Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council (OYC) has commended the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar 111 over a recent comment on the consequences of bad leadership especially in the North where rate of poverty is high and out of school children on the increase.
OYC also added that insurgency in the North is a direct consequence of sins committed against the Igbo during the Biafra war in which about 2000 people, including women and children were killed.
In a statement signed by the President General Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro and the Secretary General, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike OYC insists that until the North repents and support Nigerian President of Igbo origin in 2023 as a medium to ask God for forgiveness, the insurgency will continue to serve a punishment in North.
While alleging that northern leaders are benefitting from the insurgency in the region, OYC insists that God has given Igbos the solutions to heal the North and end her suffering and poverty.
It also faulted the proposed agency for welfare of repented Boko Haram members which bill is already before the National Assembly, saying it is a move to legalized INSURGENCY and create opportunities to waste resources on Boko haram sect.

Press Release
(1) Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide hail SULTAN of SOKOTO, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar 111,for his courageous and strong Speech about the Consequences and impact of leadership failure in Nigeria especially in the North, as he (SULTAN) declared during the event of 5th international Conference on “Love and Tolerance ” that God was using INSURGENTS in the Northern Part of Country to punish Nigerians for their Sins, but Contrarily OYC insists that why INSURGENTS are ravaging the North is based on the sins Committed against Igbos 50 years ago during the BIAFRA war by mostly Northern Military leaders, which witnessed the Unfortunate killings of over two million Igbos,who are mostly Children and Women,Until the North repents and support A Nigerian President of igbo Stock 2023 as a medium to ask God for forgiveness,the INSURGENCY will continue to serve a Punishment in North, as OYC insists that God has given Igbos the solutions to heal the North and end her suffering and poverty, but mostly Northern politicians are benefiting hugely from the insecurity challenges in the North.
(2)OYC Condemned vehemently the bill,” National Agency for Education, Rehabilitation, De-radicalisation and integration of repentant insurgents in Nigeria ” sponsored by Senator Ibrahim Gaidam, as a Cosmetic approach to legalized INSURGENCY and create opportunities to waste resources as Boko haram sect are not ready to accept Western Education or negotiations, this Bill is an indictment that Government had failed in the war against terrorism and insecurity challenges, the fear of current threat by the leader of Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau to Northern Politicians with a marching order and Call for the release of all Boko Haram detainees as part of condition to release remaining Chibok girls, so this bill was part of the secret plot and ploy by Northern politicians to persuade President Muhammadu Buhari to grant amnesty to Boko Haram after the threat of Boko haram leader Sheaku, all Southern and Christian Senators must Unite that this bill shouldn’t pass through second reading, as it will empower terrorists to control greater part of the North and become a security threat to the South and Middle belt regions.
(3) OYC still believe that Military options and Good Governance will end the insecurity challenges and insurgency in the North, We are worried about Leah Shaibu,a Christian girl known as the LEGEND of FAITH, who had spent two years in captivity and the Northern politicians are turning blind eye, not pressurizing for her release, We call on President Muhammadu Buhari not to relent in ensuring that Leah Shaibu is release from Captivity, as failure to facilitate her release, will send a wrong signal to international Community and will surely have grave consequences and implications for Nigeria’s image globally.
