In a statement, the National President General, Comrade Igboayaka O Igboayaka, said the South-East tribe is beginning to let the lessons of history on national politics form the basis for its actions.
He said, “The Nationwide protest tagged ” Days of Rage” has shown the capacity of Ndigbo with deep Unity. Ndigbo is becoming wise with deep sense of history as regards national politics. From time immemorial all the effort Ndigbo made to make Nigeria work was misinterpreted or seen as an antagonism to the non-existing Nigeria unity championed by the West and Northern Nigeria. Ndigbo has always been antagonized in Nigeria for any slightest move.
“Any Political step of Ndigbo looks suspicious to those cohabiting with the Igbos. Ndigbo are the most suspected tribe in Nigeria. Yet those who are suspecting and not comfortable with Ndigbo have not joined the call for Referendum in Nigeria or support Ndigbo to secede. No tribe have cried or lamented for Ndigbo apart from 2024 “Hunger Protest” when they remember to cry and lament why Igbos are not joining the protest, but Ndigbo has been protesting, marginalized, maimed, killed and with the worst part of justice, while other tribes stand in akimbo and watch. Unfortunately today, they are lamenting because Ndigbo shunned Nationwide protest.”
“For those who care to know, the silence of Ndigbo on the ongoing Nationwide protest is also a protest; just that we chose the best wise way to protest.”
He advised Igbos living outside Alaigbo (Igboland) who might be tempted to join the protest to have a rethink, alleging that “because the chances of the person being a sacrificial lamb is 100% guaranteed.”
He called on President Bola Tinubu to ensure the adequate protection of the lives and properties of Ndigbo living outside Alaigbo.
