IPOB Tantrums Can’t Distract Us From Presidential Bid – Ohanaeze by adenigga(m): 10:53am On Jan 20, 2021
The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has warned the Indigenous People of Biafra to stop distracting it.

It said the Ohanaeze had a focus of producing a president of Igbo extraction in 2023 and not secession.

It maintained that IPOB would not be allowed to lead the Igbo at a time like this in Nigeria.

The National Vice-President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Damian Okeke-Ogene, stated this in an interview with our correspondent in Awka, Anambra State.

Describing the Igbo project of producing a president of Nigeria from the South-East geopolitical zone as a serious business, Okeke-Ogene asked IPOB to key into Ohanaeze plan instead of being antagonistic to the leadership of the socio-cultural organisation.

IPOB had in the attack vowed not to recognise Obiozor as leader of Ndigbo, describing him as “a Fulani stooge”.

The proscribed group had said, “This is because Obiozor was imposed on the Igbo socio-cultural body by the Fulani cabal running the failed state of Nigeria.

“The Chief of Staff to the President, Alhaji Ibrahim Gambari and Miyetti Allah were instrumental to the emergence of Obiozor as Ohaneze National President according to our findings.”

But the National VP of Ohanaeze described IPOB’s tantrum as a “distraction and the ranting of children”.

He said, “This is not the time for distraction. IPOB is entitled to their opinion, but we won’t allow certain opinions to distract us from our focus. We have a purpose we want to achieve.

“Our mandate is to produce a president of Nigeria of Igbo extraction in 2023. We can’t realise that by excluding the Igbo from the rest of Nigeria.”

MASSOB knocks Ohanaeze leadership over 2023 presidency

In a related development, the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra says the current leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo has no agenda for the people of the South-East.

MASSOB also criticised the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Prof. George Obiozor, for calling on some politicians of Igbo extraction to get set for Nigeria’s presidency in 2023.

The National Director of Information of the movement, Mr. Sunday Okereafor, told The PUNCH in a telephone that Obiozor was aware that it was impossible for an Igbo man to be the president of Nigeria.

Okereafor said it was surprising that rather than support the struggle for Biafra, the leadership of Ohanaeze was angling for an elusive Igbo presidency.

“We, MASSOB, are now telling the new Ohaneze Ndigbo President, Prof. Obiozor, that on Biafra we stand. We were thinking he has an agenda for the Igbo, but he has no agenda,” he added

Even with 100% support of Igbo population in 1967-70 it ended in defeat, how do you get Biafra this time around without suffering another defeat?

Igbo leaders are to blame for this. Our political struggles and shame began from 1999! How do you allow MASSOB and IPOB two enemies of Ndigbo and sponsored by the PDP take charge of Igboland. Many of us saw this coming right from Uwazuruike! Today the chicken have come home to roost and today these clowns are dishing out order because we allowed it fester to this point.

This is what you get when you failed to do the basic since 1999.

1. Stupidily and sheepishly supporting the candidacy of Obasanjo.
2. Allowing the thugs who took over the PDP take turns to rape Ndigbo in the ass. The likes of Chris & Andy Uba, Jim Nwobodo, Orji Uzor Kalu, Nnamani, Iwuanyanwu, Nzeribe, Anyim, Egwu, Elechi, Abaribe and other clowns who took charge of the SE politics.
3. Allowing Obasanjo use us as slavish allies in his battles against the north.
4. Allowing the PDP destroy Igbo political gains by forming MASSOB which went on to do the following in Igboland. Use Biafra as a selling point to make us lose our sense. Brainwash Igbo from participating in national elections, stop our people from participating in the national census and other political participation.
5. Allowing the PDP gain a foothold of Igboland which went on to destroy our potential political rise in the persons of Okadigbo etc.

Today MASSOB which metamorphosed into IPOB a staunch PDP wing has made it their business to continuing to sabotage Igbo interest.

