Dear Reuben Abati,
Just as you have never met Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, I
have never met you. I only started hearing your name during the government of
Ex President Goodluck Jonathan.
I have really not taken much
notice of you until your recent open letter to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). I am hopeful this letter will get to you
wherever you are.
As the special Adviser on Media
and Publicity to Ex president Goodluck Jonathan, I never really wrote anything
ill about you.
Even when EFCC arrested you for
alleged mismanagement of the nation's funds during former President Goodluck
Jonathan's administration, I didn't border myself much to shout 'LOOTER'
because I know what EFCC stands for under APC government led by President
Muhammadu Buhari.
Sir, I am not here to talk about
your corruption charges, neither am I here to talk about how you failed your
President and made him look like he performed very low in the eyes of
Nigerians, until he left office.
I am only here to give justice to
the tiring and boring letter you wrote to the courageous and uncompromising
leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. My leader, our
leader.
After reading your long letter to
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, I came face to face with a man who is eager to side with the
oppressor against the oppressed.
A man who could not come out
straight in mocking the oppressed, but chose to but hide behind the play of
words to serve his masters well. But fortunately enough, we the Biafrans are
smarter than you.
We were able to decode your words
and whom you are working for. We know you are standing with every other person
but not IPOB nor Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
We know that since Ex-President
Jonathan lost 2015 election, you have been nichodemusically fighting tooth and
nail to find yourself in this APC led government. You were the first to openly
abandon the one that made you whom you are today.
We were able to point out the
intent of your letter to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. You tried to force gullible
Nigerians to accept that President Buhari has decimated IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu.
You wanted to sell the lie that
Nnamdi Kanu's supporters and his trusted IPOB followers have deserted him. This
you did by saying that since Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was attacked, Igbo land have
remained as if nothing happened. You made it sound as if Igbos have rejected
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and referendum for Biafra.
Sir, I can see that Igbos really
disappointed you. The bloodbath you saw wasn't enough for you. I know, you
really wanted all Igbos to go to war immediately so that the support we enjoy
from international community will be punctured.
The truth is that this is 2017,
and not 1967. We are not going to answer rebels this time around, and no one,
not even you will make us answer that.
Sir, if you must work for Buhari
against the oppressed, at least you should do that openly and be proud of it.
Take responsibility and stop being a hypocrite. You see, in as much as I have
no single respect for the five governors of south eastern states, I still
respect them more than you.
You know why? These governors
made their stand known. They were not hypocrites like you. They were very open
in their support for President Buhari over their own people, people they swore
to protect, people that gave them their votes.
Their proscribing of IPOB,
without condemning the Nigerian military's Python dance that led to the inhuman
torture and killing of their youths like mosquitoes and their support for the
senseless tagging of IPOB as terrorist group by President Buhari's APC
government differentiates them from you. As bad as their actions were against
their own people, they were not hypocritical about it.
But you hid under useless words
of praises to mock a man that have stood against all odds to question how bad
things are done in Nigeria. Something you had the opportunity of doing for a
whooping five years, but lack the courage and political will to do.
Reading the replies from your
Facebook page I can't but marvel at the gullibility of Nigerians. Some were
actually praising you. This group of Nigerians were not able to see what you
came for.
They were blinded by the subtle
praises you showered on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, without seeing the damage your letter
did to the person of Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB in general. I am proud of those that
were able to see that you only came to mock and not to praise.
"Some people said you were
called the lion, but when trouble came, you were the first to run away from the
zoo". Who and who is saying this to you if not yourself? "You had
boasted that you will deal with any invading force from Abuja.
You also said it would be Biafra
or Death. But when death came calling in the shape of operation Python dance
II, your enemies insisted that you should have waited". Who is the enemy
here if not you Sir? You have shown how good you are at twisting words. I give
it to you Sir. You are supper intelligent. But we caught you red handed here.
We know that you are disappointed
that up till now the Nigerian government has not brought out Nnamdi Kanu's
lifeless body. Nnamdi Kanu has been a terror to people like you that have held
Nigeria down. Nothing have shakened Nigeria like the fearless and courageous
Nnamdi Kanu. That's why all of you wants him dead.
His death will be the greatest
good news leaders like you crave for. A good man with conscience should be
mocking Nigerian government who unleashed terror on armless youths and not on a
man that seeks for a change in the status quo. A man that have the interest of
the common man at heart.
That you even tried to use your
letter to create division and suspicion among the leadership of IPOB shows how
desperate you are to impress your masters. That you now tell Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
to fear people who have given their lives, taken bullets for him and to now
fear them is very pathetic and mischievous.
Unless you are indirectly telling
us that Nigerian military who are currently holding Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wants to
poison him.
You said that Biafra Security
Service are no where to be seen, that Igbos have deserted Kanu. That we have
thrown away our Biafra flags. What an insult to all of us. Who ever throw away
his country's flag? Who? Sir, the unfortunate thing is that people like you
always think that everybody are like them.
That is why mad people are always
quick to call others mad, and a snitch thinks everybody snitches. It is known
to everybody that more than 95% of Igbos are still behind Nnamdi Kanu.
When next you want to know what
IPOB is saying and the events concerning Biafra, go to Family Writers Press
(FWP) and stop forming your opinion out of people like you, who can sell even
their boss, for political relevance. The only gold digger I see here is you
Sir.
Let it be known that since the genocidal
invasion of southeast by Nigerian military as ordered by President Muhammadu
Buhari, IPOB supporters and sympathizers have tripled, both local and
international. So for somebody to say that IPOB supporters have dwindled is
just no other thing than being mischievous.
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains our
leader, we listen to no senator, no king and no governors except Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu. You have no right to speak on whether IPOB have deserted Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
because you are not a Biafran nor IPOB member.
Biafrans have not been going
about their businesses like nothing happened, just like you projected. Biafrans
have felt the pain and have remained strong. Our children goes to school
bearing in mind that their lives stands in the precipice.
They go to school with every
alertness, knowing that a fighter jet can cross at anytime.
Their fathers have given them
lectures about bunkers, and they now know what to do, just like their
forefathers did in 1967.
We are preparing burials and
burying our many youths that died prematurely in the hands of Nigerian
soldiers.
You cannot stay in Abeokuta,
Abuja or Lagos and claim to know how we in the southeast goes about our
businesses. We actually go out these days hating Nigeria more, with more
greater determination to exit Nigeria.
We have a smart leader whose
actions and inaction rattles the Nigerian government. A leader that have
refused to be bought and controlled by the Fulani controlled federal government
of Nigeria. We now have a leader who God himself sent to us just like Moses.
We will courageously walk in line
with his instructions until we walk into Biafra the Land of the Rising Sun.
Yours sincerely
Elochukwu Nicholas Ohagi.

You belong to the dust bin of history. you and your ilks like those old bigades of Newswatch, Ray Ekpu and Dan Agbese who try to look for relevance and political appointment by turning the truth on its head. Shame on all of you who criticised, found yourself in government but achieved nothing, came out and tried to reclaim your significance again. No way.Get behind us you satan. JAY 2, ABUJA.
