The Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, has given conditions for lasting peace with the leadership of Ohanaeze
Ndigbo and Nigeria in general.
The group yesterday met with
Ohanaeze Ndigbo, and demanded that the apex Igbo socio-political organization
fights for its (IPOB’s) unconditional “de-proscription” as a terrorist
organization.
The IPOB also demanded “an end to
prosecutions of its members arrested in various parts of the country over their
agitation for self-determination.”
The pro-biafra group also
demanded compensation for all its “members killed during the last Operation
Python Dance in the southeast as well as prosecution of security men involved.”
The meeting took place at the
Atani residence of Prof. Ben Nwabueze, in Ogbaru Local Government Area of
Anambra State.
Nwabueze said that Igbo leaders
of thought and the Ohanaeze leadership agreed to do all within their power “to
ensure that the IPOB was de-proscribed.”
He said that would guarantee
peace in the country.
Nwabueze also stated that “Ndigbo
was not interested in producing a president for the country in its present
political structure.”
He said that “it would be
difficult for such a president from Igbo extraction or any other ethnic group
in Nigeria to function effectively, hence the need for quick restructuring of
the country to avoid total collapse.”
He said the meeting affirmed the
need for rotation of the office of the president as it would give a sense of
belonging to all the geo-political zones.
