Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, has named Senate President Ahmed Lawan and the Attorney-General of the
Federation, Abubakar Malami as two northerners against restructuring of
Nigeria.
Recall that the Attorney-General of the Federation and
Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, had last week warned the governors
of the Southern region against ban on open grazing in the region.
The Minister described the position of the Southern
Governors as “indeed dangerous.”
According to the Attorney General, the Governors have no right to prohibit the liberty and freedom of movement of any Nigerian, adding that their declaration was as good as northern Governors coming out to ban spare parts trading in the North.
Also, Lawan while reacting to the demand for restructuring
and ban on open grazing, tongue lashed the governors, saying as elected
leaders, they should not have taken such approach.
Malami and Lawan spoke separately after an emergency meeting
of Governors from the Southern Region in Asaba, Delta State which was held to
proffer solutions to increasing security issues in the country.
Meanwhile, bigwigs of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in
the South West on Sunday backed the ban on open grazing.
Bola Tinubu, Bisi Akande, Olusegun Osoba and the Speaker of
the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, are among those who called for
restructuring of the country and the creation of state police during a meeting
in Lagos State on Sunday.
And Kanu noted that the Minister of Justice Malami and
Nigeria’s Senate President, Lawan are the ones waging war against restructuring
of Nigeria, advising the South to break out.
According to him, “The South have been demanding
RESTRUCTURING. Now, Southern Govs & Southern caucus in NASS have joined in.
That’s half of Nigeria. But 2 men – the Senate President and AGF Malami are
saying the North won’t entertain it.
“Dear South: Just walk away from Nigeria. Simple!”
Kanu further lamented that “They [the North] have no sea but
they are in charge of all sea ports in the South.
“They have no single drop of oil but own all oil wells in
the South and are in charge of NNPC. They score lowest in every exam yet they
are Chief Justices, AGF, Supreme Court Judges and Army Generals.”
