Biafra : IPOB Not A Terrorist Organization - Ohaneze

ENUGU – Ohanaeze Ndigbo has
faulted Nigeria army’s
declaration of the Indegenous
People of Biafra, IPoB, as a
terrorist organisation.

Ohanaeze said that indeed IPOB is
not a terrorist organization going
by extant national and
international laws, especially the
terrorist prevention Act 2011, as
amended in 2015.

It however commended the
South east Governors for their
role in dousing the escalated
tension over army’s siege of
the region.

Rising from Imeobi meeting in
Enugu, last night, the apex Igbo
body said it stood for a united
Nigeria under a restructured
federal system of government
that guarantees justice, equity and fairness.

In a communique read by the
President General of Ohanaeze
Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo,
flanked by other Igbo leaders, it
condemned the military
operation in the zone and urged the army to terminate the
exercise henceforth.

The group said it will hold a
special summit soonest in support
of the restructuring agenda and
supported all the resolutions of
the southern leaders forum.

It emphasized concern on the
continued policy of
marginalization of south east
zone as the basic cause of
renewed agitation by Pro-Biafra
groups.

Those who attended the meeting
included: President General of
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Chief Nnia
Nwodo, Deputy Senate President
Ike Ekweremadu, Abia state
Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, Imo state Deputy Governor Eze
Madumere and Ebonyi state
deputy Governor kelechi Igwe.

Others are former President
General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Prof
Joe Irukwu, former Secretary
General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Dr.
Joe Nworgu, former minister for
Information Walter Ofonagoro, former deputy Governor of
Ebonyi state Prof Chigozie Ogbu,
Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Dr.
Greg Ibe and former Governor of
Anambra state Dr. Chukwuemeka
