INTERSOCIETY
The South West and Northern players politicians and civil society
groups have distinguishing features from the South East and the South South.
The first group ie North and SW promote their own, are sponsored by their own.
In some major Universities abroad they organize scholarships for their own and
also send theirs to courses.
In United States of America those who work as much as INTERSOCIETY
CIVIL SOCIETY are supported only those backings are not based on tribe but
principles. For example child marriage child abuse disgust me and women’s rights issues not really promoted in
Nigeria. So let’s say a legal brief awaiting payment of two million US Dollars for
example perfected. I could call some
NGOs propagating resounding principles & support them through donations.
But I will not give a farthing to ISIS.
INTERSOCIETY is not illegal, it promotes civil rights, receiving donations not a taboo to back its human rights work like
Human Rights Watch. The North and South West do not consider it a taboo. US and
Europe do not prohibit it cos if legitimate acts are not backed the sources of sustenance
and activities may whittle away. The
Yorubas and Hausa Fulanis understand this which is why they gave NPA to a good
lady who was co-founder Chibok campaigns. Outlawed groups such as ISIS those
who support their illegitimate campaigns commit atrocities.
NBA-NEC the lawyers back small groups and pockets of lawyers in NEC.
Look Professor Osinbajo has just been accused of replacing a male
South Westerner with a South East lady lawyer who has not completed her tenure as DG PENCOM –
The lady lawyer was appointed in Dec 2014 The Act says a replacement ought to have come
from South East to complete the lady lawyer’s tenure, these being public offices.
And the presidency wrote yesterday that a great percentage of Osibanjo’s staff were
appointed by Buhari, good Muslims in a plural society, does it mean they could
not find good Christians to balance the equation?

Re-Intersociety & SBCHROs Name Peter Obi, Ike Ekweremadu, 21
Others As Sponsors Of Insurgency Of The Pro Biafran Groups
Exposing The Wickedness Of Enemies Of Igbo People And Southeast/Int’l
Human Rights Movement
(Intersociety & SBCHROs: Nigeria, 4th June 2017)-
The attention of the leaderships of Int’l
Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law (Intersociety) and Southeast
Based Coalition of Human Rights Organizations (SBCHROs) have been drawn to the
above underlined wicked publication titled: Intersociety
& SBCHROs name Peter Obi, Ike Ekweremadu and 21 Others As Sponsors of
Insurgency of the Pro Biafran Groups. The wicked, scandalous and malicious
publication was published few hours ago this evening being 4th June
2017 by the Naija.com with one Kess
Ewubare as its author. The Naija.com
claimed that the highly malicious and scandalous story originally emanated
from Daily Times. The link to the scandalous story is here: https://www.naija.ng/1967-ekweremadu-peter-obi-sponsoring-biafra-movement-group-alleges.html.
The scandalous publication
of the Naija.com had criminally listed the following as its manufactured
sponsors of its imaginary “insurgency of the pro Biafran groups”: 1. Amnesty International, 2. Alaigbo
Development Foundation, 3. Igbo Youth Movement, 4. Ike Ekweremadu, 5. Peter Obi;
6. Joe Achuzia, 7. US Embassy in Nigeria, 8. Mike Akuoma, 9. Ugochukwu
Chinwuba, 10. Ikechukwu Okoye, 12. Prince Emeka Onyeso, 13. Okechukwu Nwanguma,
14. Aloysius Attah, 15. Ibuchukwu Ezike, 16. Tochukwu Ezeoke and his Igbo
Ekunie group, 17. Justus and Justine Ijeomas,18. Alex Olisa, Damian Ugwu, 19.
Damian Ogudike, Tools & Allied Market and its leadership, 20. Ekwenche
Group, USA, 21. Uche Asiegbu,22. George Onyeibe, 23. Samuel Kamanyoku and
others
We have few hours
ago been bombarded with calls from our friends, supporters, partners and others
concerned including our friends in the security establishments drawing our
prompt attention to the said scandalous statement. The calls came barely hours
after we deliberated on ongoing smear campaign by the same Igbo enemies to stampede
the Federal Government, the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court and Hon
Justice Binta Nyako into revocation of Citizen Nnamdi’s bail. We had during the
deliberation, also read and studied the ongoing similar smear campaign and
statement emanating from the 82nd Division of the Nigerian Army,
labeling IPOB as “transformed armed militias” and how “the Army escaped its
ambush”. The leadership of Intersociety led by Emeka Umeagbalasi was consequently
pleaded with to issue a statement in response to same.
