and groups working against its interest. According to IPOB, “the Ohanaeze Ndigbo was looking for access to Buhari for the selfish interest of its members adding that they were using the blood of dead Biafrans to enrich its members.” Those who signed the statements were Emma Mmezu and Clifford Iroanya.

Also, in the second statement entitled, “THE STRANGE DECISION TO CONTINUE PLAYING WITH FIRE,” they said, “The well- rehearsed attempt by Joe Nwaogu, Ohanaeze scribe to deny their attempt to stifle the demand for freedom by all peace loving people, while using the IPOB agitation as an “Open Sesame” to have access to Aso Villa is actually childish. Nwaogu lied when he claimed the U.S. Consular General also visited other zones. Truth is the IPOB agitations informed the U.S. delegation’s visit to the South East. They did not visit nor have intention to visit other zones.

ohaneze does not represent biafra struggle .. they represents their own belly ....

hungryboy:
Ohanaeze is a disgrace,
No matter as hunger dey hold me, i no fit visit the killer of my brother house, go beg am chop,
No matter which side you are on the Biafra issue, if you are sane, i don't think that you will support the extra judicial killing of unarmed Ipob protesters,
Innocent igbos were killed, and instead of the group that claims to represent the interest of igbos, voicing out to the government to compensate the families of the deceased, and jail the soldiers responsible, the are going cap in hand to Aso rock.
This guys are pathetic

kITATITA:
Laudable though, I'd suggest that they take their charter of demnds to Otueke. The same Ohaneze that refused to meet with Buhari during the campaigns now wants to table it's charter of demands. Buhari wrote to the group requesting to meet with the members to get their views articulated into his campaign and they refused because the former president was paying dollars.

MORNDEW:
So theres unemployment in south east? I thought they were all unemployed and own all the business in Nigeria. The truth if you go to many LGAS in south east u will be surprised contrary to what this people pride about, their education level is low hence their easily gullible attitude.

So now its to create east development commision. So where is we the south south in this beggy beggy charter?

My South South brothers please lets not be dis miscalculating in our lives.

Asking Buhari to fulfill the promises made to them by Jonathan.
It is always better to get engaged than to stay in a corner and sulk.

LadyExcellency:
Do your people pay tax and levies more than IPOBs?

Why shouldn't we demand reward for our serial contributions?

The Easterners have gone international with their demand for freedom and there's nothing you can do about it.

CyberWolf:
As far as I'm concerned, this Ohaneze criminals are representing themselves.. The old shameless ediots should go and sit down and stop bringing shame to Igbo land.

ElCapone:
its a classical case of bin awarded a penalty and u balloon it, as full time approaches u are nw desperately begging 4 a draw after conceding an unnecessary goal.

lonelydora:
When you people talk like this, I begin to wonder if I actually did wrong by voting Buhari. Please don't generalize this Ohaneze thing.
