Former Ohanaeze President
General, Dozie Ikedife, has insisted that the United Nations, UN, can’t tell
people of the South East to remain in Nigeria.
The President of South East
Elders Forum was reacting to a statement credited to the UN team that visited
Ohanaeze President General, Chief Nnia Nwodo in Enugu that Nigeria will remain
an indivisible entity.
Ikedife wondered why the UN
should be the one to tell the Igbo what is good for them.
Speaking with The Sun, Ikedife
said many Igbo don’t feel very comfortable with the situation in Nigeria.
Ikedife also lashed out at Igbo
leaders, saying their failure to lead well has contributed to the problem in
the South East.
He said, “They shouldn’t be the
one to tell us what we want, it is the person that wears the shoes that knows
where it pinches him, so the UN shouldn’t be the one to say that Nigeria must
remain one.
”What they ought to say was that
they don’t support or they support, but not to insist that Nigeria remains one.
That is their opinion.
“If we have the right
representation, they will represent us well, but many a times we are
unfortunate that those who say they are representing us don’t represent us
well.
“If the Federal Government wants
to discuss, it does so with Ohanaeze and the governors who are more concerned
with winning elections, and they don’t represent the real core interest of
Ndigbo.
“It is all part of our problems
being represented by the wrong people with different agenda”.
