The Director General of Igbo Mandate Congress IMC, Rev Obinna Akukwe have condemned the various factions and
chieftains of IPOB who have continuously rejoiced and gloated over the demise of Ohanaeze Leader, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu., describing it as act of irresponsibility......See Full Story>>.....See Full Story>>
Speaking in Abuja on Monday during the meeting of Igbo MNADTE congress Directors from the 19 Northern States and FCT, Rev Akukwe said that those sending messages on whatsapp, facebook, twitter and other media platforms claiming that the ‘Spirit of Nnamdi Kanu and Biafra killed Chief Iwuanyanwu’ as irresponsible ignoramus, whether from the family, friends, Ohanaeze, IPOB or any quarter the rumors are originating.
He said that Iwuanyanwu was allegedly poisoned after visiting Nnamdi KANU in DSS Dungeon because he set up to expose persons, internal and external behind the crisis in Igboland, as revealed to him by Nnamdi Kanu.
Excerpts of the address given during the ‘IMC Leaders Operational Review Mechanism Exercise ’ in Abuja by Rev Obinna Akukwe include, “Dear Comrades in this Divine Mandate in Igbo MANDATE Congress, to position Ndigbo to achieve Greatness Through Proactive Industrialization, Commercialization, Republicanism and Good leadership, after painstaking investigations, have concluded that the Ohanaeze Leader, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, was serially eliminated through poisonous inhalation, for having the boldness to visit the separatist Biafran secessionist agitator, Nnamdi kanu in the custody of the DSS, Nigeria’s secret police.
“Igbo Mandate Congress will respectfully inform the Iwuanyanwu family in due course that Ahaejieemba died for trying to save the life of Nnamdi Kanu, stop unnecessary bloodshed in Igbo land. IMC warned ‘Ahaejiejemba’ immediately after the visit to the DSS dungeon, to be careful because those who orchestrated the illness that killed the former governor of Anambra State, Chairman Ohanaeze Ndigbo Elders Council in the 19 Northern States, Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Chief Mazulike Amechi ( Past Chairman Ohanaeze Ndigbo Elders Council) Prof George Obiozor (President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo) for their stringent call for the release of Nnamdi Kanu are lurking, and will strike at any moment. Some sinister enemies of Ndigbo whose intention is to keep South East in a state of wailing and self implosion, finished off Ahaejiejemba, before his salvage efforts starts yielding results.
“Igbo Mandate Congress later released reports that Chief Iwuanyanwu had fallen ill after visiting Nnamdi Kanu , a
statement repudiated by an overzealous staff, who claimed that the Ohanaezeleader just had minor unwellness. Thirty days after that unfortunate rebuttal, Iwuanyanwu became late. This media aide and his friends deceived Iwuanyanwu
that it is not possible for him to be poisoned, and a month later, the rest is history.
“However, it is on record that the Ohanaeze leader called the attention of the Igbo Mandate Congress and Special Task Force for the Release of Nnamdi Kanu and lauded the attempts to set the records straight. According to Chief Iwuanyanwu “You People are doing a good job, you should keep it up” and promised to hold a meeting once he recovers from the illness.
“IMC had already contacted notable Igbo pathologists and experts with the intention of approaching Chief Iwuanyanwu for proper forensic analysis and histology of the sudden spike in ailment, with the intention of assisting him out f the debacle through medical counter measures, before some overzealous aides whose names are not fit to be mentioned, stared spewing thrash.
“Igbo Mandate Congress afterwards informed its group leaders to prepare for eventualities concerning Ohanaeze leadership because the enemy has struck”
I want to recap the June 25th News Report, where we warned Ohanaeze and other stakeholders that the situation around Iwuanyanwu is critical. Excerpts of News Reports detailing the exposure include.
“ Ohanaeze Leader ,Iwuanyanwu , Falls Sick after Visiting Nnamdi Kanu in DSS Headquarters’
In the June 25th, 2024 reports we stated fully to you people , and parts f it was published in themedia that
“The President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu had fallen sick two days after visiting leader of Indigenous Peoples of Biafra IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu in DSS detention center. The meeting at DSS headquarters took place on the 30th of May, while the Ohanaeze leader has been bedridden two days after till June 12th.
“The sudden illness of Chief Iwuanyanwu when efforts are ongoing with the Special Task Force for the Release of Nnamdi Kanu, to move the political solution to the next level, sparks of hidden agenda. The points we noted in the aid meeting include:
(1) It is suspicious that Ndigbo lost four Ohanaeze leaders in two years, all diagnosed of same illness. Igbos lost President Generals of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Dr Joe Irukwu, Prof Ben Nwabueze , Dr Dozie Ikedife, Col Joe Achuzia, Professor George Obiozor, Chief Mbazulike Amechi and Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife within the space of two years.
(2) IMC called for covert investigations on why top Igbo leaders are dying in quick succession, and alleged that it is an
attempt to destroy all intellectual oriented Igbo leaders so that charlatans, kidnappers and ritualists will take over.
(3) IMC alleged that the late governor of Anambra State, Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife, complained numerously that some persons were hired to eliminate him and some Igbo elders by use of inhalable poisonous substances. He continued to make the assertions, until a medical condition emerged which claimed his life.
(4) IMC said that the members of the Special Task Force for the Release of Nnamdi Kanu will visit Chief Iwuanyanwu on Monday, to pray for him, if the situation does not improve.
(5) IMC stated that Igbo Mandate Congress have obtained the medical records of some of the demised Ohanaeze leaders through covert means, and will assemble medical and biological experts for thorough investigations to ensure that there is no systematic elimination of bold and fearless Igbo leader.
“Thirty days later, the leader of IMC in Enugu State, and veteran NANS Comrade, broke the news of the unfortunate demise to IMC Leadership. He was promptly informed that IMC was not surprised because the agents of death acted swiftly.
Rev Akukwe also added that “IMC Wishes to apologize to the Iwuanyanwu family because IMC members joined members of the Special Task Force for the Release of Nnamdi Kanu to convince him to visit Nnamdi Kanu in DSS dungeon, despite opposition from certain quarters, and even accompanied him. However, when the ‘Agents of Death Came, We also Warned Him’
“Chief Iwuanyanwu had a fruitful discussion with Nnamdi Kanu in DSS Dungeon, details of which we have, and will not make sensitive aspects public for public safety. He sincerely wished to facilitate his release from DSS dungeon. He told us to quickly facilitate a meeting with President Bola Tinubu within the next ten days after visiting Nnamdi Kanu,
since his former request was not honored. That request was made before one of Kanu’s siblings and one of his counsel and two members of the Special Task Force for the Release of Nnamdi Kanu, the next day he took ill and never
returned.
“Chief Iwuanyanwu died for Ndigbo. He was ostensibly eliminated through poison inhalation of gas which exacerbated his mild health condition, and triggered some underling issues. Ohanaeze Ndigbo and their Youth body should eschew all these rivalries, and join prominent Igbo sons and daughters to accord the last respect to a man murdered for Ndigbo the manner Chief Tobias Idiga, Ohanaeze Ndigbo President of Kano, was murdered through poisoning, for condemning state sponsored terrorism on Ndigbo in Kano during the hey days of Boko Haram.
“The Presidency, South East Governors, MASSOB, IPOB, Ohanaeze, town Unions should honor this man who like Dr Ezeife, advised Igbo Youth to eschew violence, and be civil in their agitations. He died in the process.”
The Directors of Igbo Mandate Congress were mandated to ensure that the threat by a faction of IPOB to disrupt the burial process in one way or the other, is effectively neutralized.
