Ohanaeze Ndigbo has said President Muhammadu Buhari would be
doing his government a favour by ordering an unconditional release of Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Ohanaeze said this in response to the protest by key
Northern groups to the appeal made by elder statesman, Chief Mbazulike Amaechi.
The Igbo group in a statement by its Secretary-General, Mazi
Okechukwu Isiguzoro said illegal extradition of Kanu from Kenya left the
government with no option than to free the IPOB leader.
Ohanaeze cautioned the Northern leadership, especially the
Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF and the Coalition of Northern Groups “to desist
from fanning the embers disunity,” stressing that “they should allow President
Muhammadu Buhari do his job by getting Nnamdi Kanu released.”
Isiguzoro noted that, “The unity of the country is superior
to all arguments that ACF and CNG are canvassing. It’s an absurdity for the
Northern leadership to resort to pettiness in all issues concerning the
South-East, especially when it’s in the best interests of the country and her
survival.
“It is the prerogative of the President to either choose
from actions that will lead to the disintegration of the country or retreat
from the promotion of nepotism which was responsible for the actions of IPOB.”
He said the ACF would reap the benefits should Buhari refuse
to free Nnamdi Kanu, warning that, “Nigeria may go up in flames.”
He said the ACF by its current stand “has put itself up as
an exponent of Nigeria’s breakup and disintegration.
“Buhari is not doing Ndigbo any favour over Kanu but is a
must decision to save his government from the allegations of human rights
violations and a clampdown on the critics of his government when the real
terrorists are being pampered.
“Igbo leaders led by Pa Mbazulike Amaechi offered Buhari a
soft landing to save the Federal Government from further embarrassment before
the International community.
“So, President Buhari is doing his government a favour, not
Ndigbo to release Nnamdi kanu, as the international community is watching if he
will succumb to the pressure of the North not to correct the lapses before the
watchful eyes of the entire world.”
