Speaking to newsmen in Abuja on Friday, November 25, 2022, just after the launch of Gen. Chikadibia Obiakor’s book, ‘Rough Road To Peace,’ at National Defense College Nigeria FCT, Abuja.

Igboayaka expressed regret that Nigeria had apparently failed to achieve peace “as a result of injustice and marginalization against Biafrans and Ndigbo in general.”
Comrade Igboayaka mentioned “There is no other way to achieve peace in Nigeria but through justice, fairness, and equity among the many ethnic nationalities or geopolitical zones.
In response to the long imprisonment of IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu, Igboayaka stated: “Since 57 years, Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB have represented the injustice against Ndigbo, and such injustice and marginalization have resulted from the agitations of MASSOB, IPOB, and other self-determination groups in the Biafra territory.
As a result, Igboayaka urged Lt. Gen. Obikako to mobilize all other retired military generals of Igbo extraction and work collaboratively with the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Prof. George Obiozor, to find a long-term solution to Kanu’s confinement.

He, on the other hand, expressed absolute displeasure with the apparent failure of Igbo elders to instill decent discipline in the adolescents, which he said had resulted in the latter taking to enforce their independence, notwithstanding all peculiarities.
“It is now a call to duty that Lt. Gen. Chikadibia Obiakor should mobilize other retired Igbo generals and join Prof George Obiozor on the political solution of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu case with federal government of Nigeria.
“It’s unfortunate that Igbo elders have failed in their responsibility to guard the youth, such colossal failure led to youth taking up course to champion their freedom from the contraption called Nigeria.
Speaking further, the enraged Igbo youth leader, in a passionate appeal, urged all Igbo who had served as Generals in the Nigerian Army to engage in peace talks with President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Mohammadu Buhari, to expedite Kanu’s release.

Hear him: “It’s now timely, that all the retired generals of Igbo extraction that have served Nigeria to rise and quench the fire that will erupt in Nigeria by federal government disobeying it’s Court to release Nnamdi Kanu, Igboayaka stated.
At this critical stage in Nigeria’s collapse, fellow Retired Generals of Igbo extraction should pay a peacekeeping visit to their retired colleague, President Mohammadu Buhari, to seal the immediate release of Nnamdi Kanu for national peace and unity.
