The Traditional Prime Minister of Ndigbo (Onowu Ndigbo) Chief Michael
Ozua Okoye has advised the splinter groups from Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB) and Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of
Biafra (MASSOB) to unite in order for them to actualize the dream of the
birth of Biafra.
According to him, there was no need for any pro-Biafra group to come
up and claim to have sacked the leader of IPOB Mr. Nnamdi Kanu who has
been in detention for committing no crime even after two courts had
granted him bail, saying that it was a betrayal of the struggle.
Speaking with news during the weekend, Okoye said, “It is greed that
caused the splinter groups of IPOB or MASSOB. The new groups want to get
rich quick; they are saboteurs who betrayed their brothers due to
money. How can another group come out to say that they have sacked
Nnamdi Kanu who has been in detention for some time now, when all the
Igbo people are calling for his release after courts granted him bail?
“It happened during the war, some people betrayed Biafra because of
greed. We lost the civil war due to saboteurs in our camp. These people
were hired to cause disaffection among the groups. I want to caution
Igbos on the quest for money and that they should take it easy to
achieve our aims, we should be happy with what we have, than to look for
more, it is greed,” he fumed.
On the herdsmen menace in the South-east, Chief Okoye said: “Buhari
should help us to talk to the cattle rearers. They are killing our
people for no just cause. There was rearing of cows during Jonathan,
Obasanjo and even during military administrations, but it was not like
this. Why should the herdsmen be above the law? They are carrying Ak47
openly and nothing happens, and Buhari should look into it and caution
them.”
