Ohanaeze condemns viral audio saying it wants to apologise to Fulani over 1966 coup

“We have committees for Education, health, skills
acquisition, Ohanaeze relief agency, through which we can distribute relief
materials to our people. We have started to reach out to our people in other
parts of Igboland.”

On the viral voice message, the Ohanaeze President General,
said: “Igbos are not responsible for the coup in 1966, It was entirely a
military affair. It was not carried out to make any Igbo man leader and a
beneficiary.

“You remember that the coup failed and if there is any tribe
that suffered from that coup was the Igbos because the igbos were massacred. We
lost our businesses. So how can we go to beg anybody and we did not kill
anybody. We did not have anything to do with that coup.

“We, Ohanaeze object to anybody profiling it to be Igbos.
So, anybody who says we are going to apologize is not true. Even from the books
I wrote we never sent anybody on that coup. So it pains me people tell lies to
damage my name that we are going to apologize over that coup. So, the story is
lies.”

“At the end of the war, there was no Vvctor nor vanquish.
The Nigeria government honoured the 3r, rehabilitation, reconstruction but they
did not do the reconciliation and that is what Ohanaeze Ndigbo is doing now.

 ‘This Is Our Story’.
It will tell our story starting from the time of war till this moment. So, as a
father I will forgive them, those who did the evil voice message. So far, Ugwuh
has apologized and I have forgiven him.

“Even the move to free Nnamdi Kanu, I have done a lot, I am
the one who started the move to free Kanu, and many were bold to join me
because they have respect for me and followed me. All our governors are calling
for Kanu’s to be released,” Ohanaeze PG said.
