The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide has expressed its support for the efforts of the Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah to end the sit-at-home menace effective, Monday 5th June.
This is following the directive by the Enugu State Governor to all government parastatals, businesses, and educational institutions to abolish the sit-at-home and resume activities across the State today, Monday, June 5, 2023.
The National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, in a statement on Sunday night, condemned the attempts by people it described as infiltrators into the Biafra agitation to destroy Igbo land.
It reads: “Now that the Governor of Enugu State has again made an appeal for the sit-at-home to end, in the collective interest of the people, our passionate appeal to all the agitators, the IPOB, the MASSOB, the Author Pilot, the Zionists and a host of others, is that they should sheath their sword and allow normalcy to return.
“We cannot continue to allow that which has gravely hurt and destroyed Igbo lives, economy, and image to fester. This is certainly not what Biafra stands for.
“We have been making demands for the unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and it will not end; we are not going to relent until the federal government does the needful. But we should not destroy our land in the process.
“All the leaderships of the various Biafra agitators should, therefore, align themselves with the decision of the Government of Enugu State; they should not maintain grave silence, but appeal to their followers not to do anything that would further put the lives of our people in jeopardy.
“The Governor’s statement is clearly an appeal and all lovers of Igbo land should see reasons with him.
“This will further prove that the government is pro-masses and is committed to the welfare and safety of the people,” he said.
