A socio-political organization
with branches in all Igbo speaking states, the Igbo National Council, INC, has
berated the President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government of Nigeria over
its poor handling of the security challenges ravaging parts of the country.
Comrade Chilos Godsent, National
President of the group, in a statement signed and made available to newsmen on
Tuesday morning, came hard on the Buhari-led administration and heads of
security agencies over the way “they were pampering the terrorist group called
Miyetti Allah”.
According to the statement, “With
recent inflammatory statements and hate speeches credited to the leadership of
the Miyetti Allah, against the Igbo race in Nigeria since the formal
inauguration swearing-in of President Muhammadu Buhari for his second term, it
has become very necessary that the federal government of Nigeria declare
Miyetti Allah, a terrorist organization and immediately order the Inspector
General of Police to arrest and prosecute them with immediate effects as their
statement to attack and invade the South East region of Nigeria is capable of
igniting an ethnic war.
“The Igbo National Council,(INC),
will take every proactive step to resist and defend the igbo territories
against any form of attack, aggression or invasion by group in whatever disguise
or name. The orchestrated unholy conspiracies and gang up against the igbo race
in Nigeria must be put to stop”.
The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders
Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, has denied recent reports, in which it was
quoted as threatening to soon attack the five South-eastern states over the
purported stubbornness of their governors.
Chairman of the group in the
South-East, AIhaji Gidado Sidikki, who briefed journalists in Awka during a
short prayer to mark the Eid-el-fitr celebration for Muslims in the city, said
that the reports ascribed to him, in which he was quoted to have said that
states of the South-east zone would be attacked by herders, were blatant
falsehood.
