Following the accusation of being involved in the proposed hunger protest leveled against Peter Obi by 
Bayo Onanuga, Association of Igbo Town Unions (ASITU) has said that Igbos will hold the presidential aid responsible if anything happens to Peter Obi.

Bayo Onanuga, President Bola Tinubu’s spokesman, had accused Obi of planning mayhem in Nigeria. Onanuga had also painted Obi as a failed presidential candidate who is frustrated, stressing that he should be held responsible for whatever crisis that would emanate from the action.

This development had sparked off wide condemnation from different quarters. 

In a chat with TBE Magazine, Chief Emeka Diwe, the President General of Association of Igbo Town Unions (ASITU) while reacting to Onanuga's allegation, warned the Presidential aid to be  mindful of his utterances and should desist from making comments that are capable of causing  crisis in the already tensed country. 
He wondered why a Presidential aid who should be busy finding solutions to the plight of the people is engaging in  propaganda and false allegations. 

"It is disappointing that Bayo Onanuga has left the real thing and is now chasing shadows. Why will he be levelling such heavy accusation on Peter Obi? Does it mean that Onanuga does not know that many Nigerian families cannot afford one meal a day? Nigerians are wiser, gone are the days when people are easily distracted. Onanuga is not helping the administration he is part of. I had expected him to be part of Nigeria's solution instead of adding more problems to it".

"Patriotic Nigerians are looking for ways to bring Nigeria out of this mess and all he could do is to engage in baseless propaganda. IGBOS will hold Onanuga responsible if anything happens to our son, Peter Obi. The worst anyone could do now is to add more problems to the existing ones. I therefore ask Onanuga to carefully choose his words". Diwe said. 

 Also in response to the allegations, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in Nigeria’s 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has initiated legal action against the Special Adviser to the President on Communication and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, with his legal team demanding a retraction and N5 billion in damages for a defamatory publication that they claim has significantly harmed Obi’s reputation.


Young Nigerians are planning nationwide protests from  August 1, 2024 to demand economic and political reforms, but the government is using all its resources to suppress them.

The young Nigerians have been mobilising and organising on social media and many have temporarily adopted the #EndBadGovernance slogan.

However, the government has been using several schemes, including meetings with traditional and religious leaders, as well as threats by security agencies to prevent the protests from happening or prevent them from turning violent if they hold.

Maazi Nnamdi Kanu  IGBO TOWN UNIONS, PETER OBI, OTHERS REJECT LIFE IMPRISONMENT FOR KANU The Association of Igbo Town Unions (ASITU) has condemned the judgement of an Abuja court which sentenced Maazi Nnamdi Kanu to a life imprisonment, describing it as injustice and another show of marginalization against the Igbo nation. Reacting to the judgement over the weekend in Enugu, Chief Emeka Diwe, the President General of ASITU, lamented on how Igbos are being maltreated daily in Nigeria. He noted that Igbo leaders had on various occasions appealed to the federal government to release Kanu, and all to no avail.  The ASITU leader noted that the way things of Igbo concern are handled in Nigeria are quite different from other tribes, making the region continue to question whether they are part of Nigeria or not.  "Both in the eyes of the law and in the interest of peace and unity, Kanu's case should have been long resolved amicably. The federal government seems no...

DIWE TO PRESIDENT TINUBU - THE RULE OF LAW IS FAILING UNDER YOUR WATCH, RELEASE NNAMDI KANU  Chief Emeka Diwe, the President General of Association of Igbo Town Unions, (ASITU) has questioned the continued detention of Maazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra by Nigerian government, despite different court orders which have ordered his release, describing it as injustice against Ndigbo. Kanu who is facing terrorism charges at the Federal High Court Abuja, has been in detention since he was repatriated to Nigeria, from Kenya in June 2021, under controversial circumstances. The Court of Appeal, Abuja, on October 13, 2022, ruled that Maazi Nnamdi Kanu was extraordinarily renditioned to Nigeria in violation of the country’s extradition treaty and breach of his fundamental human rights. The court, therefore, struck out the terrorism charges filed against Maazi Kanu by the Nigerian government and ordered his release from the facility of the State Se...
