Igbo leaders in America, Europe, Japan, China and south Africa have come together to agree that, no Igbo man or woman in Nigeria should participate in coming general election in 2019. No man should come out as a Governor, Senator, president or vice president from South East. If Biafra has not gained her freedom till then.

However, coalition of pressure and socio-political groups in the South-East on the banner of the Eastern Consultative Assembly, ECA, has made the restructuring of the country, a major condition for backing any candidate or political party in the 2019 general elections.

Rising from a meeting in Enugu, the Enugu State Capital, leaders of the groups, who lamented the killings of Igbo people in many parts of the country and refusal of the Federal Government to punish the culprits, said Nigeria cannot afford to continue with the unitary system of government.

Held at the residence of Chief Mrs. Maria Okwor, the meeting had in attendance leaders of the Clergy, Christian Association, CAN, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, town unions, students groups, women associations, youth organizations and traders unions. Also present at the meeting were relatives of Ndubisi Uzoma, who was beheaded by Fulani herdsmen, last week, in Abuja and Pastor Mike Agbahime, who decried the release of Dauda and co who murdered his 74 year old wife, Bridget, in Kano last June.

In a communique by Mrs. Maria Okwor and secretary of ECA, Evang. Elliot Ugochukwu-Uko, the ECA said ”the continued pretence by the central government that the loss of faith in unitary Nigeria as shown by various agitations for secession can be resolved through force of arms is childish and actually paints government as unserious and insincere about the need to save Nigeria’s future.

Every adult in Nigeria, knows Nigeria’s survival is hinged only on a sincere restructuring of the polity along the lines of regional autonomy, anchored on true fiscal federalism according to the 1963 constitution.

Continuous delay in restructuring Nigeria only deepens the acrimony, distrusts and fears presently ruling the land.” The leaders also tasked the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubabakar 111, who is visiting Enugu, today, on the killings of Igbo in the North and menace of Fulani herdsmen.

They said: ”As a new awareness slowly but certainly emerges from the ashes of these trying period, we warn our leaders without followers that their 46 years old self-centred agenda and mindless exploitation of the masses’ helplessness has abruptly come to an end, as they have to key in to the people’s demand of political restructuring of Nigeria, if they want to truly lead the people.

”No politician who is not in support of restructuring Nigeria will receive votes in Igbo land, from ward elections, through state and National legislative elections to governorship and presidential elections.

Our people will only vote for freedom from eternal slavery henceforth.” It condemned the release of Dauda Ahmed and co, who were charged for the murder of 74 year old Bridget Agbahime in Kano on June 2 2016, and urge both the Kano state government and the Federal government to re-arrest and retry the five murderers and bring to justice the killers of Mrs Agbahime as earlier promised by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The ECA also condemned the non arrest and prosecution of Fulani Herdsmen who beheaded and carted away the head of citizen Ndubisi Uzoma in Iddo, airport road Abuja last week over incessant altercations with Fulani herdsmen due to the destruction of his farms.

It stated that the continuous refusal by government to set up a Judicial commission of enquiry as demanded by the Senate, Amnesty International and others, over the extra-judicial killings of Igbo youths especially on February 9, 2016 at National High School Aba and St Edmonds Catholic Church Nkpor on May 30, 2016 has earned the secessionist groups more sympathy and painted government as the villain.

”The current government strategy of ‘we have enough ammunition to deal with you people’ exemplified by military operations named after all kinds of reptiles, is clearly not working.

Identifying and addressing the issues that has led millions of young people to lose faith in Nigeria remains the only solution to resolving these agitations. Military solution only exacerbates it,” it added.

This your madness is of finest quality.

After splitting the Old Eastern Region to South East and South South you're now trying so hard to split South East to Igbos and IPOBS.


Your hatred for Igbos is making you mad and you have nobody to tell you because you're a patriotic BMC.

As far as federal republic of Nigeria is concerned ipobs are criminals.

I'll vote for Senator Samuel Anyanwu in 2019

these people should be freed joo so that they can go and suffer the lives of their heads.

come to think of it, what do they have self? cash crops they don't have even food crops they don't have. may be they think the south south will join them, by so doing they can rely on the crude oil in the area. meanwhile they are only deceiving themselves cos they are on their own and will be responsible for whatever they bring upon themselves.

wetin konsain me.

Confused people

Which court in Nigeria convicted them? Even those that paid police like you arrested sometime ago have been freed because they're innocent of all the charges but you're here calling them criminals to please your masters and displease your conscience.
It's sad that you don't have a mind of your own and stop calling yourself a patriot because we all know that you're a paid patriotic zombie and it pains me that a man of your age can be bought so easily and cheaply.

Point of correction.. not cos I'm interested in this yeye thread but just felt like a lil education won't come amiss since most of you tend to confuse secession with gaining independence.....

Nigeria was never one country with its colonial masters, Nigeria was colonised by only one country: Britain & it wasn't an acrimonious separation......

An example (may not be apt but it comes close & it will be easy for y'all to grab) is a boy/ young man leaving the village to come to Lagos or any city to "SERVE" oga, there will come a time that he will be granted freedom to start his own biz & it's that same oga that will give him the initial capital to take off... Imagine if everyday he fights, abuse & sabotages the main business venture & walks away...... would he be able to go lie on the man's couch, eat his food & enjoy his hospitality again ?

Throw them a bone and they'll rush coming...

Cjrane2:
Dream on Afon
Igbos are going to support Abubakar Atiku 100%. You can support Buhari and we'll see who will win.

Just watch and see.

Ipobs are not interested in amala and ewedu

So you lots should calm down and mind ur Nigerian business

Unity beggars of Nigeria
Fear of Hausa Fulani is real
See them flooding the thread wey no concern them

As expected and still continue to be a slave in lord luggard arrangement

Eastern Consultative assembly ECA....Who are they? That a(n) Hausa-Fulani president or his Afonjo stooge to promise restructuring of Alaigbo before we Igbos vote for them... How can your enemy restructure your region/land for you? How is that possible?

Me personally has promised never to vote hausa-fulani,Afonjo candidate. I will never vote for a northern or western candidate.

Bring me an Igbo man and i might consider voting again.
