WE WILL NOT SUPPORT BIAFRA STRUGGLE - OHANAEZE YOUTH

Socio-political group, the Ohaneze
Youth Council, OYC, has declared
that it is not involved in pro-Biafra
agitation and was not mobilising
Igbos for anybody.
This was as it denied responsibility
for the crises currently rocking the
pro-Biafra group, Indigenous
People of Biafra, IPOB, which had
led to the emergence of two splinter
groups, Reformed Indigenous
People of Biafra, RE-IPOB, and the
Re-branded Indigenous People of
Biafra, TRIPOB.
Insinuations in certain quarters
fingered some top officials of OYC
as being responsible for the crises.
But the group in a statement said
that neither the entire body nor its
President General, Mazi
Okechukwu Isiguzoro are
responsible for the crises.
The statement which was signed by
chairman of all the chairmen of
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth wing, Mazi
Okemiri Alex, described the report
linking OYC to IPOB crises as a
“naked lie.”
The statement reads, “The attention
of the leadership of Ohanaeze
Ndigbo Youth council worldwide is
drawn to a publication in some
media which claimed that the
National President of Ohanaeze
Ndigbo Youth council worldwide,
Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro is
behind the break away faction of
IPOB called TRIPOB.
“This is a naked lie. Ohanaeze
Ndigbo Youth council worldwide
has nothing to do with TRIPOB
neither is it involved in the crisis
rocking IPOB. We warned one Elliot
Uko and the spokesperson of IPOB
Clifford Iroanya to stop
blackmailing the leadership of
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth council
worldwide or we will declare them
enemies of Igbo.
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth council
worldwide is the apex Igbo Youth
body and does not involve itself in
any pro-Biafra agitation and is not
mobilizing for anybody including
President Buhari on October 1,
2016, but will be at the forefront of
calling for the release of all Biafran
detainees.
“We believe in restructuring of the
country according to 2014
Constitutional conference and call
on President Buhari to look into it.
We advise IPOB to please, not
involve Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth
council worldwide in their
propaganda.”