We understand that the publishers of the
scandalous publication wickedly doctored and twisted our coalition’s statement
of 2nd June 2017, titled”: Why The Three New Faces (Obi, Kanu &
Ekweremadu) Of Socio-Political Reawakening In Igbo Land Must Not Be Found
Wanting. The statement was widely published as
authored by the web or online media and among those that published same is here:
http://newsrescue.com/south-east-activists-query-obianos-50000-two-suvs-gifts-nnamdi-kanu/
Our checks to ascertain the
gravity of doctoring and distortion of the referenced publication of ours by
the Naija.com and its primary source, if any, clearly showed that it was our commendation segment or part of the
statement that was wickedly doctored and twisted: We have in the statement in which a number of issues were
critically addressed singled out friendly groups and individuals including
media practitioners, diplomats, local and int’l human rights activists and
groups as well as other friendly academia groups, socio-cultural groups and
artisans like Keke and Okada riders; likewise some IPOB activists and traders; for special
commendation for volunteering useful human rights or humanitarian information
or speaking out against heinous rights abuses against innocent and unarmed pro
Biafra campaigners.
The trio of Peter Obi, Ike Ekweremadu
and Nnamdi Kanu were mentioned for speaking out at one point or the other
concerning the killing of unarmed and defenseless Igbo citizens particularly
the killing of innocent and unarmed members of IPOB and MASSOB. They were also
strongly advised and cautioned on account of their current status as 2016 distinguished Igbo personalities of the
year to always live aboard and identify with Igbo People and their genuine cause
of Igbo Emancipation.
For the avoidance of doubt, the commendation segment or part of our
statement under reference is reproduced as follows: The
following are worthy of commendation for their priceless and immeasurable roles
in the human rights, humanitarian, research, documentation and media advocacy
aspects of the nonviolent pro Biafra campaigns in Nigeria so far. They are
Amnesty Int’l, SBCHROs, Intersociety, Alaigbo Development Foundation, Igbo
Youth Movement, Ike Ekweremadu, Peter Obi, Joe Achuzia, US Embassy in Nigeria,
Mike Akuoma, Ugochukwu Chinwuba, Ikechukwu Okoye, Clifford Iloanya, Prince
Emeka Onyeso, Okechukwu Nwanguma, Aloysius Attah, Ibuchukwu Ezike, Tochukwu
Ezeoke and his Igbo Ekunie group, Justus and Justine Ijeomas, Alex Olisa, Damian Ugwu, Damian Ogudike, Tools &
Allied Market and its leadership, Ekwenche Group, USA, Uche Asiegbu, George
Onyeibe, Samuel Kamanyoku.
Others are Isaac Umunna and his News Express Online, Daniel and Tim
Elombah and their Elomba Reports, Madam Aziza Uko and her Trent Online, Emeka
Odugwu and his Odogwu Blog, Chidi Opara and his Chidiopara Reports, Henry
Oduenyi and his Nigerian Voice, James Ezema and his Street Reporters,
Naija.Com, Nairaland, Barrister Chioma Kate Unini and her Nigerian Lawyer
Online, Mazi Odera, Uchenna Madu,
Barristers Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Chuks Muoma (SAN), Emmanuel Onyejena and his
Allnewsandreports.
The rest are Chinwe Umeche, Uzochukwu Oguejiofor, Obianuju Joy Igboeli,
Florence Akubilo, Ndidiamaka Bernard; the Galaxy TV and its Southeast crew,
Minaj TV, Vanguard Newspaper, Innocent Anaba and his InosReport, Leonard
Sobechi of Guardian Newspaper, Senator Iroegbu and Dave Eleke of This Day
Newspaper, Today Online, Uncova Online, the Authority Newspaper, the Premium
Times, Emmanuel Mayah, Mary Ann Onwuchekwa, Anita Foster, Tony Okafor, the
Independent Newspaper, Champion Newspaper, Alphonsus Nweze, Cyprain Ebele, to
mention but a few.
