We have forgiven Nnamdi Kanu – Ohanaeze

Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, OYC, has forgiven Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

OYC forgave Kanu while accepting his unreserved apologies.

The group described Kanu’s apology as a welcome development.

The IPOB leader had apologised during his interview with veteran Journalist, Dele Momodu, on Thursday evening.

However, OYC, in a statement signed by Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, its Secretary General commended “Kanu for heeding to the advice of its (OYC) leadership to immediately tender his unreserved apologies to Ndigbo.”

OYC said “it’s unimaginable and taboo for anyone to speak for Igbo without proper consultative approvals from Igbo stakeholders. Ipob were gradually losing relevance after their failed protests and needs to change tactical direction.”

The Igbo apex youth organisation believes that “Yoruba politicians and Northeast presidential aspirant through their Selfishness are manipulating IPOB activities indirectly for 2023.”

According to the group, this is to “Scuttle Igbo presidency project” warning that “It should stop henceforth, Nnamdi Kanu should learn from history especially Awolowo’s betrayal against Igbo legend, Dimm Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu in 1967.”

OYC said it “wishes to inform Nnamdi Kanu, that his sins have been forgiven by Igbo Youth leadership led by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, he should,” adding that he should “go and sin no more.”
