You Lied, Obiozor Initiated Moves To Secure Nnamdi Kanu’s Release – Ohanaeze lambasts Umahi

The Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), has chastised Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State for claiming to have met with President Muhammadu Buhari to work out a political solution for the liberation of Nnamdi Kanu, the incarcerated leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB)..


Umahi made the claims in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State, purporting to have opened a political dialogue with President Muhammadu Buhari in order to secure Nnamdi Kanu’s discharge from DSS custody.

But, in a press statement on Friday, the Ohanaeze Youth Council, led by National President Igboayaka O. Igboayaka, advised Governor Umahi to stop propagating untruth and deceiving the public.

OYC said: “Governor David Umahi might be looking for a soft landing to appeal to Ndigbo and IPOB over reckless treatment coated with executive impunity as Ebonyi State Governor. And coming out suddenly to score a cheap political goal in the release of Nnamdi Kanu is very untrue and childish.


“Those at the helm of affairs of a political solution to Nnamdi Kanu’s case have not taken it to the media space, they are engaging in a lasting solution to the crisis that has erupted in the country for over seven years of IPOB’s struggle for self-determination. Unfortunately, on June 19, 2021, in Enugu State, the same Governor David Umahi chaired a meeting wherein IPOB was publicly rejected by those who claimed to be Igbo leaders.

“Governor David Umahi ought to know that all his discriminatory communique signed by him against Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB are in our archive and in the book of remembrance. The claim by Ebonyi Governor of interfacing to release of Nnamdi Kanu at Abakaliki on Tuesday, March 1, 2022, has summarized the Igbo adage, “Nwoke luchaa ogu, nwanyi enwere akuko”. Therefore, Umahi should look for something else through which he can gain favour from Ndigbo and not to lay claims to glory of Kanu’s release process”, OYC posited.

The Igbo socio-cultural umbrella insisted that Professor George Obiozor deserved all accolades as could emanate from the ongoing processes of releasing the freedom agitator.

“I can authentically and authoritatively inform our people that every strategic and tactical effort has been made on the release of Nnamdi Kanu by Obiozor without any political interest but basically on his personal conviction as a true Igbo man and his constitutional duty as the numberone citizen of the Igbo nation”, OYC added.
