At last, the leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has abandoned his violent
struggle for the realisation of Biafra and called for a dialogue with the
Federal Government to end the agitation.
The IPOB leader through his
lawyers, Ifeanyi Ejiofor and Amoebi Nzelu, called for negotiation with the
Federal Government to end the agitation for self-governance.
Kanu, said to have escaped to
London by former Abia governor Orji Uzor Kalu was arrested and later granted
bail for allegations of treasonable felony, maintaining unlawful society,
illegal possession of items and many others.
The allegations against Nnamdi
Kanu also include a plot by the IPOB leader and some persons now at large to
cause crises that might force President Mohammed Buhari, to concede certain
parts of Nigeria to a purported Biafra Nation.
Kanu’s lawyers while reacting to
the Federal Government’s decision to release some members of the group it
arrested in February, said they were not opposed to talks with the government.
Mr Ejiofor said, “Nnamdi Kanu is
not averse to a political solution in resolving his present politically
orchestrated ordeal.
“He welcomes genuine political
solution to this case. Nnamdi Kanu has people of proven integrity and
impeccable character that will negotiate on his behalf, based on his demands
when communication on this effect is established.”
However, on the claims that the
Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND, was negotiating on
behalf of Kanu and IPOB, the lawyer said, “In the past few day, the media was
awash with news on negotiation going on between the Federal government and
members of MEND, where our client’s name (Nnamdi Kanu) conspicuously featured.
“It is on that note that we wish
to inform the general public that Nnamdi Kanu has no connection, contact, ties
or any kind of relationship with members of the MEND.
“As such MEND has no implied,
direct or express authority of Nnamdi Kanu to represent him or IPOB in any
purported negotiation going on between MEND and the Government.
“The general public is
accordingly advised to ignore, discountenance and disregard the falsehood been
peddled by MEND.”
