Obi Of Onitsha Clears The Air On Protest Claims

Obi of Onitsha Speaks Out Against Protest Rumors

Listen up, everyone. There's been some chatter going around, but let me set the record straight. Igwe Alfred Achebe, the Obi of Onitsha, has officially dismissed claims that he's planning to lead a massive protest in Abuja on March 21, 2025, in support of detained Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu. This is a big deal, and it’s important to get the facts right.

In a statement issued by his Chief of Staff, Osita Anionwu, on Thursday, the Obi made it crystal clear that these reports are nothing more than false and misleading information. He wants the public to take a step back, breathe, and not fall for the hype. These claims are simply not true.

Obi’s Current Whereabouts

Here's the deal: the Obi of Onitsha isn’t even in the country right now. He's currently in the United States attending the United Nations Conference on the Status of Women (CSW69). So, how could he possibly be organizing or leading a protest? The timing just doesn’t add up. In fact, he won’t be returning to Nigeria until March 26, well after the alleged protest date.

The statement from the palace reads, “The Palace of the Obi of Onitsha (Ime Obi Onicha) has been made aware of a false social media report alleging that His Majesty has instructed Igbo youths to mobilise for a massive demonstration in Abuja on March 21, 2025, in support of Nnamdi Kanu’s court appearance.”

And here’s the kicker: “It also falsely claims that the Obi of Onitsha will personally lead the protest. We categorically deny this report. His Majesty did not issue any such directive. The Obi of Onitsha is presently in New York, USA, attending the United Nations Conference on the Status of Women (CSW69) and will not return to Nigeria until March 26.”

Commitment to Peaceful Resolution

Now, let’s talk about the bigger picture. The Obi and his team are all about finding a peaceful resolution to Nnamdi Kanu’s situation. They’re not looking to stir up trouble or create chaos. Instead, they’re advocating for Kanu’s release through proper channels. This is a group of leaders who truly believe in dialogue and reconciliation.

The Joint Body of the South East Council of Traditional Rulers and Representatives of Igbo Archbishops and Bishops on Peace and Reconciliation, led by the Obi of Onitsha, remains steadfast in its mission. However, they’re urging the public to rely solely on official sources for credible information. In their own words, “The Joint Body of the South East Council of Traditional Rulers and Representatives of Igbo Archbishops and Bishops on Peace and Reconciliation, led by the Obi of Onitsha, remains steadfast in advocating for Nnamdi Kanu’s release. However, we urge the public to ignore the false reports circulating online.”

So, there you have it. The Obi of Onitsha has spoken, and the message is clear: don’t believe everything you read online. Stick to the facts, and let’s all work together for a peaceful resolution.
