The apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has criticised President Muhammadu Buhari over his call on the United States, the United Kingdom and other members of the international community to declare the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, as a terrorist group.
Ohanaeze simplified the demand of IPOB which is “Treat us as partners in the Nigerian project or allow us to go.” The group also faulted lopsided appointments in most of the military and paramilitary agencies in the country which are not favourable to South-East region.
All these are disclosed in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze, Dr Alex Ogbonnia on Wednesday.
It also lamented the fresh massacre in Benue State where 16 residents were allegedly murdered in cold blood by marauding Fulani herders, adding that Buhari should channel his energy on these killers rather than focusing on how to label IPOB a terrorist group.