The purpose of their commendation
was also clearly mentioned and they are: “their
priceless and immeasurable roles in the human rights, humanitarian, research,
documentation and media advocacy aspects of the nonviolent pro Biafra campaigns
in Nigeria so far”. Peter Obi and Ike Ekweremadu were commended for
speaking out in several public forums against the massacre of scores of pro
Biafra activists and other supporters of the IPOB campaigns as well as their
several calls for the release of Nnamdi Kanu and other detained pro Biafra
campaigners.
The US Embassy was commended
because of its periodic concerns and enquiries strictly on human rights and
humanitarian situations and concerns as they concern the Federal Government’s
poor handling of the nonviolent pro Biafra campaigns. Amnesty Int’l was
commended for its dogged efforts at ensuring justice for victims of anti Biafra
campaigns’ violent crackdowns by Nigerian security forces. The likes of
Barristers Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Chuks Muoma (SAN), Chinwe Umeche, etc are known
members of IPOB/Nnamdi Kanu’s legal team who have assisted us in the area of
research and documentation leading to their inclusion in our commendation
segment of the statement.
Barristers Florence Akubilo,
Obianuju Igboeli and Ndidiamaka Bernard are known key volunteers of
Intersociety. Damian Ugwu, Ibuchukwu Ezike, Damian Ogudike, Justus Ijeoma,
Justine Ijeoma, Okechukwu Nwanguma, Alex Olisa, Aloysius Attah etc are well
known human rights activists. Their roles in human rights, humanitarian,
research and documentation aspects of anti Biafra campaigns’ violent crackdowns
were deeply appreciated leading to their names being singled out for
commendation. Comrade Okechukwu Nwanguma, for instance, is the national
coordinator of the Network on Police Reforms in Nigeria or NOPRIN, likewise
Comrade Ibuchukwu Ezike who is the Executive Director of the Civil Liberties
Organization. Comrade Aloysius Attah is the present Chairman of the Southeast
Zone of the CLO.
The likes of Clifford Iloanya,
George Onyeibe, etc also assisted us immeasurably with useful information
during our various human rights interventions. The likes of Mike Akuoma,
Ugochukwu Chinweuba, Samuel Kamanyoku, etc are traders who assisted us with
useful grassroots and linking information during our several visits and
locations of hospitals and clinics where shot and wounded and slain pro Biafra
campaigners and other slain and wounded innocent citizens were kept.
The names and owners of the media
outfits singled out for commendation in our commendation
segment are those who published our advocacy reports connected to grievous
human rights violations by Nigerian security forces in their grossly poor management
of the pro Biafra agitation. All those media practitioners mentioned published our
reports free of charge till date.
Above all, the Judgment of the
Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, presided over by Hon Justice Binta
Murtala Nyako, to the effect that “IPOB is not an unlawful organization or
society” still subsists till date and has not been set aside.
It therefore shocks and surprises
us as what the Naija.com and its team wants to achieve by drawing a battle line
with organizations and persons whose human rights advocacy mandates in Nigeria
are widely known and clearly defined including Amnesty Int’l and US Embassy in
Nigeria; by magisterially, wickedly, maliciously, scandalously and wickedly
labeling them “terrorism financiers and collaborators”. While we are not
surprised a bit at such deadly antics, our purpose of issuing this late night rebuttal
statement is to disabuse the minds of un-attentive
public and overzealous members of the security establishments to take
immediate note.
We shall be meeting soonest to
discuss further actions to be taken against the publishers of the Naija.com and
others who acted at the behest or instance of the named malicious publishers;
for having the audacity or effrontery to doctor and twist our clearly stated
and spelt out statement of 2nd June 2017. At the appropriate time,
the named wicked corporate and individual citizens will legally, lawfully and
actionably be made to tell the law and man how
Amnesty Int’l, Intersociety, SBCHROs, US Embassy, Alaigbo Dev Foundation,
Galaxy TV, Vanguard Newspaper, Guardian Newspaper, the named human rights
activists, etc have become sponsors and collaborators of insurgency of pro
Biafran groups or terrorism in Nigeria or any part thereof.
