From Nwogha Ndubuisi, Abakaliki

The national president of the apex socio-cultural youth organization in Igbo land, Ohanaeze Youth Council,OYC, Comrd. Igboayaka O Igboayaka has expressed sadness over the negligence of the Governor of Enugu State, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwunwanyi towards his advice on how to avert envisaged brutal killing of his citizens. He made this known in a statement issued and made available to our correspondent while reacting on the ongoing killings in some parts of Enugu State. Comrade Igboayaka alleged that he made the said revelation in the early period of March, 2021 when he had a dialogue with the Enugu State Governor on the incessant killings of innocent Igbo sons and daughters in his state, but regretted that he never heeded to his candid advice. The embittered Igbo youth leader revealed that Ehu-Amufu 3rd Missionary Jihadist massacre could have been averted if Governor Ugwuanyi had listened to the council's strategic counsel on how to save Enugu Land from the dreaded Fulani herdsmen bandits and Jihadist. "It's obvious that the State had, as at yesterday, recorded the loss of over 100 lives in the State, consequent upon the lethal attack on the people by dreaded Fulani herdsmen, as houses were also set ablaze in the course of the attack. Igboayaka, who accused Ugwuanyi of being engrossed in what he termed "his selfish interest in retiring to the Senate in 2023" threatened that if no adequate proactive measures are deployed to put a lasting end to the gruesome massacre that , "Igbo youths shall rise against SouthEast leaders", he said. He recounted that "it was also the same thing Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state did when I contacted him on the killings that were going on in Ebonyi. However, all Umahi could say was, I shouldn't worry him that I should concentrate on Imo State that I am not from Ebonyi state, Igboayaka disclosed. "It's now obvious that we don't have leaders in Southeast, none of the Southeast Governors, Senators, Federal House of Representatives members, or State House of Assembly members have made any comments or reaction on the killings of over 200 Igbos at Eha-Amufu, Enugu State. "Our Senators and Federal Representatives in Abuja are looking for money and contracts and preparing to go back to National assembly. There's no gainsaying that Governors, Senators, Reps members and Ministers from South-east extraction are Soulless human political elements that have more esteem for their political positions more than the millions of lives of Ndigbo. "These political Characters must be taught a lesson in a hard way, or they will intensify in their efforts to put the lives of Ndigbo into jeopardy. These wicked characters that attach titles of Excellency, Honorable and Distinguished are walking freely on the street, blowing siren here and there without a tinge of feelings about the woes that have befallen on Ndigbo. He added "the ethnic cleansing is real in Igbo land, it has started from Enugu Axis, just yesterday Sunday, 18 December, 2022, another massacre of Ndigbo took place at various communities in Eha-Amufu, Ebor, Umujiovu, Mgbuji, Agu-Amede, a causality that recorded the killing of over 100 people. This inhuman operation started in the early hours of Sunday's morning and lasted up until night". "I therefore warned Igbo leaders to sit up now, convoke a compulsory SouthEast Geo-political Zonal meeting and cease from betraying Ndigbo for money or political positions, otherwise, there will be a political mob action in Igbo land that will sweep off every political oppressors." he warned.
