Ohanaeze gives IPOB leader 7 days to withdraw death threat on Nwodo

 Magnus Eze, Enugu

A face-off is brewing between the youth wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo and the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, as the former has issued a seven-day ultimatum to Kanu to withdraw his alleged death threat on President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo.

They said Kanu should be ready to face dire consequences if he failed to apologise to Nwodo, Ohanaeze youths and the entire Igbo nation for his unguarded utterances.

The IPOB leader had a fortnight ago, in one of his outings on social media, directed Igbo youths to stone the Ohanaeze leader to death anywhere they saw him.

The report, which went viral has dominated public discourse across towns and communities in Igbo land and beyond.

Irked by the development, Ohanaeze youths staged a solidarity march for Nwodo on some streets of Enugu metropolis Tuesday evening.

The march terminated at the Ohanaeze national secretariat, where they were received by the President of Ohanaeze, Enugu state chapter, Chief Alex Ogbonnia.

Leader of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Enugu State, Wenceslaus  Ogbonnia, who spoke on behalf of others said  they embarked on the march to demonstrate that the IPOB leader was on his own and to tell the world that Igbo youths were firmly in support of the various steps their parent body of all Igbo socio-cultural associations globally, had taken so far in ensuring unity of Igbo people world over.

Such steps they said, had help in cementing peaceful relationship between the Igbo and their neighbours, host communities and other ethnic groups, most especially in Nigeria.

They described the utterances of Kanu against Nwodo as very unbecoming and his recent outburst urging Igbo youths to stone him [Nwodo] to death, as the highest point of insult on the Igbo leader, the youths and the entire Igbo race.

“We read Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s  death threat in which he urged Igbo youths to stone Chief Nnia Nwodo, the Ohanaeze President General, wherever they see him on the social media. We followed it up and found out that it has been an issue of public discussion across Igbo land. Here today, the Igbo youths are saying no to Nnamdi Kanu’s proclamation. We have respect for our elders. We have respect for Chief Nnia Nwodo. He has achieved much for the Igbo nation, in his capacity as the current President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide,’’ they stated.

They also applauded the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo for adopting and canvassing for ‘restructuring’ as a panacea to the nation’s socio-political and economic problems.

According to them, restructuring was similar to the ‘self-determination’ pursuit of an independent state of Biafra.

The youths commended Nwodo’s approach in tackling the various socio-political challenges confronting the Igbo, stating that they cannot no longer be at ease Kanu’s style of intimidating and threatening Igbo leaders, to gain cheap popularity.

Addressing the crowd when he eventually drove into the Ohanaeze secretariat, Nwodo disclosed that there were other threats and propaganda aimed at maligning him but that as a father of the Igbo Nation, he simply has refused to join issues with his sons.

He said he still sticks to his inaugural statement to defend the cause of all Igbo pressure groups with genuine cause, when it matters and thanked Ohanaeze youths for their peaceful solidarity march.

  1. Dr Uche Kalu says:
    2 years ago

    I reckon that the late Ikemba of Asaba ( Air Raid),Joe Hannibal Achuzie,
    must have for long been moving in his grave, because of what our Apex
    Igbo Organisation,Ohanaeze Ndigbo ,which he once headed has become
    today under Mazi Nnia Nwodo.
    Oh dear!
    What a crying shame indeed!
    As a matter of fact,there has been no fucking death threat against Dr.
    Nnia Nwodo coming from our Honourable Millennial Leader of IPOB,
    Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
    It is simply about confronting that Reprobate,Mazi Nnia Nwodoi, like our
    Millennial IPOB Youths did with his Wawa Kinsman,Ike Ekweremmadu
    in Nuremberg,Germany.
    The Wawa Quisling was merely pelted (stoned) with eggs and tomatoes.
    He had then travelled all the way from Alaigbo to Germany to celebrate
    New Yam Festival (Ikeji),whereas his Wawa people of Enugu State were
    unable to go to their farms and harvest some yams for their own Ikeji Festivals, because President Buhari’s MACBAN Fulani Herdsmen had
    occupied their yam plots.
    Of course,Mazi Nnia Nwodo is an Igbo Quisling,who did team up with
    those other Igbo Quislings and Reprobtes,our so called Governors,who
    proscribed our Millennial IPOB Youths and thus, paved the way for their
    designation as a Terrorist Group.
    Thus,with equanimity of Pontius Pilate,Mazi Nnia Nwodo, his cahoots
    and cohorts did,authorise the damned unabashed Igbophobe,Mallam Muhammadu Buhari to order the invasion of Alaigbo on the 30th of May
    2016 and indeed subsequently, his launchings of Python i,ii and iii Dances against our flag bearing, unarmed and non-violent Millennial IPOB and MASSOB Youths.
    Hundreds of our innocent Igbo children were then slaughtered in cold
    blood in our Cities and Towns for good measures in order to balance
    the equation with the Hausa/Fulani Jihadist Squads of Boko Haram and ISWAP killed in battles by the Nigerian Army.
    Those miscreants calling themselves Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youths,must
    stop their roiling of the polity and thus playing into the hands of the
    Nigerian Igbophobes of AREWA by their sort of washing our bed-linen
    in our open market place or rather in the public so to say.LOl!!
    ”Ndigbo chenu echiche.
    Onye aghana nwanne ya.
    Ndi ndiro gbara gburugburu na eche ndu ha nche.”
    All Hail Biafra,our God’s Own Land of the Rising Sun!!!
