The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide has issued a stern warning to the Uchenna Madu-led Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), cautioning the group against interfering in matters related to the leadership of Ohanaeze—both broadly and specifically in Lagos State.

This warning came in response to a recent statement from Madu’s faction of MASSOB, which threw its support behind Chief Senator John Azuta Mbata as the President-General of Ohanaeze and Chief Solomon Ogbonna Aguene as the Lagos State leader of the group.

In a press release distributed to the media on Monday, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, the National President of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, criticized MASSOB’s stance. He found it baffling that Madu’s group, known for championing Biafran secession, would now involve itself in determining the rightful leadership of Ohanaeze.

Okwu further accused Madu of serving the interests of certain influential figures behind the scenes, claiming the MASSOB leader was acting on behalf of external sponsors. He advised the general public to disregard what he described as unfounded assertions coming from “such a factional leader of MASSOB.”

Okwu declared that “Solomon Aguene is not President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos. His tenure expired long time ago and his endorsement by a factional leadership of MASSOB led by Uchenna Madu cannot change it.

“We are well aware that the endorsement statement was procured in a desperate bid to procure legitimacy but it is dead on arrival.”

The Ohanaeze youths warned the factional MASSOB and their likes to “stay off Ohanaeze activities and face their agitation. If they are tired, they should find something else, and not resort to turning Ohanaeze leadership into a business venture.

“Ndigbo Lagos cannot be cowed with an acclaimed consent judgement of a greedy man who wants to perpetually remain the president of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos.

“You continually enforce yourself on the people even when it is clear that you are no longer needed.

“He pleaded with late Prof George Obiozor for recognition, it failed; he pleaded with late Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, it failed; now he wants to force himself on Mbata with a purchased endorsement by a faction of MASSOB.”

“We are very much aware of those working with enemies of Ndigbo in Lagos to curry favour; at the appropriate time, we shall expose them,” Okwu vowed.

He restated that Chief Jackson Omenazu remains the authentic President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, warning that they would not sit by and watch the imposition of a stranger on Ndigbo as their leader.
