OPEN LETTER TO SOUTHEAST SENATORS, HONOURABLE MEMBERS OF HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, OHANAEZE YOUTH COUNCIL

th 2024 11 26T123447.070

OPEN LETTER TO SOUTHEAST SENATORS, HONORABLE MEMBERS OF HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, BY OHANAEZE YOUTH COUNCIL

Distinguished Senators and Honorable House OF Reps members,

GIVE US ANIOMA STATE FOR JUSTICE AND EQUITY.

We respectfully solicit your backing and endorsement for the establishment of Anioma State, as a profound generational gift to the Igbo youths.

Eminent Senators and Honorable Members of the Federal House of Representatives, National Assembly Abuja, the Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), the leading socio-cultural youth organization of the Igbo Race globally, sincerely requests your thoughtful consideration and endorsement of the proposed Anioma State, a landmark gift to the rising new generation of Igbo origin.

Throughout our lives, we have witnessed and endured tribal exclusion, political disenfranchisement, and economic marginalization in Nigeria, giving rise to an unyielding awareness of the profound inequalities and injustices that challenge our sense of belonging within Nigeria.

During our examination of the marginalization of Igbos, we found nothing, but surprisingly, Ndigbo are the most detribalized in Nigeria, having rebounded from the 1966-1970 genocide with just £20 and subsequently become leading contributors to business success and infrastructure development across Nigeria’s 36 states and Abuja.

We have worn the cloak of marginalization for 56 years, with the SouthEast Geopolitical Zone still having limited representation in the Senate, Federal House of Representatives and number of states.

Since the inception of Nigeria’s democratic dispensation in 1999, the emergence of the Movement for the Actualization of the State of Biafra (MASSOB) marked a significant turning point. Are you aware that the persistent political inequality in the South-East Zone ultimately reignited the quest for Biafra among all pro-Biafra groups, including the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)?

We acknowledge that National Assembly members representing the SouthEast should align their decisions with the overall interests of the SouthEast and Ndigbo.

In light of renewed discussions on creating another state in the SouthEast at the National Assembly, the Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) undertook broad-based consultations with Southeast and Igbo youth, yielding a consensus of 98% in support of Anioma’s creation as presented by Dist. Sen. Prince Chinedu Nwoko as Igbo illustrious Son.

Esteemed Senators and Honorable Members of the Federal House of Representatives, I bring to your remembrance the poignant sacrifice of the Anioma people, who lost over 3000 lives, predominantly men, for the preservation of Nigeria’s unity.

We appeal to you to transcend personal political divides and endorse the Igbo youth’s plea for the establishment of Anioma State, as an act of healing and recognition of Anioma’s sacrifices, particularly during the October 1967 Osowa Ogbe Square Asaba massacre

It’s a supreme sacrifice Anioma people paid for Nigeria Unity, it’s therefore a little sacrifice for us to support them for a new Anioma State.

Amiable Senators and Honorable Members of the Federal House of Representatives, the longstanding quest for justice and equity for Ndigbo in Nigeria’s political landscape can be effectively addressed through the creation of Anioma State, a goal for justice and equity pursued for over 56 years.

A fundamental principle in Nigeria’s Geopolitical Zone creation was consolidating states and peoples sharing a common cultural heritage within one zone. Regrettably, Ndigbo was disadvantaged in this arrangement. Your endorsement of Anioma State’s creation will be acknowledged as a pivotal step in rectifying this political anomaly affecting Ndigbo, thereby addressing their long-standing appeal for Equity and Justice.

Those of you experiencing discomfort due to insecurity in the Southeast should recognize that announcing the creation of Anioma State as one more state to SouthEast Geopolitical Zone will be a pivotal step towards addressing the marginalization that fueled secessionist agitation in SouthEast.

The Igbo youths are predominantly disgruntled, primarily due to the inadequate representation of their interests at the federal level. Consequently, the creation of Anioma State emerges as a viable solution to alleviate widespread discontent and agitation, rather than a personal preference.

We the over 50 millions Igbo Youths World Wide respectfully implore our distinguished Senators and honorable members of the Federal House of Representatives to advocate for our interests with the federal government by supporting the establishment of Anioma State, consistent with the principles of Geopolitical Zones creation, which involve grouping states with shared cultural heritage into one Zone. Therefore, proposing Etiti or Orlu State, which would comprise people with the same cultural affinity that are already in Southeast, may instead exacerbate tensions and ignite further agitation among Igbo youth, underscoring the need for Anioma State.

Frequently, our Most distinguished Senators and Honorable Members your decisions made without adequate consultation with Igbo youths and engagement at the grassroots level have resulted in irreparable harm to the SouthEast. To prevent further damage, our inquiry and the results of our grassroots consultation shows that establishing Anioma State would help restore Igbo youths confidence and trust in leadership, while also addressing the grievances of disillusioned youths and agitators.