Today the chicken has come home to roost.

you certainly doesn't know the history of that war, and you think that even with 1000% igbo support that an igbo man will win a presidential election in nigeria? You are surely in denial, those ohaneze people clearly know this and are looking out for their pockets, I am neither IPOB nor massob member but I know they are clearly right on this, that's why they have our support, there are far more intelligent people in ipob and massob than you can ever find in ohaneze,

See them. Ndi PDP deceiving themselves. From MASSOB to IPOB. When will this charade end.
First was fraudster Uwazurike who smiled to the bank after assisting government in slaugtering able-bodies Igbo youths. Many MASSOB members still languishing in different national prison ever since. Yet Uwazurike the fraud has never remembered them or assist in their release.

Then another blood sucker called Kanu emerged. First he led the slaughter of youths in their hundreds. Then went home to lead his parents to their untimely death. That wasn't enough, the clown took his fight online and has continue to put Igbos youths in danger under the fight for one online republic. May curse be upon both of them. Their cup will full one day.

What miracle do you think the Nigerian military can do now if Igbos took up arms for Biafra? 1967 to 70 when Britain and Russia were supplying Nigeria with all the arms and ammunition it needed, is not now. Nobody is coming to Nigerias aid any more

Two geopolitical regions deserve the 2023 presidency. 1st is Southeast and 2nd is northeast. However, the current political equation of Nigeria hugely favors the northeast in 2023.

It is TOTALLY silly for Igbo to aspire to become president in 2023. The best path to Igbo presidency is to become V.P to a northeast president. Afterwhich it will clearly be the turn of the southeast to produce the president.

Those clamoring for the southeast presidency are neophytes and totally oblivious of the reality in Nigeria today.


1. PDP could NEVER win the Presidency in 2023 if it has Igbo presidency as a candidate. Even if they win, the APC will still use the apparatus of the Federal Government to convert the PDP victory into APC victory! Nothing will happen! After all, they did the same to Atiku to a large extent.

2. APC would NEVER give Igbo its presidential slot. Umahi and other over-ambitious daydreamers are simply being used to get APC as a significant competitor in their states and in the southeast by extension.


Those like Orji Uzor Kalu, Okorocha and Umahi clamoring for "Igbo presidency" in 2023 are simply vying to be V.P for themselves. They totally know it isn't feasible at all.


IPOB has earned more respect than any Igbo politician alive today despite Nnamdi Kanu's oral diarrhea. The southeast politicians missed a golden opportunity to stand with their people when massacres were going on in several communities by the Fulani herdsmen. Instead, they clearly showed they were more concerned about their selfish political career than the lives of their people. The result is that since Nnamdi Kanu came to their rescue again, he has gained even more reverence and importance in Igboland. In fact, the reason those Fulani enclaves in Ama hausas, Ugwuoba, Lokpanta etc were not attacked despite Fulani army doing python dance is that MNK refused to order it then.

Now, it is clear that any killing of Igbos will attract reprisals on those responsible. The illegal bandits camps in the forests all over southeast that the Igbo politicians refused to condemn are being abandoned by the bandits who are aware that a fire-fight with ESN will ensue if they stayed in those forest camps. Igbo politicians know they cannot counter it if the order is given by IPOB. In short, Igbo politicians especially those in today's ohaneze know they do not control the population. That is why such statements trying hard to relegate IPOB as an insignificant factor in the southeast today is totally hilarious.

You simply have no answer to give that is the reason you are writing epistle.Ask the person who has promised to restore Biafra to you for the past 9 years how he intend to achieve it.Oh I forgot, you guys in IPOB can not question your demigod and fake messier MNK.
You can't get Biafra by wishful thinking.
An Igbo man is qualified to become president of Nigeria,there is no written law that says otherwise.
If we can be senators,governors,vice president,chief of army staff etc...One of us can be president if we work towards it.Why is IPOB against the project?.IPOB members are the only set of Igbos that live under the bondage of a ruthless scammer.He takes their money and still send them to commit mass suicide.Zero achievement in the past 9 years and over 1000 deaths.Atleast Igbo presidency project will not put any Igbo live in danger.
