Chukwuemeka Ezeife, a Third Republic Governor of Anambra
State, has said the rearrest of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of
Biafra, IPOB, and Yoruba agitator, Sunday Adeyemo alias Sunday Igboho, could
indicate that the Federal Government is pushing the South out of Nigeria.
Ezeife made the remark while stressing the need for the
Nigerian government to engage agitators in a dialogue.
The former governor also stated that the travail of Kanu and
Igboho may fast-track the call for restructuring of Nigeria.
“Well, we are praying that the whole issue be converted to a
dialogue. Let us dialogue on why IPOB is crying. Why are people like me saying
the Federal Government is pushing us out of Nigeria? Can we dialogue in the
interest of one peaceful Nigeria? Can we dialogue on developing, growing one
Nigeria?
“So, the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu might fast-track achieving
the restructuring and fairness of Nigerian system. As the same with (Sunday)
Igboho in Yorubaland, seen as an opposition by the Nigerian government. Why
would Yoruba or Igbo want to go if they are treated well because nobody is born
into slavery in their own country?” Ezeife told SaharaReporters.
Kanu was recently rearrested from an undisclosed African
country and was brought back to Nigeria through extraordinary rendition.
Upon arrival, the IPOB leader was remanded in the custody of
the Department of State Services, DSS.
Meanwhile, Igboho was arrested in Cotonou, Benin Republic.
Igboho had fled Nigeria to Benin Republic after he was
declared wanted by the DSS after weapons were discovered after a raid on his
home.
