| Uwazuruike in trouble as 5 POWERFUL pro Biafra groups DISOWN him |
The controversy generated by the quit notice given to the Igbo by Arewa youth groups continued, yesterday, with some Igbo socio-cultural groups, traders, students and church leaders reacting to the meeting between the leader of the Biafra Independence Movement (BIM), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, and former Chief Security Officer, CSO, to the late Head of State, Gen Sani Abacaha, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha. The socio-cultural groups described Uwazuruike’s action as not only “horrifying but nauseating and despicable.”
This was followed by a reaction from the immediate past governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, who advised the coalition of northern groups to suspend their decision, describing the quit notice as frightening and capable of jeopardizing the existing mutual relations between the two ethnic nationalities.
The Igbo groups included Eastern Consultative Assembly, ECA; Igbo Women Assembly, IWA; Igbo Students’ Union, ISU; Igbo Traders Association, ITA; and South East Christian Network, SECN. They asked Uwazuruike “to cover his face in eternal shame,” saying the former MASSOB leader led thousands of Igbo youths to their early graves through agitation for Biafra even as he lived in opulence.
It was disgraceful outing —ECA A statement signed by National Publicity Secretary of ECA, Rev Fr John Odey, stated: “Uwazurike’s very disgraceful outing with Al-Mustapha in Kaduna on Monday, was a public confirmation that Uwazuruike never believed in our people’s freedom. He has been trading with the blood of Igbo youths for two decades. For him, it’s all about money, money and more money. “Nobody is fooled, our people know that the oppressor, whose agent he has always been, funded his trip to Kaduna, because he can do anything for money. “He destroyed himself, when he countered and opposed the May 30 sit- at-home order by Nnamdi Kanu. “Our people unanimously consigned him to the dust bin of history, by complying 100 percent with the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, order, thereby covering Uwazuruike with shame.”
It’ s nauseating— IWA
Also, the Igbo Women Assembly, IWA, in a statement entitled, “Ndigbo respond to Uwazurike’s show of shame with Hamza Al- Mustapha in Kaduna stated “that Uwazuruike’s charade in Kaduna, where he went to plead for one Nigeria, while attacking Kanu at the same time, is nauseating, horrifying and despicable. “While pretending he was fighting for our people, he led thousands of Igbo youths to their early graves so he could live in opulence and luxury. Today, his closest ally is the infamous Al Mustapha. “He has finally destroyed himself. Igbo women will protest against him in the coming days. He is a big shame and a ruthless traitor; it is high time he is banned in Igbo land.”
Stop further sabotage of Ndigbo —Students
On its part, the Igbo Students’ Union, ISU, in a statement signed by its President, Chimezie Ubani, asked Uwazuruike to stop further sabotage of Ndigbo by working with the oppressor. Ubani said: “It is with a heavy heart, that we are sending this message to Uwazuruike, to desist from sabotaging our people’s freedom by conniving with the oppressor. “Uwazuruike has deceived our people for very many years, pretending to be genuine. We are completely tired of Uwazuruike’s game of blood of the innocent, which turned him into a chauffeured limousine/ land owner and estate developer.”
South East Christian Network
In a statement signed by the chairman of the South East Christian Network, SECN, Bishop Mike Ibeneme, they stated that Christians were angry with Uwazuruike over his alleged romance with the enemy and asked Ndigbo to pray and fast for Nnamdi Kanu. It said: “Christians all over the East are hereby called upon to pray and fast for Nnamdi Kanu. Uwazuruike, out of envy and hatred wants to create problems for Kanu. Uwazuruike allowed, greed to destroy him. Now he is bitter over Kanu’s popularity.”