Distinguished Senators and Most Honorable Members of the Federal House of Representatives, our comprehensive consultations have revealed a substantial disconnect between Igbo leaders/ representatives and the Igbo youths, leading to erosion of trust and confidence. The Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) urges and recommends that rebuilding this trust and confidence is paramount by engaging in thorough youths political consultations, Southeast leaders and representatives can address the underlying causes of youths anger and restiveness, promoting stability in the region.

The creation of Anioma State is a bold initiative by Dist. Sen. Ned Nwoko that aligns with our collective interests and constitutes a significant political step towards addressing the longstanding agitation of marginalization in the Southeast.

In the pursuit of equity and justice, and within the context of visionary leadership and wisdom, SouthEast National Assembly Members should be aware that the creation of Anioma State in the SouthEast signifies a crucial political milestone for Ndigbo since 1970, and embodies hope for the emerging Igbo generation that Nigeria is reorienting towards justice and equity.

We strongly believe that His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will nod in approval, recognizing that your actions of supporting the Anioma State Creation represent a noble initiative to restore hope among young people of Igbo descent

Signed
Comrade Igboayaka O Igboayaka
National President General Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC)

    ARMED HERDSMEN OVERRUN ENUGU COMMUNITY BURN HOUSES, SACK THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS

    ARMED HERDSMEN OVERRUN ENUGU COMMUNITY, BURN HOUSES, SACK THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS The once-thriving Ndiagu Amofia in Umuhu autonomous community, Eha-Amufu, Isi-Uzu local government area of Enugu State, now lies desolate and abandoned. Armed Fulani herdsmen have taken over the land, displacing hundreds of residents who fled in terror after a brutal attack on Friday, February 28, 2025. SaharaReporters learnt that the marauding herdsmen set two houses ablaze, looted several others, and brutally killed the only child of a widow and a final year university student. The child’s uncle was also shot, leaving the community in a state of shock and grief. The attack has rendered the residents homeless, and their hopes of returning to their ancestral homes hang in the balance. The village, once a thriving agricultural community, now lies idle, its farm settlements abandoned and with dry leaves covered everywhere. When SaharaReporters visited Ndiagu Amofia Umuhu on Monday on a factfinding tour, no single resident was seen in the vast settlement as everyone had fled. SaharaReporters was told that the settlement until the attack was last remaining community settlement otherwise known as ‘Ndiagu’ in Eha-Amufu. Armed Herdsmen Overrun Ndiagu Community In Enugu, Burn Houses, Sack Thousands Of Residents Leaving Them Hopeless From Amofia Unu to the settlement which took SaharaReporters crew 45 minutes in a ride on commercial motorcycle otherwise known as ‘Okada’ could only be accessed through trekking, motorcycles or bicycles. The settlement has no access road as it can only be accessed through footpaths with dangerous terrain full of makeshift culverts. On the road SaharaReporters crew saw residents, mainly women who were carrying their belongings and farm produce fleeing the settlement to wherever they could find shelter. On approaching the settlement, SaharaReporters saw a primary school and a Church beside it. However, on a closer look it was observed that the school and church had since been abandoned, showing the severity of the situation. Getting inside the settlement, the entire area was greeted with desolation and abandonment. The area could best be described as a dead zone with silent like graveyard. One can hear sounds of pine if it falls down. You can only hear noise of birds and animals in the bush. Homes have been abandoned with compounds littered with dry leaves. On approaching the areas where houses were burned, sounds of gunshots could be heard loud and clear. The next was noise of cows. From the sounds it could only mean one thing, the hersmen are living close. Discussion throughout the tour in the settlement was done in hush voices. Our guide, who was one of the victims of the attack and the chairman of the Ndiagu Amofia village led the way. At a point, he became afraid of going further and advised the crew go back for everyone’s safety. He took SaharaReporters crew to houses that were burned. He was constantly moving, hide and peeping to know whether there’s danger before continuing. “We are in a state of panic,” said Mr. Godwin Chukwudi Odoh, chairman of the Ndiagu Amofia village. “They burned two houses, killed a final-year university student and only child of a widow. I was targeted, but I escaped by hiding in the bush. My house was burned, and my wife and newborn baby were forced to flee.” The attack has left the community in a state of fear, with residents too afraid to return to their homes. “As we speak, I have nothing left,” Odoh lamented. “To eat, I depend on the generosity and kindness of the people. I’m currently squatting with a relation. It’s disheartening that since the attack, no government agency has brought food or assistance to us.” Asked why the Fulani attacked them, Odoh said “I don’t know. We don’t have…
