The Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide has expressed disatisfaction over the reported threat against Ndigbo in Lagos and other South-West states.
Social media has been agog with reported calls on social media, trending under the hashtag #IgboMustGo on X, demanding the forced relocation of Igbo people from Lagos and other South-West states.
Recall that former Vice President of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has reacted to the threat, declaring that it was not only divisive but also endangered peace and security.
Meanwhile, in a statement made available to newsmen on Thursday night, the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike cautioned that any attack on Ndigbo in any part of the country would come with consequences.
Southeastposts.com, reports that Okwu, in the statement titled ‘Enough is Enough’, vowed that Ndigbo would follow up with commensurate reaction should there be any attack on them in any part of the country.
He stated that the people of the South-East geo-political zone have kept mute for so long, adding that this has caused endless unprovoked attacks on Igbo people in other parts of the country.
The statement reads in part, “We want to equivocally declare today that Ndigbo are not cowards; our forefathers were not cowards; they were brave and so are we.
“We warn those fanning this embers of discord not to take the calmness of the lion for weakness; we are not afraid and shouldn’t be pushed to the wall by faceless miscreants.
He went further, “Any attack on Ndigbo by anybody will be visited with an unimaginable revenge. We are not second class citizens of this country. No one is more Nigerian than the Igbos.
Okwu reiterated his call on Ndigbo not to participate in the ongoing protest, maintaining his earlier stand that President Bola Tinubu government was on the right track and should be given more time.
