. Solution is within us
Ohaneze Ndigbo said that solution to the sit-at-home orders that have destroyed the socio-economic viability of South East geo-political zone is not in Abuja meetings but in the cohesion of some non State actors in zone in collaboration with sincere key players in Igbo land.
The group asked that the Igbo leaders who are in Abuja to discuss or negotiate end to the sit-at-home should hurry back to their home land,
“ask more questions, look out for those who and what made peace possible in some States in the zone even in the heat of crises “.
“Such people are ready to replicate the solution in the entire Southeast if the Igbo political leaders are ready to listen. President Tinubu should demand from those who are on Anuja
Jamboree to bring onboard those who made Abia State peaceful in the face of Southeast insecurity”.
A press statement issued yesterday by Mazi Okechuwu Isiguzoro, Secretary General of the Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide explained that Igbo leadership will continue to interface and intercede with critical stakeholders to end the problems in the Southeast and urged Southeast Governors to retrace their steps and come back home to resolve the issue.
“Ndigbo are yet to see where AREWA, AFENIFERE, PANDEF even the MIDDLE BELT Sociocultural organizations overruled resolving their issues at home, and in their zones to relocate to Abuja in search of shadows.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has commended the Southeast Governors for showing interest to halt the Sit -at -home orders in the Southeast but the outcome of their Abuja meeting with Igbo leaders has shown that there are no answers in sight to end the insecurity challenges and Sit -at- home orders that have incapacitated the economic and social activities in the Southeast”.
“Even one of the Southeast Governors acknowledged that the situation at hand is beyond their control, and the choice of Abuja venue where Igbo predicaments were discussed makes a caricature of it, as it is a clear indication that the conveners and those behind the meetings have lost the control of the Southeast to non State actors and are frightened to convene such meetings in the Southeast, a proof of negligence and defeat”.
“Ndigbo should know that the solution to end the Sit -at -home orders is in the Southeast is not going to Abuja in search of peace and to stabilize the Southeast, we have met today (Sunday) with critical stakeholders and nonviolent Biafra agitators on consultative sessions to find out remedies and the best approach to resolve the problems and end it once and for all. The council of Elders of Ohanaeze Ndigbo led by Prince Richard Ozobu have faulted why will some Igbo Political leaders who have abandoned their States in the East,will now converge in a foreign land at Abuja and resort to help of foreigners to resolve a matter of Igbo affairs with homemade solutions”.
“Biafra agitators should be conscious of the fact that wrecking down the economy of the southeast and killing innocent citizens through Sit -at-home orders will never affect the activities of Federal Government in any way, as the silence of the Past and Present-day Federal Government shows that so far as there is no disruption of oil and gas exploration or threat to national security, Southeast self-inflicted insecurity should go on and devour the Igbos. But that should not lead us to engage in vandalism or criminal violence against the nation or ourselves”.
” Ndigbo should know that the solutions to end the sit -at -home orders are here in South East not in Abuja and the reasons why those who are opposing the release of Nnamdi Kanu from the Niger Delta and the North is that they comprehend that some set of political Igbo leaders are toothless bulldogs who have lost the control of the Southeast to the non-state actors”.
“Nonviolent Biafra agitators and Igbo leadership insist that Igbo political leaders should return home and discontinue moves to beg President Tinubu’s attention, as the President may not be happy with them for not making their Son see reasons why he should form a Government of National Unity with President Tinubu and withdraw his petition from the Presidential Tribunal. Sit -at -home Abuja meeting is no solutions to Sit- at -home, answers are in the South East”.
