The counsel to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and human rights activist, Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has advised Ndigbo to ensure that peace is restored in the South-East.
He urged the killers and enablers of violence in Igboland to reflect on their actions and work towards peace in the region.
In a statement obtained by Ikengaonline correspondent in Awka, Ejiofor emphasised that it is a well-known fact that Ndigbo are marginalised in the Nigerian political system. However, he stated that true struggles for the liberation of the oppressed must reject violence, fraud, criminality, and abuse as strategies.
According to him, those still clinging to the baseless December declaration should be assured that December will come and go uneventfully.
“I have always maintained that lies, deceit, fraud, treachery, and criminality have an expiration date. When the truth reaches its breaking point, it is inevitable: Game Over. To those still clinging to the baseless December declaration, rest assured, December will come and go uneventfully,” he stated.
He recalled that in the past, when fantastical claims about fighter jets and warships were peddled as tools for self-aggrandizement by a serial fraudster, he warned those willing to listen that they were being swindled.
“My stance earned me severe criticism, threats, and defamation. But today, where do we stand,” he asked.
Sir Ejiofor urged those who profess to have been deceived by the unrepentant serial fraudster to pause, reflect, and retreat.
“Let us restore peace in our land so the custodians of Igbo heritage can seek ways to appease the gods for the atrocities committed against our people,” he said.
He reiterated that while Ndigbo are deeply marginalised in the Nigerian political system, true struggles for liberation must reject violence, fraud, criminality, and abuse as strategies.
“Freedom can never be won through such means. There’s absolutely no wisdom in cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face. Onye nwere nti, ya nuru. Udo!!!” he added.
