President-General of Ohanaeze
Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo, has
congratulated the Governors of South-East for the bold step they are now taking to address the detention of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.
The president-general who stated this in
Enugu, said this decision had shown that
the South East governors have now fully
come on stream and this will give Ndigbo a
great leap.
He also congratulated them for their
decision to set up a joint economic team
for the development of the zone.
The Ohanaeze president-general noted that
he would soon hold a meeting with all Igbo
journalists and editors to encourage them
to cover news from Igboland with zeal and
commitment. He also vowed to address the
recent Abuja High court judgment on the
gruesome murder of six Igbo traders . He
lamented that the real culprits in the matter
were set free and those they ordered to do
the shooting were condemned to death.
He said: “There is more than meets the eye
over the matter. Many years after more
than 50 bodies of young men were
discovered in Ezu River in Anambra State,
their killers are yet to be fished out.”
Chief Nwodo noted that he would soon
meet with all Igbo senior lawyers and Igbo
senior journalists with other Nigerian
senior lawyers that are arbiters of justice
to take up the Apo Six matter, the Ezu
River killings and other cases of extra
judicial killings in Nigeria,especially
against Ndigbo.
Chief Nwodo maintained that “the only way
forward for Nigeria is restructuring of the
country and we can never run away from it.
It is the only desideratum for lasting peace
in the country,
“How can the South-East have only five
states and 95 local government areas
whereas the North-West has seven states
and more then 250 local government
areas? How can Kano State have 44 local
government areas whereas Lagos State that
is at par or more in population than Kano
have 20 local governments areas?”
