Biafran Day Celebration; Ohaneze Ndigbo Youth Wing Worldwide calls for peaceful resolution.

Ohaneze Ndigbo Youth Wing Worldwide calls for peaceful resolution.

This year's Biafran Day Celebration is accompanied

by high levels of uncertainty. This atmosphere laden with tension has moved us to appeal to our good consciences, as we call to mind the huge sacrifices our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, friends and other relations paid in this struggle, that we honour them by towing the pathway of peace and dialogue in resolving our differences as a people. Violence has taken a lot of our would-have- been great leaders to their early graves without fulfilling destiny. We therefore urge our teeming young and zealous people to harken to the words of our Lord Jesus Christ in the book of Matthew 5 Vs 9: " Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the Children of God." 

We, the Ohaneze Ndigbo Youth Wing Worldwide appeal to all agitators to sheath their swords and implore our stakeholders to speak out with boldness, without fear or favour to address the wanton killings going on in the nation, especially in the southern part of the Nation. We have lost our dear ones and our leaders seem to be mute about the whole matter.

We are also calling on the Federal Government to proffer a sincere and unbiased solution to these unrests in the zone as no nation thrives with such crises here and there.

As we continue to remember our heroes past, let us make deliberate efforts to address these matters before they escalate.

We therefore call on elders of the zone to bridge whatever gap that was created in the past and become more resolute in this struggle for a better Ala-Igbo.

Signed.

 Hon. Engr Emeka Gerald Anochili.
