THE newly elected leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in Anambra State has resolved to work with the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, to get an unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of IPOB.
Damian Okeke-Ogene, president of Ohaneze Anambra State, who made this known to newsmen in Awka on January 17, also said that Biafra is for justice, fairness and equity.
Okeke-Ogene said that the struggle for the actualisation of Biafra was not an issue of violence, but a matter of the brain, which he enjoined pro-Biafra groups to embrace.
Stating that the pan-Igbo cultural group will work with similar bodies in other geo-political zones of the country, he added that Ohaneze will reach out to churches and market leaders to restore the dignity of the Igbo race and in so doing, reduce tension across the country.
“We are no longer prepared to lose any lives in the name of the struggle. Ohanaeze Ndigbo will, among other things, reach out to law enforcement agencies and minimise conflicts between them and the people, especially with regard to extortion at the check points. We also intend to empanel a legal team of volunteers to take care of injustices against Igbo and will also assemble medical experts to take care of emergency situations,” he said.
