The youth wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Ohanaeze Youth Council, OYC, has lambasted the Southeast Governors for disowning the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The governors and leaders on Saturday said they are against agitations for Biafra by IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
In a communique issued after a meeting in Enugu State, the South-East Governors disclosed that they believe in one united Nigeria under a platform of justice, equality of rights, fairness, love, and respect for one another.
Reacting in a statement issued by the Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to OYC National President, Chukwuemeka Chimerue, the group said the governors are blinded by reality.
He noted that “It’s obvious that Southeast governors and stakeholders have lost sense of reality on ground as regards the quest for self-determination by many pro-Biafra groups.

“Let the world understand and know the truth that Southeast governors and stakeholders are the remote cause of any perceived violence by self-determination groups in Igbo land, that is why all the self-determination groups are headed by Ndigbo, this implies that Ndigbo are in lack of credible leaders and denied of justice in Nigeria.
“The groups agitating for independence in Igbo land are not just the wind but a ‘tsunami wind’ that will blow and cause Southeast governors and all the stakeholders in Igbo land to summersault beyond recognition.
