An Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Youth Council,
OYC, has called on former Governor of Imo State and Senator representing Imo
West, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, to retract his step and stop fueling crisis in
the apex Igbo group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
Ohanaeze reminded Senator Okorocha that the task ahead of
Ndigbo is to work towards the emergence of a Nigerian president of Igbo
extraction, stressing that dabbling and interfering in Ohanaeze politics and
causing crisis in Igbo land may bring doubts in the minds of Ndigbo and
Nigerians over his presidential ambition.
The highest Igbo group, in a press release signed by its
President, Igboayaka O. Igboayaka on Tuesday,
advised Senator Okorocha not to be distracted in his quest to vie for the
number one position in Nigeria come 2023, but should use the remaining time
ahead of 2023 to reconcile with all political factors and become an ambassador
of peace in Igbo land.
OYC further noted that it is unreasonable and unacceptable
for Okorocha to be pulling the strings and pushing Mr. Chidi Ibeh to be
distracting the whole Igbo race on his purported election and reckless press
releases parading himself as the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
“The crux of the matter has ended in Prof. George Obiozor’s
emergence as the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in the election held on
10th January at Owerri, therefore, every progressive and reasonable Igbo person
should drop his or her grievances and work with Prof. Obiozor for the overall
interest of Ndigbo, “the group stated.
“Anyone who disagrees to bring what he or she has on the
table to join forces with Prof. Obiozor to make Alaigbo politically and
economically viable must have a selfish interest to undermine Alaigbo, and such
persons must be resisted by Igbo youths across the globe, “OYC further warned.
The Ohanaeze youths noted that fundamentally, anyone who
loves Igbo land shouldn’t have hand in fueling crisis, or to make Igbo land a
war zone, but should diplomatically aid in maintaining a peaceful atmosphere
through dialogue, negotiation and reconciliation.
“No one’s interest can override the general interest of
Ndigbo, therefore Prof. George Obiozor has adopted negotiation, reconciliation
and dialogue and workable tools to build a new Igbo society and should be
embraced by all progressive and patriotic Igbo groups and leaders.
The highest Igbo socio-cultural body, noted that Professor
Obiozor has mapped out agenda for reintegration of all interest groups in Igbo
land into the mainstream of political and economic development of Ndigbo in
Nigeria political project.
Recall that two different elections held
consecutively on Saturday and Sunday which produced Chidi Ibeh and George
Obiozor as the President Generals of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
