The
spiritual leader of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, His Holiness
Olumba Olumba Obu has prayed against the actualization of Biafra
sovereignty, insisting that it will not succeed since God has not
approved it.
“His
Holiness Olumba Olumba Obu of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has
for the umpteenth time spoken against the ongoing agitation for the
sovereignty of Biafra, insisting that it will not succeed since God has
not approved of it.”
Consequently,
Olumba ordered his faithful to sing around the streets of Aba and pray
for peace and unity of the country, saying Biafra “should disappear
because it is not in the agenda of God.”
The
spiritual leader announced that he was going ahead to lead his large
congregation to Owerri, the heart of Ibo land, this week where he will
meet with major stakeholders in the Southeast region, including
governors and youth leaders.
Dr
Thomas Commander, an aide to the spiritual leader and international
coordinating chairman of the bodies organising the visit said not less
than 10,000, mostly youths will accompany the spiritual leader to Aba.
In
a statement, Eyo Charles said that Brotherhood All Youths Assembly
(BAYA), a mega youth arm of the spiritual organisation will use the
opportunity of their leader’s visit to stage their own youth conference
which is aimed at cautioning youth against laziness, violence,
instigation, promiscuity, and to support youth education and
empowerment.
According
to him, the spiritual leader’s visit will bring about greater peace and
understanding as he will meet with all the Southeast stakeholders and
governors.
He
said “The 10,000 strong BAYA will stage a mammoth public solemn
procession across several major streets in Owerri, singing and praying
for peace in Ibo land and Nigeria as a whole.
“Few
weeks ago, a pan Igbo organisation, Igbo World Congress, headed by
former Biafran war lord, Col Joe Achuzia (rtd) who is one of Obu’s
teeming adherents, was in Calabar where they appealed to Olumba Obu for
his kind
“Towards
resolving the Biafra question, all Igbo leaders and youths under the
leadership of Achuzia also resolved to hold what they called Ibo Love
and Unity Feast, which occasion they aim to bring together many Igbo
interests.
