Press Release

Mocks Yerima Shettima, Boko Haram Shekau stance on Northern agenda against igbos…. threats makes igbos Stronger.

OYC

1. Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide had directed all Igbos to be vigilant and put up the resilient Spirit in the face of provocative threats, coming from the three fronts of the Northern Mercenaries carrying out ethnic cleansing against igbos in the face of coronavirus Pandemic deadly disease.

The Northern Elders had Mobilized the Government Machinery through Minister for Humanitarian affairs, disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Farouk , the Youth arm of Arewa Consultative Forum and the terrorists wing of the North Boko Haram, to mount Provocative Media onslaught and threats against the existence and Survival of igbos during and after the Covid 19 pandemic.

OYC accused a former Northern Military officer for being the theater( anti Igbo) Commander co coordinating these  pawns to execute these hostilities and rogue assignments against igbos, this is a wake up call for President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration to halt these rogue collaboration against igbos in the face of battle against coronavirus.

(2) OYC Condemned vehemently the vituprative rethorics of Minister Sadiya Farouk, saying “Igbos and people in the South, should not expect any money from Federal Government to cushion effects of the coronavirus, since igbos want biafra”,

Igbo Youths demand for outright Sack or resignation and  arrest of Minister Farouk for contravening the oath of office she took to uphold the collective interests of Nigerians over nepotistic attitude and sectionalism, by denying Igbos their  legitimate rights to benefit from the palliative care and stimulus Packages of Federal Government, she is no longer fit to be a Minister, and the only way to assuage her provocative action meant to assault the sensibility of igbos that they are no longer Nigerians, is for Presidency to relieve her of her duties, in other to  exonerate Federal Government of her unpatriotic and nepotistic attitude capable of truncating Our Democracy and which remain  a threat to the Unity of Nigeria.

(3) OYC mock the leader of Boko Haram terrorists Abubakar Shekau, that an attempt to attack South East after coronavirus pandemic is over, will lead to his capture, We call on Igbos sharing boundaries with Benue,Taraba and kogi States to be vigilant especially in the early hours of the day, any attempt to attack South East will resurrect the unquenchable spirit of igbos to protect themselves, the Dynamics of Igbo Resistance against external aggressions had changed from the 1966 approach, We Urge Arewa Youths President Yerima Shettima to rescind in making statements against igbos, it’s a hate speech to say” let’s see how igbos will survive now some South East States had lockdown, boasting that food sufficiency in the North will not be extended to East” is a Ruse, and highly condemn-able.

If igbos survived the Awo’s Economic policy between 1967-1970, we will surely survive the coronavirus pandemic lockdown, Igbo Philanthropists and political leaders should enrol palliative care and stimulus Packages for igbos, OYC through her Diaspora Chapters had taken the lead with stimulus Packages of 20million Naira for igbos trapped in the North.
