Lauretta Onochie, Personal
Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Social Media, has called on
Nigerians to thank the Army, instead of vilifying their efforts, for saving
Igbos from Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), who
she described as being sick, childish and immature.
In a post on her Facebook page,
Onochie stated that Kanu’s IPOB group had terrorized south-easterners to the
point where they could not carry out their normal activities without fear.
Onochie further insinuated that
the IPOB leader had ties with the country (whose name she did not mention)
where arms and ammunition seized by the Nigerian Custom originated from.
In the post titled 'PYTHON DANCE 2 - NIGERIANS
ARE DRUMMING FOR THE ARMY,' she stated: "I now understand why Ohaneze
Ndigbo has been unable to stand on solid ground but rather has been on sandy
soil regarding Nnamdi Kanu. What is driving their stand?
"I believe they are being
tossed about by every wind of doctrine because of fear of reprisals from little
Nnamdi Kanu's boys.
In 2015, at the beginning of the Buhari
administration, and following the example of Anioma people of Nigeria, other
ethnic groups in the South South, and socio-cultural organisations in the South
East, including Ohaneze, distanced themselves from the actions of notorious
Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB.
"Not many people doubted
that IPOB was a merchant of terror that tried to use fear, abuses, outright
lies, manipulation of the truth and insults to colonise Ndigbo in something
that is akin to modern day slavery.
"It is common knowledge but
hush hush that South Easterners were being forced to fly the Biafran flag and
to wear biafra memorabilia. There have been threats to lives and properties
across the South East, and threats of rape to women who shun their hate
campaign.
"For starters, Ohaneze
Ndigbo is an association that was registered in Nigeria to represent the
interests of Ndigbo of Nigeria. That is why it is called Ohaneze Ndigbo and not
Ohaneze Ndi-IPOB or Ohaneze Ndi Biafra!
"How has the Ohaneze helped terrified
Ndigbo who are living in fear for their lives and properties in the South East
of Nigeria? They haven't because they themselves have been terrified.
"I have confirmed, via personal
interviews of South Easterners who live in Onitsha and Aba, that there was a
great sigh of relief when the Nigerian Army was seen in the region.
"Ndigbo who live in their ancestral homes
in the South East, are for the first time in two years, breathing a sigh of
relief and freedom.
"You see, little Nnamdi Kanu, a college
dropout, is immature and childish. The South East governors know and appreciate
this fact. This was why he was asked to come with his father to attend a
meeting with them.
"If Nnamdi Kanu needs his
father to attend a meeting of leaders, how mature are those who see him not
just as their leader, but as their God?
"These mostly uneducated,
half baked and uncouth youngsters, went about the South East, intimidating
ordinary Ndigbo, threatening them with death and violence if they refused to
kiss Nnamdi Kanu's toes.
"If the IPOB leader and his cohorts
learned a good lesson from The Python dance {1} by turning away from their
ways, there would be no need for a second Python dance. When your brother is in
trouble, the least you could do is to support him.
"The Python dance is not
just for the freedom of Ohaneze, so they can have a sound footing, and advocate
fearlessly for ordinary Ndigbo; but also for ordinary Ndigbo, so they can
associate freely.
"No one should have to be in
danger or live in fear for not supporting a criminal agenda in a free country.
"As an Igbo woman put it, 'If Ndigbo need
to renegotiate their membership of Nigeria, it will be a discussion and that
discussion will not be led by disenchanted politicians and definitely not by
Nnamdi Kanu.'
"The Nigerian Army, has come
to the South East to exercise it's duty towards Ndigbo who have been held
captive by the fear, not of some foreign aggressors, but of some youngsters who
act under the manipulations and brain-washing by one who is delusional.
"Anyone who suffers from delusions of
grandeur or megalomania should not be left running wild among law-abiding
people.
"I do not understand those
who are calling on the Nigerian Army to stop the Python dance. Nnamdi Kanu is
running an illegal government in our nation, complete with his own Army,
Police, Secret service, Anthem, coat of arms, passport and currency. If that is
not an affront on our collective existence, I don't know What is.
"Nnamdi Kanu appears to have
a tie with a country where arms and ammunition seized by the Nigerian Custom
originated from.
"Nigerians and in particular, Ndigbo in
this case, deserve to carry out their lawful engagements, without fear of
molestation.
"We must therefore, thank
the Nigerian Army for coming to the aid of Nigerians in the South East and
safeguarding them from the antics of a very sick young man.
"God bless Nigeria."
