A chieftain of the Igbo socio-political organisation,
Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chuks Ibegbu, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to
engage Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Islamic
Movement in Nigeria, IMN, and other agitators in a roundtable discussion.
Ibegbu said Kanu would put an end to his agitations if
Buhari calls him to a father-son discussion.
Speaking with Dailypost, the former Deputy
National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze said Buhari should extend the same
gesture to IMN and other agitators in a bid to stop the push for secession.
According to Ibegbu: “Buhari does not want to sit and talk to agitators. A good leader will call those with grievances for discussion. Instead of using the police and army to fight your home citizens and killing them, call them to a round table discussion.
“Buhari should call Nnamdi Kanu saying look “you are my son
what is your problem? Can’t we build a better Nigeria? How do you want Biafra?’
Kanu will say, “father, this is how I want Biafra’ and Buhari will say no,
let’s have a round table discussion to solve this problem.’
“Let me tell you, if Buhari does this, Nnamdi Kanu will see
him as a father that cares for his son and would stop all these things. Then he
will meet with El-Zakzaky’s people, telling them, ‘I know you want an Islamic
state but it’s not possible in a nation like Nigeria. However, you can have
your religious freedom, and I will release your leader. You will see that
El-Zakzaky and his men will calm down.’
“Then Buhari will come to Boko Haram, telling them ‘look, we
can’t have an Islamic state in amercenariesic group, I can give you amnesty’.
“If they refuse and opt to continue fighting, then he should
invite mercinaries to crush them.”
