THE apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has warned the Federal Government against deploying the Military to the South-East zone.
The Group warned that the Igbos were emergency experts, noting that any infiltration of the Igbo defensive mechanism might spell doom for Nigeria.
Ohanaeze linked the plot to deploy the military as an ‘army of occupation’ to the alleged design to deny the South-East Presidency in 2023.
These positions were contained in a statement signed by the Secretary-General of the Chidi Obeh faction of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Okechukwu Isiguzoro.
The Group claimed that its suspicions were reinforced by evidence of serial attacks and violence perpetrated in the South-East zone by unknown gunmen, noting also that there was an influx of northern bandits causing violent attacks in the South-East and South-South for political reasons.
“Military must focus on the insurgency in the North and refuse to fight at all fronts at the same time. Ndigbo are emergency experts and any infiltration in the process of Igbo defensive mechanism might spell doom for Nigeria,” the Group said.
“Ndigbo don’t need military deployment. There are high level manipulations to destabilise and destroy our region for political purposes and deny Ndigbo, Presidency in 2023,” it added.
