- The Ohaneze Ndigbo has said
that it is focused on
restructuring the country

- It condemned the killing of
unarmed Igbo youths

The Ohaneze Ndigbo has said that
the agitation for Igbo presidency is
not of importance to it at the
moment but insisted it is only
interested in restructuring.

There has been a call for an Igbo
to be allowed to rule the country
ahead of the 2019 presidential
election.

The Sun reports that Chief John
Nnia Nwodo who is the president-
general of the apex Igbo group
spoke at a dinner organised in his
honour by Old Sigmites, Lagos
chapter where he criticised the killing of unarmed Igbo youths.

He also lashed at the federal
government over the continued
detention of Nnamdi Kanu, the
director of Radio Biafra.

“The agitation for Igbo
presidency in 2019 is a non issue as
far as I am concerned. As the
president of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, I
am apolitical, I am not a member
of any political party.

“This is an issue for political
parties, it has nothing to do with
me. The issue of power rotation
among regions is not new, it is
some how aligned with the
doctrine of federal character which is in our constitution.

“No party has called for
nomination. I don’t think
agitation for Igbo presidency is
important now; what Nigerians are
asking for is restructuring of the
country to be a true federation. It cannot continue to be a federation
in name, the political lexicography
for federation is an independent
federal unit.

“The moment you have
independent federal unit, being
state or regions and they have
control over the resources they
produce, they will contribute on
agreed proportion to the Federation. The question of who is
president and where he comes
from will die down. It is going to
be a matter of who is competent.

“MASSOB and IPOB organisations,
no matter how divided they
appear in public, are basically
motivated by the same sense of
outrage and bitterness. Our young
men and women can no longer tolerate a second class status in
their own country.”

A Niger Delta elder statesman,
Chief Edwin Clark and a Yoruba
leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo also
spoke in support of restructuring
as a way to make the country
better.

Clark said: “As President
Muhammadu Buhari used to say, if
we don’t kill corruption,
corruption will kill us, but, I am
saying, if we don’t restructure,
restructure will kill us.”

Pa Enahoro and NADECO were right, restructuring is the best way to go. It took Ohanaeze too long but it is better late than never.
