The apex youth wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide–the Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) has berated the President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government, accusing it of thriving in tyranny and impunity.
Further describing President Muhammadu Buhari as unrepentant tyrant, OYC expressed displeasure over what it called judiciary impunity and unwarranted measures over the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB who is currently standing trial at a federal high court in Abuja.
In a statement made available to ABN TV by the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council, Comrade Igboayaka O Igboayaka it condemned to arrest of journalists who had converged at federal high Court Abuja to cover the trial of IPOB leader.
The statement partly reads, “The democratic and human rights of freedom of association and speech enjoyed in democracy has been murdered by President Muhammadu Buhari led administration evidenced in the blatant use of force against any manner and form of opposition since assumption in office and the activities of the federal government can best be likened as a military government that goes about its whims and caprices mindless of whose ox is gored.

“The arrest of many journalists who went to cover the court proceedings at federal high court and members of IPOB is a sign of colossal failure of democracy in Nigeria, and we call for for their immediate release.
“It’s highly undemocratic and a show of tyranny of President Muhammadu Buhari administration watching Nigeria security agents beat civilians and IPOB members who came to watch the court proceedings.”
The council also drew attention of the UK government to the impunity that has plagued the current administration, warning that the government should tread with caution as not to strip the country of its sovereignty.
“British government should wake up to the present realities in Nigeria and see the contraption they created becoming a monster that eats its child. President Buhari is majestically walking on a tiny rope with a sharp blade, that if not well cautioned will strip Nigeria of her sovereignty.
“Nigeria government is becoming an institution on a suicide mission; rule of law has been imprisoned, freedom of speech is in exile, freedom of association has been buried, value of human life has no place by those with political powers, security agents has become vampires that carnivorously feed on the flesh of Self- determination group of Igbo extraction, the IPOB and others.
“The international community with sense of human should come to aid of Nigerians, as the situation here in Nigeria is secretly more fearful than the time of Gen. Idi Amin of Uganda.
“Our county is turning into a den of scavengers, Igbo youths has been pushed to the wall since 2015 that President Muhammadu Buhari came to power, the political actors of Nigeria government should bear in mind that Nnamdi Kanu’s case is not strictly IPOB case but completely an Igbo affair, therefore, every Igbo person by conviction, trait and act is an Indigenous Person Of Biafra.
“I commend the diplomatic and tactical effort of PG. Prof. Amb. George Obiozor led Ohanaeze Ndigbo World Wide towards Nnamdi Kanu’s ordeal, describing Prof. George Obiozor as a father of new Igbo nation, while applauding the spirits of “Ime bewe Anya ebewe” demonstrated by Ndigbo all over the world at this critical moment of Igbo political survival.
“At this juncture it’s very paramount for President Mohammadu Buhari to hand Mazi Nnamdi Kanu over to noble political leaders of Igbo extraction which will guarantee a quick negotiation and dialogue on the quest for self- determination.”
