Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has apologised to elder statesman and Ijaw national leader, Chief Edwin Clark, over the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) offensive remarks against him.

Clark had said IPOB was dreaming to think that the South-South geo-political zone would join in the clamour for Biafra Republic.IPOB’s outbursts had attracted the attention of the Pan-Niger Delta Forum , which demanded an apology from Ndigbo to the elder statesman or it would view the organisation as tactically supporting IPOB, a development it said, might be injurious to both groups.

“Old age is so treasured that the eldest man in a village or community, in most cases, enjoys community burial and funeral rites at death. The elderly are deemed to represent the Igbo ancestors on earth and thus are often celebrated. The group said Clark remained one of the few detribalised Nigerians with an unassailable love for the Igbo, insisting that he had demonstrated an intense passion for the Igbo in several ways.

The Ohanaeze Ndigho cautioned the youths to henceforth, refrain from remarks capable of putting the Igbo relationship with their valued neighbours in avoidable distress.
