Ohaneze Youth Council Throws Weight Behind IPOB, Calls For UN Supervised Referendum




OCOUNCIL (OYC) COMMENDS IPOB, CALLS FOR A UNITED NATIONS- SUPERVISED REFERENDUM. SAYS IT IS A DEMOCRATIC CALL


The Ohaneze Youth Council, OYC; a front line Igbo youth socio-cultural organization has lend their voice in the widespread call for a United Nations Supervised Referendum for Nigeria while describing the call as a democratic call and a way forward for the country. Addressing the news men over the weekend in Owerri, State capital of Imo, the President of the Council Comrade Igboayaka O Igboayaka maintained that it’s within the tenet of democracy for a people to pursue for self-determination.

The dogged youth organization said it is in full support of any democractic move to dissect the numerous issues surrounding the make up of Nigeria federation.

Going by the type of body legally qualified to call for a referendum as the legal basis for such a thorough course requires, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), MASSOB, Lower Niger Congress (LNC), Biafra National (BNC), Eastern People’s Congress (EPC), Movement of Biafrans in Nigeria (MOBIN) qualifies to call for a restructural referendum having housed a good number of views of the Igbo Nation in a struggle for a fair share in the Nigerian federation against the clear marginalization of the Igbo race evidenced in lopsided federal key appointments especially the service chiefs.

The call for United Nations to play a coordinating and supervisory role in the IPOB, The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Lower Niger Congress and other Pro-Biafran group’s proposed Referendum is a right step in the right direction geared towards ensuring fundamental human rights especially freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and freedom of association in The whole process.


Just like an independence referendum was held in Eritrea between 23 and 25 April 1993 with a result of 99.83% in favour, as well as a 98.5% turnout, the Indigenous People of Biafra call for a UN -supervised referendum will afford Nigerians the opportunity to air their views and bare their minds in the voting process to decide the future of the country as well as the citizenry.

agitations, proscription and overheating the polity after the devasting Nigeria civil war proved abortive to ending the outcry of Ndigbo for a restructured Nigeria.

Charles Odunukwe, a potential Leader.

O bu onye si n’igbo enwenyi mmadu? What do we really mean when we say one is a Philanthropist?   Charles Odunukwe, Foundation and Chairman Chardon Foundation and the Vice President-General Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Worldwide. These outlined questions form the basis of the following article that puts you on the know of a less perceived strong smell of a genius who has crossed and dotted his Ts and Is respectively in the events of human development and economic empowerment. One can attest to the fact that one of the factors that propagate a person with goodwill is Benevolence. Which in terms of human relation, charitable kindness, altruistic gifts, little wonder the saying that it does not matter how long one lives on earth rather what matters is the achievement he or she had instituted before going the way of all flesh and mortals.
