The National President of Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), the apex youth body of Igbo Socio-Cultural Organization “Ohanaeze Ndigbo” Comrade Igboayaka O. Igboayaka, has admonished Senator Rocha’s Okorocha and Mr Chidi Ibe, to refrain from making inciting statements capable of creating acrimony and disunity among Ndigbo.
Comrade Igboayaka issued the admonition last Saturday at the end of the Council’s stakeholders’ meeting conveyed to x-ray the fortunes of the body and to chart the way forward.
He expressed dismay over the alledged unpalatable utterances of Mr Ibeh to Ohaneze Ndigbo since the emergence of Prof. George Obiozor, as the President General.
The OYC Youth President reiterated that Mr. Ibe’s alledged inciting statements against Ohanaeze Ndigbo is emboldened by the sponsorship he enjoyed from former Imo State Governor Senator Rochas Okorocha.
According to Comrade Igboayaka, ” Senator Rochas Okorocha’s unguarded tirades against Prof. George Obiozor was allegedly due to the perception that Prof. Obiozor and Imo State Governor Sen. Hope Uzodinma were very close friends.
Comrade Igboayaka recalled Senator Okorocha Statement at Ogboko during a meeting he held with him on the way forward for Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
“It’s obvious that Prof. Obiozor’s ambition to become the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo was not conceived during Sen. Hope Uzodinma’s administration, as Obiozor had severally consulted the immediate past Governor of Imo State Hon. Emeka Ihedioha.
Comrade Igboayaka opined,” Okorocha wants to anchor his presidential ambition with sentiments on Ohanaeze Ndigbo and Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), this explains why he was using Chidi Ibeh to incite IPOB against the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo”
.
“It’s very unfortunate that since the inception of IPOB Agitation, many Igbo politicians have used pro-Biafrans to achieve their political selfish interests, and at the end they give pro-Biafra members name”
“Today Chidi Ibe and Rochas Okorocha have found a new love in IPOB like Romeo and Juliet, just to project themselves as pro-agitators of the Biafra movement,”
“Were was Rochas Okorocha and Chidi Ibe when IPOB members are being killed and tortured by the security agents, how many IPOB members did Mr Chidi Ibe empower when he was Commissioner in Okorocha’s administration,” Igboayaka queried.
The OYC President further reiterated that Chidi Ibe was using his inciting statements to mobilize IPOB for Okorocha’s presidential project stating ” it is unacceptable for anyone to use his personal ambition to cause crisis with Igbo youths in IPOB”
He denounced the time and resources Senator Okorocha was wasting in court to distract Prof. Obiozor, insisting it could be channelled to a substantive adventure that can favour Ndigbo.
“Enough of this gimmick and nonsense by desperate Igbo politicians using Ndigbo and Biafra quest to whip up sentiments”
The OYC President warned that Ohanaeze Youth Council will not succumb to the politics of “Divide and Rule” tactics adopted by Mr Chidi Ibe and Sen. Rochas Okorocha in Igbo land.
“Any patriotic and Progressive Igbo man should support Prof. Obiozor led leadership of “Ohaneze Ndigbo to build a new Igbo society”.
