Ohanaeze crisis: Spokesman, Uche Achi-okpaga gets 7-day resignation notice

The crisis rocking the Ohanaeze Ndigbo is far from over as the ‎Youth Council has issued a 7-day resignation notice to the publicity secretary of the apex-Igbo socio-cultural organization, Mr. Uche Achi-okpaga.

This formed part of the decision taken by the OYC during their meeting on Sunday.

In a statement signed by its publicity secretary, Engr. Obinna Adibe, they slammed Achi-okpaga for dishing out junk and falsehood to the society.

While noting that he lacked the mental capacity and wherewi‎thal to speak for Ndigbo, they gave him a 7-day ultimatum to either resign or be disgraced out of office.

‎This followed a statement credited to Achi-okpaga where he claimed that the Ohanaeze Youth Council was suspended by Ime Obi, Ohanaeze highest decision making body.

However, in a resolution by the OYC, they noted that “this is indeed another attempt by some idle jobbers to satisfy the needs of their pay-masters.”

“Before now, they were using Chuks Ibegbu, but having noticed the futility in every effort Ibegbu had made to blackmail the Youth Council, they have now recruited a more uninformed character in the person of Uche Achi-okpaga. The poor lies issued out is clearly the voice of Jacob but the hand of Esau.

“One would have expected that since Achi-okpaga is speaking for the first time since his coming on board, he should have at least exercised restraint.

“But he chose to dish out a badly cooked and poorly managed propaganda to discredit the OYC. This will not be allowed to stay.

“We challenge Achi-okpaga to provide evidence where Ime Obi suspended the Ohanaeze Youth Council as he blatantly claimed in that mischievous report.

“We are giving him 7 days to provide a video evidence where the Ime Obi took such a decision suspending the Youth Council. Failure to do so, we shall not only disgrace him out of office but drag him to court.

“We advise him to concentrate on the menial job he is doing in Ebonyi motor parks and seek ways of developing his intellectual rather than dissipate energy in a futile effort to discredit the OYC,” ‎Adibe stated.

He warned that “we shall henceforth not take it lightly with any person or group who makes further effort to smear the image of the Ohanaeze Youth Council. The entire Igbo youths shall surely visit their anger on them.

“May we, however, state that de‎spite their antics, our peace efforts with the Arewa Youths, which is aimed at safeguarding the lives of Ndigbo, will never be truncated.

“Not even these urchins or their paymaster, who was brought from nowhere into Ohanaeze can stop our efforts.”
