The youth wing of the Igbo
socio-political organization, Ohanaeze Youth Council, OYC, has said Governors
of the South East took the right decision by proscribing the Indigenous People
of Biafra, IPOB, under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu.
OYC said the decision of the
governors to proscribe IPOB averted loss of lives and breakdown of law and
order and avoided a declaration of state of emergency in the region.
In a statement issued on Friday,
OYC said it was in support of any action taken to address the “age-long
marginalization of Ndigbo in Nigeria” as long as it won’t lead to loss of
lives.
The statement was signed by OYC’s
National President, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Deputy National President, Dr
Arthur Obiora, Secretary General, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, Dr. Kingsley Dozie and
Barrister Dikeadi John.
According to the statement, “The
decision of the governors was the need of the moment, to avoid a declaration of
state of emergency in the South-East.
“We are saddened by the level of
confrontation between the Nigerian Army and the Biafra agitators and the
consequent death of many Igbo youths in the process.
“We are also sad over the
reported death of a policeman during this unfortunate but avoidable incident.
“We are equally aware that the
South-East Governors were also in discussion with the agitators before the
military launched its action.
“However, considering the level
of destruction and ruins that could have erupted, we applaud the South-East
governors for rising to the occasion. It was indeed the need of the moment.
“We cannot afford to continue to
lose the life of our people, in addition to over three million killed during
the Civil war.”
