•Asks Igbo to apologise publicly to elder statesman
The Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) has described as idiotic and foolhardy a statement credited to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), disparaging the elder statesman and South-South Leader, Chief Edwin Kiagbodo Clark.
It has, therefore, called on the leadership of Igbo nation to tender a public apology to the National Leader of PANDEF over the unwarranted aspersion cast on him.
The Forum in a press release issued Saturday by its National Chairman and former Deputy Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Emmanuel Ibok Essien, stressed that the expressions in the said report could only have emanated from deluded and demented minds, which are quite indicative of the silliness of the IPOB officialdom.
According to PANDEF: “It is a shame that they cannot differentiate between fact and fantasy. This stupidity would erode any sympathy they had hitherto received from the South-South geo-political zone.
“Let us restate, without any equivocation, that the Niger Delta Region is not part of Biafra and that no inch of the South-South Geopolitical Zone shall be part of any imagined “Republic”. It’s rather puerile for IPOB or any other group to consider that Niger Delta Region would be part of any arbitrary contraption. If it becomes necessary for the Niger Delta people to pull out of this country, we shall do so, on our terms”
The group was quick to flaunt the credentials and contributions of the Pa Clark, whose life is a rich source of inspiration to many, within and beyond the borders of Nigeria adding that since the IPOB belligerents are so infantile and uninformed, it would suffice to state that the influence and significance of Chief Clark transcends the South-South Zone and the Niger Delta.
It described the Nationalist as an unswerving voice that resonates across Nigeria; for decades, speaking out against oppression, discrimination, and marginalization in the country.
PANDEF further said: “Over the years, the highly respected Chief who was a Federal Minister of Information, and Distinguished Senator of the Federal Republic, has in his capacities as an educationist, politician, public servant, lawyer, lawmaker, community leader and nationalist, continued to play vital roles to stimulate unity, peace and development in the Niger Delta Region, and Nigeria, at large.
“Working with other patriotic Nigerians, including the leadership of the apex Igbo Socio-Cultural Organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, and eminent personalities of Igbo extraction, towards the realization of a better Nigeria, where Equity, Fairness, and Justice would reign, and which, he remains doggedly committed to, even at age 94”.
The group apart from demanding an open apology from the Igbo nation to Pa Clark also called for the denouncement of the statement forthwith.
It said: “Though PANDEF assumes no well-meaning Igbo son or daughter would sanction the aspersion by IPOB on our respected National Leader, however, we would insist that the Leadership of the Igbo Nation denounce the irresponsible statement by IPOB, and tender a public apology to the Elder Statesman, and, indeed, the entire Niger Delta people, in the interest of healthy relations between the South-East and South-South Zones. Anything short of that would be inferred to be tacit approval of the balderdash of IPOB”.
When will these ‘local champions’ see reality for it is and what is about to consume everyone instead of having time to impress their Fulani paymasters.
Those so-called ‘IPoB’ need to te the so-called ‘PANDEF’ that their house is already on fire that will soon consume all of them, excerpt they wake up from their age long stupidity of serving the intrest of Fulanis and helping them with the divide and conquer/rule game!
If at the dying age of Edwin Clark he’s still talking about ‘one nigeria’ and at the same time BEGGING FULANIS LIKE ALMAJIRI for crumb of what belongs to his people, does he need anyone to tell him that he is the Problem?
Why is black folk this backward that they see every criticism as ‘insult’, even when they’re being Insulted because of their STUPIDITY?
Imagine despite all the Fulani rampaging genocides, Rapes, Humiliation, abuses etc. both by uniform and non-uniform Fulani terrorists on so-called ‘nigeria Deltans’, we never hear this ‘Fulani appologist’ group demand for apologies from Fulanis not to talk of demanding compensation, all their resources forcefully taken by the same Fulanis.. yet they did NOTHING, but are quick to now flex muscle and talk tough on fellow Bịafrans (right or wrong) trying to free the whole area from Fulanis!
What a horrible Shame!
PANDEF Go bury your faces in eternal shame with your equally Fulani apologist Eze na Eze (Not Ọha na Eze), because they’re NOT representing the people and will all soon find that out!
Meen..
When will these ‘local champions’ see reality facing them and what is about to consume everyone instead of having time to impress their Fulani paymasters, about to exterminate them?
Does so-called ‘IPoB’ need to tell the so-called ‘PANDEF’ that their house is already on fire and will soon consume all of them, excerpt they wake up now from their age long stupidity of serving the intrest of same Fulanis and helping them with their divide and conquer/rule game?
If at the dying age of Edwin Clark he’s still talking about ‘one nigeria’ and at the same time BEGGING FULANIS, LIKE ALMAJIRI for crumbs of what belongs to his people, does he need anyone to tell him that he is the Problem and a Traitor of that region not just so-called ‘niger delta’?
Why is black folk this backward in reasoning, that they see every criticism as ‘insult’, even when they’re Insulting themselves because of their STUPIDITY?
Imagine despite all the Fulani rampaging genocides, Rapes, Humiliation, Abuses etc. both by uniform and non-uniform Fulani terrorists on so-called ‘niger Deltans’ and all Bịafrans, we never hear this ‘Fulani appologist’ group ‘PANDEF’ demand for apologies from Fulanis not to talk of demanding compensation, all their resources forcefully taken by the same Fulanis.. yet they did NOTHING, but are quick to now flex muscle and talk tough on fellow Bịafrans (right or wrong) trying to free the whole area from Fulanis Genocides!
What a horrible Shame!
‘PANDEF’ Go bury your faces in eternal shame with your equally Fulani apologist in Igbo land, ‘Eze na Eze’ (Not Ọha na Eze), because they’re NOT representing the people and will all soon find that out!
