ANY IGBOMAN OR GROUP FROM THE SOUTH-EAST CONTEMPLATING TO BEG THE ABOMINABLE FULANI RACE OVER THE GENOCIDE AND POGROM UNLEASHED ON THE IGBOS IN THE 1960’S MUST BE SUFFERING FROM COLLECTIVE AMNESIA ~ Uche Mefor

Meanwhile, the Igbo-Biafra Nationalists, has said it would not accept any plan to apologize to any person or group of persons over the issues surrounding the coup.
The Convener of the group, Uche Mefor, denounced any such suggestion or plan of extending apologies to the Fulani community.
He said: “Our attention has been drawn to a purported shameful plan by some unscrupulous individuals from the South-East, contemplating the notion of extending an olive branch to the Fulani community, seeking forgiveness for the events surrounding the military coup of 1966. Such contemplation, however, must be met with resounding condemnation and a vehement refusal to tow such an ignoble, abominable path to destruction.
“The Igbo-Biafra Nationalists and the Indigenous People of Igbo Nation for Self-Determination categorically denounce any such suggestion or plan, whether genuine, perceived, or manipulated, of extending apologies to the Fulani community. This proposed action, if indeed true, represents a betrayal of the memory of the abominable atrocities committed against the Igbo race throughout the various chequered history of Nigeria’s bumbling political development.
“The onus of apology lies squarely on the shoulders of the Fulani community for their complicity in orchestrating genocide and perpetrating heinous crimes against the Igbo race. To entertain the idea of soliciting forgiveness from the very perpetrators of such atrocities is not only absurd but also the height of collective amnesia.”
As angry reactions continued to trail viral audio alleging plans by Ndigbo to apologize to the Fulani community over the 1966 coup in Nigeria, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, yesterday, denied any such move.
