President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief John Nnia, has vowed not to allow the Indigenous People of Biafra use Igbo youths to cause trouble.
Nwodo said he will sabotage any attempt to cause war in Igboland in the name of agitation for Biafra.
He made the vow while addressing Ndigbo in Lagos at the practice pitch of the National Stadium during the discussion on restructuring.
Pleading with the security not to deal with the protesters, Nwodo said: “Nobody should touch these youths. They are my children. When I was their age, I was in the trench fighting for Biafra. My best friend died at the battle front.
“More than one million people were killed in the battle, one and half million people starved to death…you can’t be a youth then without going to the battle front.
“I can’t allow that to happen to my people again. That is why I will be a saboteur in any attempt to levy another war on Igboland. That is why Ohanaeze wants restructuring of Nigeria.”
“Northern senators issued a rejoinder to our position on restructuring, that we are heating the polity but they did not address the points we raised.”
Notable Igbo leaders at the gathering include: Chief Guy Ikokwu, Agunze Chibueze Ikokwu, Chief Sylvan Ebigwei, Eze Hycinth Ohazulike, Chief Eric Ebe, Prince Emeka Ogbu and Chief Fabian Duru.#Africa ... spill TEA.... Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie
