As Nigeria draws closer to May 29, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, on
Wednesday, issued four demands the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, must meet to
pacify Igbos.
Ohanaeze Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said Tinubu
should release Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB,
unconditionally.
Isiguzoro said releasing Kanu would restore peace and
security in the Southeast.
He noted that Tinubu must ensure the Southeast produces the
next Senate President of Nigeria.
Speaking, the Ohanaeze chieftain said Tinubu
must ensure the actualization of the sixth state in the Southeast.
According to Isiguzoro: “Tinubu is a progressive, he’s a
strategist; Tinubu’s government would not be like Buhari’s government.
“The only problem Tinubu has is age on his side, and most of
the people who made Buhari not to succeed are queuing behind him because of
some of the challenges he’s having following the 2023 election.
“Tinubu must pacify the Southeast with four charter of
demands for the region to accept him as President of Nigeria, and for Ndigbos
to stand tall and defend his mandate.
“The first is that Tinubu must unconditionally restore peace
and security by releasing Nnamdi Kanu, whether he would grant him a
presidential pardon from the Eagles Square during his acceptance speech or use
the power of the presidency to get him released to restore peace and security
in the Southeast.
“Secondly, Tinubu must start the healing process by ensuring
that he balances the Muslim-Muslim ticket by giving a Christian from the
Southeast the president of the senate. Whoever would be the Senate President
must not be ranking Senators who don’t have the character to protect the
interest of the country.
“We are calling on the senate to amend their rules and allow
first-timers because those who are ranking Senators have dubious characters and
can’t represent the interest of Ndigbos.
“Thirdly, Tinubu must put political structures on the ground
to ensure that Ndigbo feel the promise that Buhari made to us secretly that he
would ensure the region gets a sixth state; Ohanaeze already has a plan for it.
“The President-elect must ensure that all the economic
gateways across the country including the reopening of the Calabar wharf,
dredging of the Azumiri River, granting IPOB members amnesty, and compensating
families killed over the years.”
