OCHIE Igbo WANTS ARMY TO KEEP OFF FROM SOUTHEAST ZONE
OCHIE Igbo WANTS ARMY TO KEEP OFF FROM SOUTHEAST ZONE
The
attention of Ochie Igbo has been drawn to the pandemonium that broke
out in the entire Southeast on October 11, 2017; over the army medical
outreach.
The chaos this generated was similar to the topsy
turvydom we witnessed during the war. The panic was disturbing. Based on
this, Ochie Igbo wishes to advice the Nigerian Army and Federal
Government as follows;
1, Ndigbo are still in a
mourning mood, occasioned by the daylight massacre of our sons and
daughters on September 10, 2017 in Aba and Umuahia.
2,
There are a lot of people that are still missing, since that episode of
September 10, 2017; we are still conducting a thorough research to find
out the exact number of our people that are missing. Because of our
connection with the other worldly, we are trying all we could to ensure
we have good account of all that died, in the cause of defending
Alaigbo.
3, The sudden disappearance of Nnamdi Kanu is a trauma that we are still grappling with.
4,
Our people are petrified and traumatised by the experience of the past
few weeks. It is bad enough that the FG seems not to care about treating
us as humans, by ensuring a post traumatic therapy - such as dialogue,
interrogation and engagement, to address military highhandedness in
Southeast. It is painful and excruciating that the military has
continued with their Egwu Eke II Dance as a way of celebrating their
conquest of Igboland.
Going forward, it is most disturbing
that the army plans to carry on with their medical outreach in Igboland.
Please, we are a people with a culture. These attempts, in this
mourning period is like a bribe, which we are not willing to take. Lest
we mock the dead. It is on good record that we have been schemed out by
Buhari's administration, in national appointments against the
constitutional provision that recognises federal character. So, why have
we been suddenly remembered for a medical outreach? Southeast is in
total infrastructural decay. Southeast has been technically made non
viable economically. It is quite suspicious that this 'military
benevolence' is not following laid down procedures that should
ordinarily confer legitimacy on the exercise.
There
are lots of court processes that have been filed, by various Igbo
organisations and individuals against the Federal Government, the
Nigerian Army and other security agencies. Therefore, to accept any form
of medical outreach from a group of people that see us as a people will
be foolhardy. This orchestrated insult must stop. Please, we wish to
advise the Federal Government to desist from further tormenting our
people in whatever guise, as this has the potentials to trigger off an
unhealthy reaction that may not be too good for the polity.
It
is in the interest of this country that the Federal Government heed
this advice by ordering the army of occupation to vacate Alaigbo
immediately.
Clearly, what happened yesterday
is a demonstration by the younger generation of Ndigbo, numbering about
10 million pupils - they exhibited their total repugnance and
repudiation to a filthy national army tainted with the blood of non
violent and unarmed men and women that the military killed in cold
blood. Let us not forget that no matter how the Federal Government play
politics with this millennial absurdity, no matter how the Nigerian
military may bask in the euphoria of triumph of over our demand to be
treated as humans, a day will surely and certainly come, like it has
always happened in human history, and they will watch us, with their
guns, as we celebrate our freedom. We remain as resolute as ever, fully
aware that God has made two things as judges of human action; conscience
and history.
