Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the pan-Igbo socio-cultural organisation, has called for a meeting of Igbo leaders following the recent massacre in Egedegede, Obeagu and Nkaleha communities of Ebonyi State and some parts of Enugu State.
According to a statement signed by the Chairman, Council of Elders of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, the elders of Igboland has directed that the President-General, Prof. George Obiozor and the Chairman of South-East Governors’ Forum, Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State, call an immediate meeting of stakeholders, including the National Assembly.
The meeting, according to the statement, will deliberate on ways to protect Igbo people wherever they live, including establishing an emergency relief fund for people exposed to attack of terrorism anywhere in Igboland.
The statement further warned that any attack on any Igbo soil is an attack on the entire Igboland and Igbos will never fold their hands and watch people invade them.
