Dear fellow Nigerians
We, the Igbo people, wish to address a pressing matter of great concern. Recently, a certain individual named Amaka Patience Sunnbeger , has been spreading harmful rhetoric, calling for violence against the Edo people and the Yorubas. We categorically disclaim and condemn these divisive and dangerous statements. 1. The said Amaka Patience Sunnbeger is a pseudonym , a fake name with a fake picture and a fake accent. 2. The author of the offensive melodrama is not an Igbo person . The Igbo syntax is missing . 3. This is a continuation of the script against Igbo people. 4. Till today, the ubiquitous security network has played deaf and dumb to the manifestation of disinformation and misinformation against Igbo people. 5. The Igbo, Edo and Yoruba people cannot be deceived by the agents of darkness. 6.  Today Nigerians have contested for positions and unmolested in various parts of the world. Nobody raised the issue of tribalism and racism !! We want to assure the good people of Edo state and the Yorubas that we, the Igbo people, harbor no ill will towards them. We believe in the values of peace, unity, and mutual respect. We will not be swayed by those who seek to sow discord and chaos among our communities. It has become clear that this is a ploy by the gang to pitch ethnic groups against each other, particularly in the lead-up to the upcoming elections in Edo state. We have witnessed several groups calling for attacks on the peace-loving Igbo people of Nigeria, whose only focus is to work and live peacefully in the country. We believe that this deception is aimed at causing confusion and destabilization in the electoral process. We urge those involved in this deception to desist from further insulting the intelligence of our people and to cease their attempts to divide us. We call on all Nigerians to stand together against hate and division. Let us choose the path of understanding, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence. Let us work towards a united and prosperous Nigeria, where every citizen can live without fear of violence or persecution.
