FG Should Release Nnamdi Kanu, Other Biafra Activists — Peter Obi by GreatNegro(m): 5:20pm On Mar 25, 2017 |
ENUGU—Immediate past
Governor of Anambra State, Mr.
Peter Obi, has called for the
release of the leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and
other detained Biafra activists.
Obi, while fielding questions
from newsmen in Enugu,
yesterday, emphasised that the
use of force was not the solution
to the Biafra agitation as such
agitations are best resolved
through dialogue.
He said: “I wish to appeal to the
Federal Government to change its
hardline posture on this issue
and yield to the persistent
clamour for the release of
Nnamdi Kanu and other Biafran
activists to douse the tension in
the country, especially in the
South-East and South-South geo-
political zones.
“The Federal Government should
engage them in dialogue. Every
agitation in the world is resolved
through dialogue and not by
means of force.”
The former governor recalled
that he was among the first to
advocate a political solution to
the renewed Biafra agitation and
expressed disappointment that
the advice was yet to be heeded.
“This has been my consistent
position, and I remember making
the same point when I spoke at
an event organised in Enugu in
February 2016 by the Igbo Youth
Movement,” he said.
He noted that while the Federal
Government may have
reservations about the Biafra
agitation, it should realise and
acknowledge that the agitators,
like other citizens, have their
fundamental rights of freedom of
expression and assembly
guaranteed by the Nigerian
Constitution. www.vanguardngr.com/2017/03/release-nnamdi-kanu-biafra-activists-peter-obi/ |
