Pro-igbo group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has stated that Northern Nigeria is behind the insecurity currently plaguing the south-east.
According to the Secretary-general of the group, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the North exported violence to the South-east.
“The North is responsible for all the disaster in the South-east based on the earlier warning of the USA Embassy Abuja, ‘that Northern bandits and killer herdsmen are changing positions to Southern Nigeria to wreak havoc and destabilize the zones’.
“Northern Elders are behind the chaos in Nigeria as a ploy to retain the Presidency in the North beyond 2023, as they did to Jonathan in 2015, so they exported violence to the southeast to keep Igbo leaders busy with insecurity challenges and set traps for them(Igbo leaders) to fall in and get arrested.”
The group also attacked a former governor of Sokoto state, Aliyu Wammako.
“Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide had cautioned former Sokoto Governor, Aliyu Wamakko over impulsive comments without any iota of truth, which is capable of inciting ethnic cleansing and turmoil in the country.”
“It’s laughable that the likes of Wamakko couldn’t proffer solutions to the insecurity challenges in the North for the last 7 years, which the north incubated as a political instrument to oust power from former President Goodluck Jonathan and install the incumbent.”
“We are amazed at how someone who couldn’t remove a spark of dust in his eyelashes could see the remedy for the log of wood in the eyes of Ndigbo”.
“Rhetorically, Wamakko’s assertion that Igbo leaders are behind the scenes motivating the violence in the southeast, exposed the northern secrets of supporting bandits and Boko Haram for economic and political reasons .The silence of Igbo leaders are Golden and will generate confusion in the camps of sponsors of terror in the Southeast.”
