“We Will Retaliate If Igbos Are Attacked In Northern States” -Igbo Youth Group

“We Will Retaliate If Igbos Are Attacked In Northern States”

The umbrella body of Igbo Youths Worldwide, the Ohaneze N’digbo Youths, yesterday warned the 19 Northern Governors to provide security to safeguard the lives and properties of Igbo indigenes resident in their states against threats of electoral violence and attacks during the Presidential elections.
According to the President of the Ohaneze N’digbo Youths, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, although they have asked Igbos in the North to remain calm, any attack on the Igbos in the Northern states will be met with massive reprisal attacks on Northern Indigenes resident in Eastern and South-South states.

Mazi Isiguzoro said that the call for adequate security for Igbo indigenes became necessary due to available security report on plot by some elements to instigate violence against the Igbos, cripple their businesses and take over their homes in the Northern States over their show of support for President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election.
Speaking in Yenagoa during the inauguration of the Bayelsa State Chapter of the Ohaneze N’digbo Youths led by Chief Chinedu Athurchukwu, Mazi Isiguzoro warned the Governor Babangida Aliyu-led Northern Governors Forum to assure the indigenes of the Eastern States of their safety or face mass exodus of Igbos from the Notrhen states.
“Although we have asked the Igbo indigenes in the Northern states to remain calm and stay focused on voting for President Goodluck Jonathan during the Presidential poll, we have uncover plot by some elements in the North to promote tension and cripple the billions of Naira worth of businesses owned by Igbo Indigenes. They planned to take over their businesses too.”
