Owerri – The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing Worldwide on Thursday called on the electorate in Imo state to ignore the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, led by Simon Ekpa’s group and that they should come out en-mass and participate in this week Saturday’s Imo governorship election.
He was accompanied by those introduced as Chief Johnbosco Onunkwo, Grand Patron Ohanaeze Ndigbo Ndigbo Worldwide- Youth wing, Comrade Innocent Nduanya Deputy President, National Youth Council of Nigeria, Comrade Chidi Nzekwe, Coordinator, NANS Zone F. According to them, on the said order by Simon Ekpa led pro-Biafra group, that there would be no election in Imo, they rejected it saying: “We call on Ndigbo and Nigerians in South East to ignore the call to sit at home by one Simon Ekpa who reside in Finland, issuing unsolicited directives.
“We humbly appeal to NLC, to reconsider the threat for a National action starting from 14th November 2023, and to sheath their Sword as the innocent Nigerians are at the receiving end. However Justified and Lawful this action might be, we are very much concerned about the adverse effect on our fragile Society and the unhealthy Economy.”
