About 42 Igbo organisations have concluded plans to carry
out a five million-man march in December to press home the restructuring
of the country to make it true federalism.
The planned march will hold in the five South East states next month.
The Founder of Igbo Youth Movement (IYM), Evang. Elliot Uko, who
disclosed this after their marathon meeting with Igbo traders
organisations in Enugu yesterday, said the planned five million-man
march would hold in the five states of the South East zone.
According to him, the march will hold simultaneously in Afikpo,
Abakaliki, Nsukka, Enugu, Aba, Umuahia, Ohafia, Okigwe, Owerri, Orlu,
Onitsha, Nnewi and Awka from 13 different points.
Uko said the march which would be peaceful would be led by the clergy
and student groups in each of the cities and towns mentioned.
Commenting on the meeting of the South East governors and Igbo
leaders scheduled for Sunday (tomorrow), Uko said current developments
that informed the meeting are beyond political interests and
considerations of any individual or office holder, maintaining that
only the truth could save the situation.
“And the truth is that Nigeria must be urgently restructured in order
to give all sections a sense of belonging thereby enthroning true
federalism without delay, any other solution will not work.
“Sometime ago, an Igbo leader, who tried to superimpose a strange
agenda on Ndigbo at Women Development Centre, Abakaliki failed
woefully in that attempt, he was booed by Ndigbo who clearly rejected
the third term agenda of his friend.
“That man is yet to recover his credibility till date, any Igbo
leader who is willing to allow himself either to be induced or
intimidated to shy away from the truth, will only destroy himself. The
truth of the situation is so clear that even the blind can see it. Only
early return to true federalism will heal Nigeria,” he insisted.
