Nobody Is Chasing Northerners From South-East – Ohanaeze
The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has denied claims that Northerners living in the South-East have been giving a quit notice to leave the region.
This is according to the National Publicity Secretary, Chief Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia, who said no one was chasing northerners away.
He advised leaders and elites in the South-East and the North to desist from rhetorics that could incite religious or ethnic violence.
“Leaders must restrain themselves from sharing the wrong narratives and perspectives. No one is driving Northerners away from the South.
“Ohanaeze calls on Northern leaders to join in the call against lawlessness and impunity by the few who do not represent the majority.
“Surely, no upright and well-meaning citizens will dispute the imperative of having law-abiding citizens who pursue their vocations without harming others.
“We declare that our people demand the observance of due process by all groups. We deplore rash and unlawful retaliatory actions,” the statement read.
