The Personal Assistant to
President Muhammadu Buhari on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie, has said that
Nigerians should shower encomium rather than curses on the Nigerian army for
rescuing people of the Southeast region from the antics of “a very sick-little
Nnamdi Kanu”.
According to her, the Indigenous
People of Biafra, IPOB, has posed a threat to Ndigbo and all the South-
Easterners who can no longer run their individual activities without fear.
She stated this in a detailed
statement published on her Facebook page titled: ‘Python Dance 2 ~ Nigerians
are Drumming for fhe Army.’
Onochie said: “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. 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, she said.
“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.”
