Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide (ONYCW), a Socio-Cultural group on Tuesday 27th August, 2019 warns their kinsmen of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) who are planning to attack President Muhammadu Buhari in Japan to have a re-think, noting that, if they do so, Ndigbo would be seen by other nationals as a terrorist group.
According to Mazi Okechukwu isiguzoro, President General of ONYCW, who made the appeal in a statement circulated to newsmen.
He harped on the call by the leader of the Proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who on Sunday, 25th August 2019 charges his members residing in Japan to attack and humiliate President Buhari.
While condemning the call by Kanu, ONYCW called on Igbo planning the violent Protest in Japan for the arrest of President Muhammadu Buhari to put off such senseless plot as it endangers the lives and properties of Igbos living in the 19 Northern States of Nigeria.
The group also adverted their attention to the risk of being jailed or deported from Japan and that, anything else that happens to Buhari will certainly put Igbo people in danger.
Most of those sponsoring the planned attack to humiliate Buhari, do not have any investment in Nigeria particularly the South East.
ONYCW Prays for IPOB leaders to repent and stop jeopardizing the peaceful atmosphere being experienced in the South East since the War ended in 1970.
Adding that attacking President Muhammadu Buhari (PMB) in Japan is not an achievement, but will portray Igbo before the international community as terrorists.
They advised IPOB not to worsen the situation by introducing violent Protest which will affect Igbos and their business interest in the north.
