Ndi Igbo Youth United Forum Press Release June ,3rd 2021 PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI’S GENOCIDAL THREATS AGAINST NDIGBO


By Wilson Macaulay

President Buhari’s Tweet of yesterday, wherein he referered to the horrible happenings of 1967-70; and threatened to repeat same to Ndigbo, leaves a lot to be desired. It simply reveals a DARK MINDSET!

In this harrowing period of Nigeria's existence, utterances like that, should be avoided at all costs, but unfortunately, it eventually emanated from the Presidency, a very troubling trend that calls for urgent attention.


The Youth Wing of Ndigbo United Forum, a pan Igbo sociopolitical organization, frowns at such vituperation against Ndigbo, regardless of who is involved. We will not take such unwarranted remarks from the presidency. 


In as much as we don’t endorse the criminal activities of the Unknown Gun Men in South East and some parts of South South – Igbo lands, we also need to make it categorically clear that all the unfortunate developments were encouraged by the twin lackluster attitude of the Federal Government towards the rampaging activities of the killer herdsmen; and the visible sidelining of Ndigbo in this administration of Muhammadu Buhari. 


If the Federal Government had been active, faithful and fair, to her Constitutional responsibilities, across Nigeria, there would not have been any agitation or criminality anywhere in Nigeria. Buhari needs to clearly understand that his nepotistic and selective attitudes to issues of national matter, has been the most effective factor that’s fueling all the agitations across Southern Nigeria, not just the South East. 

His mindless Tweets, which was a clear Threat to Igbo existence in Nigeria, was one foul play taken too extreme. What he was thinking while tweeting the divisive and genocidal lines, will take every sane mind an eternity to comprehend. Is he planning to embark on a campaign that will exterminate Ndigbo? Or was he just being ridiculously controversial? Whichever one it was, it defies all sense of civility and sanity. 


At this point in our national history, where all hands must be on deck to contain all the national issues from snowballing into complete breakdown of Law and Order, it is most worrisome that the president would be the one beating drums of war. 

Ndigbo can never be intimidated. We would not take any unprovoked threats from anyone. We are a very peaceful tribe, but always ready to defend ourselves from all agents of barbaric destruction. 


It is with a great pleasure that we welcome the timely intervention of Twitter, which resulted in deleting of the barbaric and genocidal tweet. We now call on the international community to urgently wade into Nigeria’s case, for the threats reeled out yesterday by president Buhari, is already been effected in some parts of Igbo land. 

For the sake of Peace and Reconciliation, we call on the Presidency to quickly tender profuse apologies to Ndigbo. 

*Igwebuike!*


Signed;

PTI Defends Its Reputation Against Misleading Sahara Media Report By Wilson Macaulay Effurun, Delta State July 12 2025 The Management of the prestigious Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, has vehemently refuted a sensational and malicious report published by Sahara Reporters on July 10, 2025, which alleged that students of the foremost oil and gas institution study in “flooded classrooms and snake-infested hostels” despite a ₦39 billion budget. Describing the publication as “baseless, mischievous, and an orchestrated attempt to malign the integrity of the institution,” PTI Management said the report is not only factually inaccurate but also a deliberate attack on the hard-earned reputation and progress of the institution under its current leadership. In a strongly worded statement issued on Friday, the management declared: > “There are absolutely no flooded classrooms or snake-infested hostels within the Institute. These claims are complete fabrications devoid of any evidence or truth.” Management further challenged Sahara Reporters to produce any verifiable photographic or video proof to substantiate its claims. > “If such conditions exist as alleged, Sahara Reporters should have no difficulty presenting concrete evidence. Until then, their report remains a reckless misrepresentation aimed at misleading the public.” PTI clarified that all its lecture halls, laboratories, workshops, and hostels are structurally sound, properly ventilated, electrically powered, and routinely maintained. The Institute prides itself on maintaining a safe and conducive academic environment for learning, innovation, and professional development in the oil and gas sector. The management in clear terms described the publication as the work of “unscrupulous elements seeking to sow discord and cast aspersions on the steady infrastructural development PTI has recorded in recent years.” As a center of excellence in petroleum training and manpower development, PTI has, under its current administration, seen remarkable transformation in terms of physical infrastructure, digital modernization, and student welfare programs. The Institute continues to attract local and international recognition for its cutting-edge research and high-impact training curriculum. While assuring stakeholders, parents, and the general public of its unwavering commitment to the safety and welfare of its students, the management reiterated its call for responsible journalism and urged media practitioners to verify facts before rushing to publication. “We remain focused on our mandate and will not be distracted by smear campaigns designed to derail our progress.”
