The Pan Nigerian President of Igbo Extraction Coalition (PANPIEC) 2023 Igbo Presidency Strategy Team has condemned the beheading of Chief Chizu, the Sole Administrator of Ideato North Local Government Area on the 22nd of January, 2023 by Secessionists bent on frustrating the 2023 elections.
PANPIEC sees the murder as gruesome, despicable, and abominable, and `does not in any way represent the Igbo race .
PANPIEC warns that Igbo commit atrocities and blame the Fulani, Hausa and Yoruba will not help the security situation in the South East.
PANPIEC warns that if the culprits and their sponsors are not contained and deradicalized, soon South East will be turned to a huge killing field, and politicians will relocate to Abuja and Lagos.
PANPIEC warns Ndigbo that the murder of the Local Government boss and the silence of Igbo elites are being misunderstood as signs of support for secession, and the negative reactions to it will manifest during the elections.
PANPIEC asks Ndigbo to condemn acts of barbarism and warns that a repeat of such will send wrong signals, threaten and demarket the Igbo Presidency project.
