The Ohanaeze Ndigbo, together with South-East governors and ministers, has rejected the planned October 20 nationwide protest calling for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of IPOB.
In a statement signed by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro and Chief Chinyereze Thompson Ohia, the group said it has a duty to protect the peace and stability of the South-East and the country at large.
Ohanaeze described the protest, reportedly backed by Omoyele Sowore and Atiku Abubakar, as a political plot aimed at causing unrest and destabilizing the government of President Bola Tinubu.
The group warned that the planned protest could lead to violence similar to the EndSARS riots and urged Nigerians to avoid being misled.
