Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, has urged Biafra agitators to uphold a 40-day ceasefire. Ohanaeze said the ceasefire is aimed at securing the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The Factional Secretary General of Ohanaeze, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said the ceasefire should start from October 31. In a statement he signed, Isiguzoro said there are ongoing talks behind the scenes on the possibility of Kanu's release. According to Isiguzoro: 'To facilitate progress in this matter, Ohanaeze Ndigbo urges Biafra agitators to uphold a ceasefire for a period of 40 days, refraining from any offensive aggression starting from October 31, 2023.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo reminds Ndigbo of our Igbo idiom, 'Every soup has a peculiar way of licking it,' emphasising the importance of engaging with relevant authorities through diplomatic channels as the most effective means of achieving the desired results. 'We implore Ndigbo to exercise patience during this challenging time. We acknowledge the pain and hardships endured by the people of the Southeast since the incarceration of Nnamdi Kanu.
