The National Publicity Secretary of the pan-Yoruba sociocultural organisation, Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, has claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari made the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, popular.
In an interview with Punch, Odumakin also warned that re-arresting or killing Kanu was not the solution to the agitations.
He urged the government to address the issues by restructuring Nigeria.
“Two years ago, who knew Nnamdi Kanu? Maybe he was just on the Internet or Radio Biafra. But when he was arrested and detained for over a year he became popular. You realise today that when he is addressing crowds in the South-East, thousands gather and follow (him). They (government) made him popular. If they rearrest him, they are going to further popularise him and bring into focus the issues he is fighting for. Why don’t they deal with the issues, solve the nationality question and render his achievements ineffective? His arrest will not resolve the matter. Even if they sentence Kanu to death today, another person will rise — once they refuse to resolve the matter.
“On the other hand, when you talk about the rule of law, that lady that symbolises justice is blindfolded. The essence of that is, she is no respecter of persons — she delivers justice to whomever offends the law. But then, you begin to go after Kanu and some people get up in Arewa land to say leave our land. The Kaduna governor says, ‘Go and arrest them.’ The vice president says, ‘Arrest them.’ The minister of interior then says, ‘No, they said they were misquoted.’ The thing the minister said they were misquoted on, they sat with governors from the North to say they were suspending the order (notice to quit given to Igbo in the North), and they were holding a press conference in Sheraton.
“In fact, one of the (Arewa) youths, when they were looking for them, said, ‘If I’m declared wanted, I will give myself up.’ Even (for security agents) to invite them for a 30-minute chat and let them go, they didn’t do that. When you refuse to do that, you create problems for the rule of law; you show that there’s a double standard. That is not how to build an inclusive country. Not that we endorse everything that Kanu is doing, but we are saying in order not to overheat the polity, what we need now is (for the Federal Government) to address the issues that have given rise to agitations. If we begin the process of restructuring this country, the separatist groups will be at bay. But if we don’t address these issues, you’re giving them, added energy,” Odumakin said.

How old are you?

What about uwazurike? The moment he became a sellout, another guy replaced him.

If Nnamdi Kanu is killed, Biafra won't die, it will bring out the deep rooted anger against this God forsaken CUNTry.

Hope You also remember the circumstances that brought them to power? Obj was just a consolation for Abiola whom they killed, GEJ was cos of Yaradua's death, even at that, they never allowed him have peace, it was in his reign they brought Boko Haram to make his government ungovernable, they killed many in the North, he tried to please them by all means yet he was stoned during his visit to Kastina and was almost Bombed in Bauchi if not that he left fast. They didn't even allow him complete his tenure, why? cos he is not from the Muslim North, someone who is from a region that feeds the whole country, and you expect them not to agitate?.

2019 is here, both PDP and APC have zoned the presidency to the North, yet you tell me anyone can become president in Nigeria, sorry to say but I think you need your brain checked.

Why taking it out on me? Na me zone Presidency come north
