Biafra: Forget it, Igbos won’t separate from Nigeria – Ohanaeze tells Nnamdi Kanu

Leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been advised to bury his ambition of leading Igbos away from Nigeria.

This advice was handed down to the IPOB leader by the new President Genera of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Professor George Obiozor has

Prof Obiozor, who said this during a World Press Conference, tagged “Ohanaeze Ndigbo: The Dawn of a New Era” at Ohaneze Ndigbo Secretariat in Enugu on Wednesday, appealed to the IPOB leader to drop his ambition of calling for a separate state.

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

“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 former Nigerian Ambassador to the USA, however, declared the need to be assertive and positive minded saying “it is time for reality.”

He said: “The game is over for pretenders, imposters. We must be assertive, free and positive. Igbos don’t want beggarly leadership. Enough of the nonsense; the dilemma has finally come to an end”
