Igbo Leaders of Thought, a body of
eminent Igbo personalities, has warned
that the plan to probe the immediate past
federal government should not be a ploy
to humiliate political opponents of
President Muhammadu Buhari, including
former President Goodluck Jonathan.
The group, led by constitutional lawyer,
Professor Ben Nwabueze, also urged
Buhari to immediately restructure Nigeria
without delay.
In a statement titled “Only truth and
justice endures,” which was signed by its
deputy secretary, Evangelist Elliot Uko, the
group said the impending probe must be
devoid of “witch-hunting and smear
agenda.”
It stressed that the probe would be
reduced to a jamboree if it becomes an
avenue to humiliate political opponents.
Using the probe to humiliate political
opponents of the All Progressives
Congress-led Federal Government would
cause problems for the country, the Igbo
Leaders of Thought warned.
“Desirable as the probe and prosecution of
corrupt officials of the outgone regime is,
we must endeavour to avoid witch-hunting
and smear agenda.
“Only the probe and prosecution of factual,
traceable and clearly identifiable cases of
abuse of office and misuse of public funds
will inspire confidence and receive
commendation of the citizenry and the
international community.
“Humiliating and deliberately degrading
political opponents in the guise of probe
and prosecution of corrupt officials will
only reduce the whole exercise to a
jamboree, that could lead to a lot of a
acrimony and bad blood which we believe,
is the last thing Nigeria needs at the
moment,” the group said in the statement.
The Igbo Leaders of Thought also insisted
on the restructuring of the country into
federating units.
The proposed restructuring of the country
was canvassed by several groups, including
the pan-Yoruba socio-cultural group,
Afenifere, and Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex
Igbo socio-cultural body, during the 2014
national constitutional conference.
Insisting on restructuring, the Igbo Leaders
of Thought argued that it would amount to
living in denial to pretend that the current
federal structure was sustainable.
The group noted that fighting corruption
and insurgency alone would not be enough
to restore the confidence of Nigerians in
the country’s future.
Arguing that the current federal structure,
which was established by the military, was
the bane of contemporary Nigeria, the
Igbo Leaders of Thought described the
proposed restructuring of the country as
urgent.
It said, “We believe that Nigerians from all
persuasions, political divide, zone or status
all agreed that the unity, security, stability
of Nigeria should be the priority of all
concerned at this juncture of our national
growth.
“Sincerity of purpose, commitment to what
is best for the country and for the good of
all should guide actions and steps of our
new leaders.
“While views and opinions may differ on
solutions to the myriad of problems
confronting us as a people, truth is usually
located somewhere near the court of
justice, equity and fair play.
“Continuing to pretend that the present
political structure is sustainable is clearly
to live in denial of reality.”

I'm not a tribalsist; nott at all at all by any degree, but it's beginning to seem there IA something wrong with Igbo elites.

Anytime an Igbo man or woman is involved in something shady or us being investigated by the authorities, they come out issuing warnings . and ultimatum. And Jonathan is not even Igbo

Any probe that doesn't go back to 1970 atleast, is a fraud. A huge joke! How can a double-speaking president that has a totally corrupt Danjuma as his mentor still preach anti-corruption and some are still buying it? How can you cherry-pick on whom to probe and whom not to probe? How can you take advice from Obasanjo and still talk about fighting corruption? How can you ignore Babangida in your ovetzealous fight against corruption and still lay any claim to credibility? How can you dine and wine with the likes of Atiku, Tinubu and Amechi while still sermonizing the whole place with your anti-corruption gibbetish?

no sense

Wailing wailers! Una never taya for ultimatum. Ndi ara

Let me ask this question: is this how the Republic of Biafra is going to be administered- encourage, condone and reward corruption- if it ever comes to be?? Would there be any chance of progress under these conditions

Smh.

The fact that you allowed yourself to be fooled into believing that Jonathan is igbo speaks volume about your disposition to tribal/trivial thinking , anybody reading will think he only apoted igbo. .. . Jonathan is ijaw! His petroleum ministet, ijaw married to an igbo, his works minister was from Edo, interior minister was from Benue,, Agric minister was yoruba. . But you lot skilfully tied him with the much hated/mallinged igbos so as to surmount the electoral quantity needed to 'purnish' him out of aso rock. . You gleefully termed that crude infamy as "sophisticated politics". . Crafty irritants.
