OHANEZE PRESIDENT LIED AGAINST US-IPOB.

“Nwodo’s comments were lies designed to blackmail and paint us as violent, disrespectful and unintelligent 
bunch of ingrates and is only an arm of the war declared on us by the Federal Government of Nigeria, using 
resources earned from the oil coming out of the sacred land of Biafra.” The secessionist group gave reasons
it parted way with the Ohanaeze leader, Chief Nwodo. It said: “When our leader visited Chief Nwodo at his 
Enugu residence on a courtesy call, 

Nwodo deliberately arranged a top American official of the U.S Embassy to appear and confirm the presence 
of our leader a his residence. “We were shocked, disappointed and let down at the fact that he could not resist
the temptation to trade with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s visit to his residenc “When we paralysed Biafraland on May 
30 and the oppressor panicked and responded with a quit notice, the Federal Government immediately

with Nigeria. “This is a blatant lie because our leader agreed with Nwodo that Nigeria must show commitment 
towards addressing our key demand, which is referendum.

“Nwodo did not inform our leader that a meeting was scheduled with Osinbajo despite the fact that IPOB 
agitation was what led to the meeting being convened in the first place. “Nwodo did not ask for our input 
or grouse with Nigeria before going to demand a few ministerial appointments for his friends at the expense
of our freedom as a people. ‘Insults on our leader’ “When the Presidency, without provocation, launched into 
a tirade of hate speech against our leader by calling him a tout, a nonentity and a scoundrel, who is not 
regarded as a leader and therefore was not and will never be invited to any meeting at Aso Rock, Nwodo 
and his local cabal rejoiced. “Nwodo went to Anambra State House of Assemble to disparage our leader 
for demanding that the hopelessly oppressed people of Eastern Nigeria, most especially Anambra State, 
would henceforth embark on civil disobedience and passive resistance, which includes election boycott.

“Nwodo, like everybody else, knows that crowd that attend IPOB rallies and events number in their
millions, yet till date, no single incident of violence has ever been recorded at any of our gatherings. “So 
where does the appellation of a violent group come from? This is a question Nwodo must answer
Everybody knows it for a fact that Nwodo the governors to join the well-orchestrated Arewa persecution 
of IPOB and its leader. “Nwodo held a meeting in Abuja with Presidency officials, where Python Dance 
was planned and approved. He mounted pressure on the governors to proscribe IPOB.”
