“We should forget Biafra and insist on restructuring–Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo

The president general of the Igbo socio-cultural groups, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, at the third inauguration of the state and local government executives committees of the Abia state chapter of , said the restructuring of the polity is and remains the position of Ndigbo in the ongoing debate about the future of the country.

The group’s position counters the demand for independence canvassed by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The group, led by Nnamdi Kanu, has urged the federal government to convene a referendum that would give birth to Biafra, for the South East and some parts of the South South regions of the country.

But, Mr. Nwodo insisted that Biafra is a tall order, given constitutional roadblocks in this dispensation.
“We should forget Biafra and insist on restructuring; there is no Igbo person that is happy with the situation of things in Nigeria, we must seek for peaceful ways of resolving the issues,” he said.
He said while the youth are justified in expressing their anger at the way Igbo are being “marginalized” in national affairs, they should moderate their actions and words.
