Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, has said that President Bola Tinubu is not an enemy of Ndigbo, stating that it is why the South-East states boycotted the planned nationwide hunger protests across the country.
This was contained in a press statement issued on Thursday by Ohanaeze’s factional Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, and made available to newsmen.
Ohanaeze said the boycott by the people of the South-East should encourage President Bola Tinubu to listen to the plea of the leaders and other Nigerians to release Nnamdi Kanu from detention.
He said, “We, the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, wish to express our profound gratitude to all Igbos at home and in the diaspora for their unwavering commitment to the decision to boycott the nationwide protests.
“The Southeast region has shown remarkable unity and resilience in standing against external pressures and manipulations aimed at using Igbos as sacrificial lambs for selfish political agendas.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has now realized that the Southeast and Ndigbo are not his enemies, and we urge him to reciprocate this gesture by releasing Nnamdi Kanu and initiating more viable projects for the Southeast. The Southeast remains open to dialogue and cooperation with the federal government for the overall development and prosperity of the nation.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo, urged the people of South-East to remain steadfast and resolute in the face of any pressures or attempts to undermine the unity and progress of the country.
