RUGA: Ohanaeze Youths Flay PDP BoT Chairman’s Campaign

By Ayodele Oluwafemi

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide has flayed the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Board of Trustees, BoT Chairman, Walid Jubril over his public declaration that the South East should concede lands for RUGA settlement.

Ohanaeze Youth accused Jubril of trying to use his position to influence PDP to accept the controversial RUGA policy.

The group, in a statement, by its President General, Mazi Okechukwu isiguzoro, renounced the position of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, that South East Governors have secretly allocate lands for RUGA settlement.

It would be recalled that IPOB had earlier claimed that the governors have secretly awarded lands to the Federal Government for the purpose of establishing settlement for Fulani herdsmen.

The statement read in part: “Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide is not partisan and will not dictate how PDP run their affairs, but its an open secret that PDP Bot chairman Senator Walil Jibrin is engaging in anti party activities, and PDP Governors forum should facilitate the machinery to investigate his secret activities and do the needful through recommendation for the suspension of Sen Walid Jubril and relieve him of his position if found guilty based on his anti party activities.

“We want to assure our Biafra agitators that there’s no proof anywhere that the South East Governors have the intention of going contrary to their earlier resolutions adopted in their last Enugu meeting, to donate lands secretly for the Suspended Ruga Settlements in the South East.

“Irrespective of that, we are calling on the south east Governors to ensure they are not instigating uproar and civil disobedience through mingling into the affairs of self determination of Biafra agitators. We should avoid anything that will bring declaration of state of emergency in any State in the South East.

“We urge South-East Governors to allow the sleeping dog to rest, there’s no gain in using confrontation through State machinery against Biafra agitators, and plead on agitators to eschew violence and maintain a non violent posture of Biafra agitation.”
