“Our blood has filled the streets enough. Allow those who feel they can do it, let them go and do it. We’ll be strong enough for this protest, but let us be w£ak for once.
Now, as one of the leaders of this country, as one of the leaders from the south eastern region that you love and you have confidence in, I am telling you, if you have never shown w£akness before, let it be shown now.”
—– Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu Tells Ndigbo
Any group or section of the country seeking for regime change should wait till 2027.
The Igbos have been fighting for Nigeria. We fought for the independence through Nnamdi Azikiwe and we got it for Nigeria in 1960.
We fought on the side of NADECO through Arthur Nwankwo, Prof. Udenta O. Udenta, Dr. ABC Nwosu, Sen. Ogbonnaya Onu and others, when the Democracy came in 1999, it was zoned to the South to produce the President, the Igbos was excluded, just to pacify the Yorubas over the death of MKO Abiola.
The Igbos again fought on the side of Democracy in 2015, joined the Coalition of Progressive Parties, later transformed into APC, founded by an Igbo man, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, when it was the turn of the South to produce the President in 2023, the Igbos was excluded again.
So, let the exclusion continue, don’t seek for our inclusion only during struggle for state capture or protest that may lead to anarchy and lost of lives. We are not available. We are tired of been used as scapegoat or sacrificial lamb.
