There are indications that President Muhammadu Buhari may not visit the South south and South east zones before his tenure expires.
This is not far from the truth as attempts made to do so in the last 18 months failed to yield positive results.Aside Edo state which he had visited during the electioneering campaign and other activities of the former Governor Adams Oshiomhole, Buhari has not visited any of the states in the two regions having assumed office as president. And there are broad indications that the president may not do so before his tenure expires.President Buhari in a warm handshake with his predecessor, Goodluck JonathanIn June 2016, he attempted visiting Ogoni land to flag off the cleaning of the devastated communities, the threat form members of the Niger Delta Avengers allegedly made him to make a reversal at the eleventh hour. The fear of the militants actualizing their threat, many had alleged, kept him off the area.READ ALSO:Ohaneze Ndigbo to champion Nnamdi Kanu's unconditional releaseThe cleanup was thereafter flagged off by the Vice President Yemi Osibanjo. And since then, Buhari has notmade any attempt to visit any other state for whatever reason in the volatile Niger Delta. All visits to the zone, irrespective of its national importance have been carriedout by the vice president.Also, he was billed to attend the South East Economic Summit in Enugu on December 22, 2016 but members of the Indigenous People of Biafra and Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra protested against his visit to the zone, matching round the city and threatening hail and fire should the president make his way to Enugu for the summit.He was billed to declare the summit open, though he persisted on attending but few hours to the event, the protest raged and he had no option but to call off the visit to the zone. IPOB members have been aggrieved over the continuous detention of the Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu. They are demanding the release of their leader before President Buhari could gain access into their land.President Muhammadu BuhariThese are two occasions that would have brought the president to these two zones. But the grievance of the youths who are angry against the president over so many vexed issues prevented him from visiting the zones as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.READ ALSO:Biafra: Uwazuruike won’t testify against Nnamdi Kanu - MASSOBSome folks in the eastern states, especially the youths, have never been pleased with the federal government of Nigeria. They have complained severally of marginalization by the government of the country. Hence, they have called for secession from the Nigerianstate. The call is being propelled by the IPOB and MASSOB members, most of whom are youths who are championing the liberation of their people from the Nigerian state.To them, they no longer belong to Nigeria. They have carved a section of the nation for themselves with a map indicating areas that belong to the Biafra Republic. The battle was allegedly being championed by Nnamdi Kanu, an action that led to his arrest and incarceration by the Buhari’s government for over a year.Despite pleas from organized bodies and the fact that some courts have said Buhari should release him, the president has failed to do the bidding of the courts. This is why the IPOB and MASSOB members are angry with the president. They have therefore decided that the president will not visit the zone until their leader is released from custody.Biafra agitators are angry with President BuhariAlthough Niger Delta Avengers have ceased fire to give the president and the Niger Delta leaders opportunity to dialogue and bring development to the region, one cannot actually say peace has returned. For over six months, the avengers held the zone ransom bursting pipelines and destroying national assets in the oil rich Niger Delta.READ ALSO:Blood, death as Delta communities engagein fierce gun battleFollowing pleas from leaders of the region, they have decided to give peace a chance. Leaders and elders as Edwin Kiagbodo Clarke and others prevailed on them and they have laid down their arms And waiting for the government’s action.But the laying down of arms is yet to be true as barely after 24 hours when Vice President Yemi Osibanjo left Delta state after the fact finding mission, gunmen suspected to be militants set ablaze a crude oil pipeline at Ughelli area of the state.The pipeline belonging to the Nigeria Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) located behind the SETRACO construction yard, along the East/West express road, was seen raging with inferno. The real cause of the inferno remain
