The socio-cultural union of Ohanaeze Youth Council Worldwide (OYC) has today chided their critics describing the re-opening of the Akanu Abiam International Airport in Enugu after it was shut down in the last one year as an indication that President Buhari likes Igbos not as his critics think. The group lauded the action of the president, saying he has disgraced his critics whose intent is to paint the Federal government as the enemies of the Igbos and also sectional in the development of social amenities across Nigeria.
OYC’s statement was contained in a statement signed by its President-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, and it's Secretary-General, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike.
The statement which partly reads: “OYC wishes to categorically state that we have the mandate of Igbo elders to persuade those who unjustly used Ohanaeze Ndigbo’s name as signatories to the ongoing suit against President Muhammadu Buhari without proper consultative approval from the various stakeholders to withdraw.
“Igbo Youths salute the Southeast Governors Forum for the harmonious relationship between them and President Muhammadu Buhari irrespective of the rogue operations of few Igbo groups to label them saboteurs.
“OYC is full of hope that International flights will resume operations at Enugu international Airport at the resumption of international flights on September 5th, 2020.”
