Igbo group, the Ohanaeze Youth Council, OYC, has said it has no involvement whatsoever, in the crisis currently rocking the pro-Biafra group, Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, which led to the emergence of a splinter group, TRIPOB.
In a statement signed by one Mazi Okemiri Alex, Chairman of all the Chairmen of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth wing, the OYC said that neither the entire body nor its President General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro has any hand in the IPOB crisis.
The statement read, "The attention of the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth council worldwide is drawn to a publication in some media which claimed that the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth council worldwide, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro is behind the break away faction of IPOB called TRIPOB.
"This is a naked lie. Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth council worldwide has nothing to do with TRIPOB neither is it involved in the crisis rocking IPOB. We warned one Elliot Uko and the spokesperson of IPOB Clifford Iroanya to stop blackmailing the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth council worldwide or we will declare them enemies of Igbo.
"Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth council worldwide is the apex Igbo Youth body and does not involve itself in any pro-Biafra agitation and is not mobilizing for anybody including President Buhari on October 1, 2016, but will be at the forefront of calling for the release of all Biafran detainees.
"We believe in restructuring of the country according to 2014 Constitutional conference and call on President Buhari to look into it. "We advise IPOB to please, not involve Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth council worldwide in their propaganda."
