President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-political organisation, Nnia Nwodo, has charged the people of the South-East to be ready to defend themselves from those he called “Northern war mongers”.
Nwodo gave the call while reacting to the 30-day ultimatum by a Coalition of Northern Groups, CNGs, to southern governors opposed to the Ruga settlement programme to reconsider their decision.
While warning that threats would no longer be tolerated, Nwodo described the action of the coalition as “irresponsible and treasonable”.
In a statement he personally signed, the Ohanaeze leader maintained that Ruga farm settlement was a violation of the country’s constitution.
According to him: “My attention has been drawn to a broadcast by Abdul Azeez Suleman, speaking for a coalition of Northern Groups in which he had the audacity to give the Federal Government an ultimatum of 30 days to rescind its decision on the suspension of its RUGA settlements policy.
“This irresponsible, unlawful and provocative outburst reminds me of the quit notice from Northern Youths two years ago.
“Ohanaeze insists that the RUGA policy is an Islamization and a Fulanisation policy; it is a violation of our constitution and Supreme court decisions on the Land Use Act. Its suspension without cancellation leaves the Federal Government still in violation of our laws.
“The threat to evict law abiding Nigerians from their places of abode in Northern Nigeria is treasonable and obviously like the gun trotting herdsmen will go unnoticed by our Federally controlled law enforcement agencies…
“I call on all Igbo to be ready to defend themselves. Enough of these threats!”
Nwodo pointed out that Igbo residing in the North have no objection to leaving the region as long the Northerners based in the South-East would also relocate.
He stressed that by so doing, we would have “dismantled the federal structure imposed on us by the military and return to autonomous federating units”.
“Let Abdul, the federal government and others like them take notice that Ohanaeze has no objections to all Igbos in the North returning home so long as all Northerners in the east leave the east.
“The nepotism exhibited by this federal government, her duplicity of standards in law enforcement, her undisguised Fulanisation policy is repugnant to rule of law and good governance.
“We will no longer tolerate any further threats from these northern war mongers. After all, who should be aggrieved under the circumstance? The South that is bearing the yoke of oppression from cattle herders are trying their best to coexist with their aggressors, yet it is the aggressors that are threatening further mayhem. This cannot be,” he added.
