Amidst the current economic hardship and ongoing protest in the country, Ohaneze Ndigbo has warned Igbos against joining protests to express their displeasure over the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
This was made known in a statement signed by the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, titled “Message to all Igbos worldwide”.
The group noted that Igbos have been victimised over the failure of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to win in Lagos and Abuja during the last election, and there is a conspiracy to ‘cripple Igbo business enterprise in Lagos, Abuja and other parts of Nigeria.’
Ohaneze Ndigbo also stated that the Southeast had been marginalised in all ramifications, adding that Igbo youths, when involved in the protest, could get arrested, incarcerated and even charged with serious offences.
