Federal Government Must Produce Nnamdi Kanu – Ohanaeze Ndigbo Declares
The Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has charged the
Federal government to investigate the sudden disappearance of leader of
the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mr Nnamdi Kanu.
The
organization said the Federal Government must be ready to produce Kanu
as he suddenly disappeared from his residence after the military staged
the operation python dance in his compound at Afaraukwu in Abia State.
Addressing
a press conference in Akure, the Ondo State capital, the Secretary of
the organization in the state, Prince Erondu Uche also urged Nigerians
who know the whereabouts of Kanu to assist the government in finding
him.
He said “although the Ohanaeze Ndigbo does not support
Kanu’s agitation, the fact remains that he is an Igbo man, and as Igbo
apex socio-cultural organization, we hold it a duty to know his
whereabouts, hence the call on the Federal Government to produce him.”
Uche
who said that the current challenges facing Nigeria which includes
insecurity, agitations, corruption, poverty and marginalization call for
urgent attention by the Federal Government, also stressed the need for
patriotism among all Nigerians.
He stressed that the country can
only move forward if all Nigerians unite and work together for the
progress of the country. Also, he stressed the need for those in
government to be transparent and dedicated in order to earn the trust of
the governed.
“There should be no ‘sacred cows’ in the fight
against corruption; there should be respect for the rule of law by all.
Henceforth, the violation of our people’s human right under any guise
should stop immediately,” he stressed.
He added that “the
administration of President Muhammadu Buhari should ensure that only the
services of competent people are employed without nepotism.” Also, he
advised the Presidency to take the clamour for restructuring more
serious, noting that the issue is being handled with levity.
While
making case for the restructuring of the country, Uche said the call
for restructuring should be exclusively championed by President
Muhammadu Buhari in the overall interest of all Nigerians, adding that
“the first restructuring we need is restructuring of our minds.”
He
hinted that the organization has produced an album which was dedicated
for the country in order to promote the unity of the nation.
