Amidst the unfathomable economic challenges plaguing our nation from famine to insecurity and the depreciation of the Naira in the forex market, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has vehemently, denounced any insinuations or calls for a coup d’état.

According to the foremost Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ndigbo categorically rejected and will never endorse any coup attempt in Nigeria.

The Igbo Apex group disclosed this in a statement signed and made available to Journalists by its Secretary General Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro on Tuesday.

The Igbo group also declared their unwavering loyalty to President Bola Tinubu government and cautioned the fear mongers instigating disunion, discord, and economic sabotage to redress from their action.

The statement reads “On behalf of the Igbo community, we vow unwavering loyalty to the democratically elected Federal government under the esteemed leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Despite relentless pressures to incite Igbo protests against Tinubu, OHANAEZE NDIGBO unequivocally condemns the baseless rumours of coup plots. We caution the fearmongers instigating disunion, discord, and economic sabotage, emphasizing that Ndigbo repudiate such harmful behaviour.

“Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, the Secretary-General of OHANAEZE NDIGBO, staunchly asserts that Nigeria and Ndigbo crave political stability irrespective of the governing leadership. Supporting Tinubu’s success is in the best interests of the Igbo because they are industrious and self-sustaining.

History has shown that in times of political turmoil, Ndigbo suffered as vulnerable targets. Therefore, any political instability is certain to breed anarchy and chaos, worsening the plight of the long-suffering Nigerian populace”.

Isiguzoro also commended Nigeria Military for their unwavering commitment to maintaining peace, safeguarding the nation’s territorial integrity, and combating terrorism and insecurity challenges.

” Nigerians and Ndigbo applaud the military’s steadfast rejection of coup rumours and their pledge of loyalty to President Tinubu. OHANAEZE NDIGBO commends President Tinubu for implementing the Orosanye Reports to curtail the cost of governance.

“NDIGBO aspire to see a flourishing Nigeria under President Tinubu’s leadership, urging him to compel all branches of government to drastically reduce their remuneration and overhead costs. The ongoing protests are fueled by the stark disparity between the opulent lifestyles of the ruling elite and the austerity imposed on the citizenry.

“Nigerians and Ndigbo advocate for President Tinubu to explore joining the emerging economic bloc BRICS, following Egypt’s commendable lead in banning the use of dollars for trade.

This strategic move would fortify the Naira and end its exploitation. Ndigbo believes that President Tinubu possesses the capability to navigate Nigeria out of its present economic woes, advancing a nation where businesses thrive regardless of their location. As the backbone of the economy, Ndigbo stands ready to provide unwavering support for Tinubu’s success”.

Popular man of God Pastor Tunde Bakare has narrated how RCCG Senior Pastor Eunuch Adeboye advised him to pay his wife full salary after she quit her job.

Hear him:

“ Pastor Adeboye told me to be paying the full salary of my wife when she resigned from her bank job without telling me”.

“ When my wife told me she had resigned, I drove to my father-in -law’s house to report her but he told me that nothing concerns him with our marriage.

“I then drove straight to Redemption Camp to report her to Pastor Adeboye. I told him how my wife just resigned from her bank job without telling me and that I just started my chambers and we were just making it little by little and her salary would help us augment whatever I gave her.

“Pastor Adeboye’s response shocked me. He said, “ Wow,she did that on her own! Don’t u think that’s a great thing to do? She did it to focus attention on your child. If all women would do that Nigeria would be a better place. He then told me that apart from house allowance, I must be paying her the salary she earned at the bank since she resigned to start working in my house and taking care of the children.”

“I wasn’t happy with the counsel because I was scared of how I would cope as the sole breadwinner of the house. The Holy Spirit then took me to Isaiah 54:5 and showed me a Scripture I will never forget,” I,the Lord your God,your maker, I am your husband. The Holy Spirit then said if I am your husband, treat your wife the way you want me to treat you! “

“I was sober and I prayed.The next month instead of giving her 375 Naira, her salary in the bank, I gave her 500 Naira and I also gave another 500 Naira for house allowance. It has grown since then!”
