Youth Council Worldwide, OYC, has said that the insurgency ravaging the North
East is a reward of the sins committed against the Igbo 50 years ago by the
North during the civil war.
The OYC also hailed
the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, who yesterday said that God
was using the insurgency to punish Nigerians for their Sins.
OYC position was
contained in a statement signed and made available on Friday by
its President-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro and its Secretary-General, Mazi Okwu
Nnabuike.
“OYC insists that
why insurgents are ravaging the North is based on the sins committed against
Igbos 50 years ago during the BIAFRA war by mostly Northern Military leaders,”
the group said.
The group maintained
that Northern leaders witnessed the unfortunate killings of over two million
Igbos, who are mostly children and women, adding that until the “North repents
and support a Nigerian President of Igbo Stock 2023 as a medium to ask God for
forgiveness, the insurgency will continue to serve a punishment to them.”
OYC further insisted
that God has given Igbo the solutions to heal the North and end the suffering
in the region, accusing Northern politicians of benefiting hugely from the
insecurity challenges in the region.
OYC said it condemns
in strong terms the bill, entitled ‘National Agency for Education,
Rehabilitation, De-radicalisation and integration of repentant insurgents in
Nigeria’ sponsored by Senator Ibrahim Gaidam on the floor of the Senate.
The Igbo youths
described the bill as a, “cosmetic approach to legalized insurgency and create
opportunities to waste resources.”
