Ohaneze Youths Write Open Letter To UN, Issue A Two-Point Demand

The Ohanaeze Youth Council, Worldwide, OYC, have written a petition to the United Nations, UN, demanding special protection for the Igbo people around the Northern part of Nigeria, DAILY POST reports.

The Youths also called for the commencement of steps towards a referendum in Igbo land to finally determine the fate of their people.

This is coming in reaction to the letter written by the Arewa Youths to the Acting President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, wherein they slammed Ndigbo over the continuous agitation for Biafra. The Arewa youths in the letter accused the Igbos of instigating various crisis in the country, including the first military coup as well as the civil war.

However, in a letter to the UN by the OYC, they said it was high time a referendum was conducted to pave way for the final end to the “unworkable marriage” called Nigeria.

The letter signed by the group’s national president, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike (National secretary) Amb Arthur Obiora (Dep National President) Engr Obinna Adobe (National Publicity Secretary) was copied to the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, the United States Embassy in Nigeria, the UK Embassy, the Commonwealth, the Amnesty International, among others.
