The issues of Biafra are above and beyond Kanu’s capacity to decide- Ohanaeze

By our reporter| The issue concerning Biafra is beyond the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the newly elected president of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Prof. George Obiozor has said.

Obiozor who also warned the people of the South-East and some organisations to restrain forthwith actions or utterances that put Ndigbo in imminent danger or harm’s way, stated this at a World Press Conference at Ohanaeze National Secretariat Enugu.

According to him, the Igbo nation was not at war with Nigeria and had nothing pending before any authority that demanded a separate entity for Ndigbo.

Obiozor, therefore, appealed to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to toe the part of honour, listen to the voice of wisdom and drop his agitation for a separate state.

“The Igbo nation is not at war with Nigeria and has nothing pending before any authority that demands a separate existence from Nigeria, he said.

“Nnamdi Kanu is one of us and he must listen to some of us for several reasons. The fact and reality are that the issues of Biafra are above and beyond his capacity to decide.

“He must listen because he is one of us and we are all in this dilemma together. And our mutual and collective responsibilities are sacred and must be respected.”

The new president of the apex Igbo socio-political organisation, reminded Ndigbo that what the late Biafran warlord, Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, meant by the bones shall rise didn’t mean conflict, violence and war.
