The Chairman, Council of Elders, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, has described Yorubas as ‘political rascals’ to be soon cut to sizes.
Nwuayanwu, while giving his remark at the one-year anniversary of Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State disclosed that plans have been perfected by the Ohanaeze Ndigbo to deal with the Yorubas as he assured his kinsmen living in Lagos to be confident of Ohanaeze’s support for any attack against them.
“I want to let our people in Igbos know that on Wednesday I called a meeting of Ohaenaeze Council of elders worldwide and we…
“We have all resolved, I want those in Lagos to go home and tell those in Lagos, that never never again can we allow anybody to take the life of an innocent Igbo person…..Never again! …….We are Nigerians and we have invested in Nigeria. Our investment is so much. We are not going to take the situation of people telling us to go. We are not going anywhere and I want to tell those in Lagos to realise that there is no war between us and Yorubas. They are just political rascals, and we’re going to handle them. The elders have directed the Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, [Okey] Emuchay, to set up a commission of inquiry to find out things destroyed; people are going to pay,” he said.
The event which was held to commemorate the one year in office of Governor Soludo had in attendance the former president of the country, Olusegun Obasanjo, a known Yoruba elder, among others distinguished individuals.
Obasanjo sat shamefully in silence in the hall while Nwuanyanwu launched unnecessary verbal attacks on the Yoruba race.
