Stay away from Ohanaeze issues - Youth Council cautions Uchenna Madu-led MASSOB

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide has warned the Uchenna Madu-led Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, to steer clear of the activities concerning the Ohanaeze leadership in general and Lagos State in particular.

Ohanaeze youths spoke in reaction to a statement by the Madu-led MASSOB wherein it endorsed Chief Senator John Azuta Mbata as President General of Ohanaeze, and Chief Solomon Ogbonna Aguene, President of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Lagos State.

However, in a statement made available to journalists on Monday, the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike said it was strange for MASSOB under Madu to abandon its agitation for Biafra to now dictate who is authentic Ohanaeze President-General.

While accusing Madu of doing the work of his pay masters, he urged the members of the public to ignore baseless claims from “such a factional leader of MASSOB”.

Okwu declared that “Solomon Aguene is not President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos. His tenure expired long time ago and his endorsement by a factional leadership of MASSOB led by Uchenna Madu cannot change it.

“We are well aware that the endorsement statement was procured in a desperate bid to procure legitimacy but it is dead on arrival.”

The Ohanaeze youths warned the factional MASSOB and their likes to “stay off Ohanaeze activities and face their agitation. If they are tired, they should find something else, and not resort to turning Ohanaeze leadership into a business venture.

“Ndigbo Lagos cannot be cowed with an acclaimed consent judgement of a greedy man who wants to perpetually remain the president of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos.

“You continually enforce yourself on the people even when it is clear that you are no longer needed.

“He pleaded with late Prof George Obiozor for recognition, it failed; he pleaded with late Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, it failed; now he wants to force himself on Mbata with a purchased endorsement by a faction of MASSOB.”

“We are very much aware of those working with enemies of Ndigbo in Lagos to curry favour; at the appropriate time, we shall expose them,” Okwu vowed.

He restated that Chief Jackson Omenazu remains the authentic President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, warning that they would not sit by and watch the imposition of a stranger on Ndigbo as their leader.
