Bishop Chris Udeh says the time is
ripe for the actualization of the Biafra dream - Udeh says the Arewa quit
notice to Igbos in the north, is a good sign - The clerics says Igbos must shun
groups that urge them to seek after presidency Bishop Abraham Chris Udeh, the
General Overseer of Mount Zion Faith Global Liberation Ministries, has told
Igbos to use the quit notice by youths in the North to work harder towards the
actualisation of Biafra, stressing that it is now or never. Bishop Udeh stated
that the Republic of Biafra can be achieved now if all Igbos home and abroad
unite as they have been subtly warned, through the ultimatum, to leave Nigeria.
Recall that it was Bishop Udeh who said in January that God is angry over the
continuous incarceration of leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB,
Nnamdi Kanu. READ ALSO: BREAKING: Three feared dead as violence erupts in
Taraba The Bishop warned that the continued stay of Nnamdi Kanu in prison,
could lead to drawing the wrath of God upon Nigeria. Vanguard reports that Rev
Udeh faulted the continued detention of the leader of Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB), saying he had a revelation that God is angry about that. He said
he did not see anything wrong in Kanu fighting for his freedom and that of his
people, who are agitating for the restoration of Biafran nation. Reacting to
the quit notice, Udeh said that the Igbos would be blamed by the international
community, if the opportunity offered by the quit notice was not fully
utilized.
Biafra agitation: "No agreement
between the Hausa and Igbo will hold" - Bishop Udeh Bishop Udey says Biafra
actualization is now or never The cleric wondered why Ohaneze Ndigbo and some
sections of the Igbo were still talking about Igbo presidency and restructuring
“already overtaken by events”. His words: “My worry is only Igbo hypocrisy.
There is no oneness and unity of purpose amongst the Igbo. There are still
discordant tunes; otherwise, why should some people be talking about
restructuring and Igbo presidency instead of rallying round Nnamdi Kanu to use
this opportunity to actualize Biafra. “That is the problem we have. Anybody
talking about restructuring or Igbo presidency now is a coward. “No agreement
between the Hausa and Igbo will hold. What about the Aburi Accord. Did it
stand? All we want is an independent State of Biafra. No more, no less! Anybody
saying a different thing is on his own.” He admonished the Igbo not to forget
what happened to their relatives in the North in 1967, saying they should
return to their home states immediately. Meanwhile, Acting President Yemi
Osinbajo has warned that persons agitating for secession and the northern
groups that issued ultimatum to Igbos risked jail terms as they violated
Nigeria’s laws. Osinbajo gave the warning at a consultative meeting with
traditional rulers from the South-East at the Presidential Banquet Hall, Abuja,
on Sunday. He said that the manner of the agitations, method and objective were
wrong, unlawful and clearly violated the nation’s Constitution. He said: “I
want to repeat that both the agitations for secession and the ultimatum to
leave the northern states are wrong and a violation of our Constitution. “Our Constitution says in Section 2 that Nigeria is one indivisible
and indissoluble sovereign state to be known by the name 'The Federal Republic
of Nigeria’," Osinbajo said. “That is the law of our country. Let us not
be in any doubt about the fact that the Federal Government is committed to
ensuring that our country remains united. “And, anyone who violates the law in
the manner such as we are seeing all over the place will be met with the full
force of the law. “The reason why it is so is because for Nigeria’s unity,
enough blood has been spilled and many hundreds of thousands of lives have been
lost.
