The leadership of the apex Igbo
socio-political organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo and the Indigenous People of
Biafra, IPOB, have reconciled their differences.
A peace meeting was brokered
between the two bodies by the Chairman of the Igbo Leaders of Thought, ILT,
Prof. Ben Nwabueze, SAN.
The reconciliation means that the
IPOB had stopped all forms of verbal attacks on the Igbo leaders.
The Deputy Leader of IPOB, Mazi
Uche Mefor made this know in a statement made available to reporters in Enugu,
Saturday.
The statement reads, “Following
an important meeting with some respectable Igbo elders, the representatives of
IPOB and leadership of Ohaneze Ndigbo earlier today July 6, 2017 in Enugu,
under the distinguished chairmanship of the very
eminent Prof. Ben Nwabueze; IPOB
High Command hereby mandate that all forms of verbal attacks and name calling
on all media platforms against Ohaneze Ndigbo seize with immediate effect.
“No IPOB family member should
disparage Ohaneze Ndigbo or its leadership until further notice.
“This is strictly to give room
for a number of representations and demands made by IPOB, to those present at
the meeting to be given due attention within the shortest possible time-frame,
under an atmosphere devoid of
rancour.
“The meeting stressed among other
things the need for our people, who are presently under siege in parts of Enugu
State, to recognise the urgency and need to synergise and constitute a common
front against all forms of threats to our existence as a people.
“Should this gesture by IPOB, in
the face of well documented betrayal and blackmail by the political class be
taken for granted, IPOB shall have no option but to stand in the gap to defend
the aspirations and collective will of the people of Biafra against every
enemy.
“IPOB, as the most potent and
largest freedom fighting outfit on earth, remains focused, determined and
resolute. Our unalloyed commitment to a referendum in pursuit of our
emancipation remain sacrosanct and insurmountable.”
