Sit-At-Home: Fulani Is Not Our Problem, Igbo Group Hits Southeast Governors

An Igbo group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo General Assembly has upbraided Southeast governors to prove that they are in charge of the region saying that the obedience of the people to the sit-at-home orders of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has diminished them.

Ambassador  Tony Chiemelu Obizoba, Director General, Strategic Planning and Implementations, of the group made the assertion in a statement made available to  GreenWhiteGreen GWG by its media consultant, Prince Bashir Adefaka.

Affirming that the people can no longer blame the Hausa Fulani for their problems, they said that it was an irony that it was during the presidency of an Hausa Fulani that many abandoned infrastructure projects in the region were revived.

The group cited the Second Niger Bridge among others.

“Some people claim they are fighting for the emancipation of Igbo Land due to what they claim to be lack of development. Under President Muhammadu Buhari, the odds of the past have started coming to even.  We have seen elements of development. We have seen roads that were, in actual fact, neglected under politicians that claimed to be our own sons now being fixed.

“We have seen the Second Niger Bridge, upgraded Enugu International Airport and have seen completed modular and groundbreaking of full fledge refineries brought to the region just like we also have the South East state of Anambra now enlisted as one of oil producing states now accessing the 13 percent derivation and other benefits that are expected to improve the lives of our people.

“We should throw sentiments and self deceit to the bin and allow the common sense in us to lead our way for us to access better life. We once witnessed in recent past when this Federal Government kickstarted the construction of Second Niger Bridge and our own Igbo youths went and blocked the contractors demanding for N500 million before they could allow the development of their own region take place. Same done to contractors upgrading the Enugu Airport. And we have the same people now claimed that they are doing SIT-AT-HOME for the liberation of their land. Which land?

“Again, because of SIT-AT-HOME order of these group, many souls of Igbo people have been destroyed due to blind killer spray that has taken place in the name of implementation of this said order. Travelers coming from other regions of the country to the South East region have had their vehicles set on fire and also got killed. They are fellow Igbo people. What is their offence? Our own children was chased out from exam hall and their motorbikes were destroyed. What is the other characteristic of terrorism if not this?

“Funny enough, they fail to extend their SIT-AT-HOME order to Igbo doing businesses in other region in solidarity with their cause. They should have also enforced it on Igbo in Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, Sokoto and other parts to show they really care.

“For how long will governors of South East continue to remain in this conspiracy of silence and allow this group reign to the detriment of the land and the people?  What has happened now by their attitude is nothing more than two governments now running the affair of each state of the South East.”
