The youth wing of apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has cautioned the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, against staging any form of protest in Igbo land.<\/p>\n

It could be recalled that the NLC had scheduled nationwide protests to hold across the country on February 27 and 28 over the hardship being experienced in the country.<\/p>\n

However, in a statement made available to journalists on Monday by the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, he said the NLC protest would not hold anywhere in Igbo land.<\/p>\n

Okwu, who said Ndigbo had suffered a series of unjust treatments in Nigeria, lamented that no region had ever come to the rescue of the people.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cunder the government of ex-president Muhammadu Buhari, Ndigbo were treated as pieces of garbage, but no other region raised a voice even in sympathy with us.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was such that there was no single Igbo man in Buhari\u2019s security council for eight years, but the entire country moved on as though nothing was wrong with it.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven under the present government, the South-East has the least number of ministers, and nobody has ever seen anything wrong with it.<\/p>\n

\u201cNdigbo were also not spared during the last general elections owing to some of the choices they made; they faced all manner of insults and attacks; yet no one cared to defend them.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy then will anyone want to drag Ndigbo to protest under whatever guise. We say a big \u2018No\u2019 to it and warn those planning it to look elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cBola Ahmed Tinubu is our president with whom we are well pleased and we shall keep supporting him,\u201d Okwu declared.<\/p>\n

He, however, presented three demands to President Tinubu, which included release of detained IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, additional state to the South-East and extra ministerial slot.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are matters of interest to Ndigbo and not any inconsequential protest,\u201d the Ohanaeze youths president stated.<\/p>\n
