The presidency has advised the co-convener of the #BringBackOurGirls Group, Oby Ezekwesili, to demonstrate a great sense of responsibility in the face of national security challenges posed by the IPOB incendiary propaganda designed to cause civil unrest in the country. The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said “a prominent influencer like Dr. Oby has a moral and patriotic duty not to give ammunition to any violent group that seems determined to pursue its separatist agitation through reckless and destructive methods.” He explained that, “while it is convenient for the civil society activist to condemn the military and the government of President Buhari, Mrs Ezekwesili didn’t find it appropriate, even once, to criticise the dangerous and violent propaganda being propagated by the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu. Oby, as they call her, tweets on everything. Why was she silent on this one?” According to him, the attacks on soldiers and police officers by IPOB supporters “was most irresponsible, indefensible and reckless” and that nobody in her position “should elevate mobs to the status of rock stars for the sake of playing to the gallery.” The presidential media aide said while the military are taking all precautions to observe the rules of engagement, “there is a deliberate sinister agenda by IPOB to provoke the soldiers into killing innocent people in retaliation so that Nnamdi Kanu would use the pictures of the victims for international propaganda by accusing the government of ethnic cleansing against the Igbos with the sole purpose of gaining sympathy.” “A president who has put the nation’s cash cows, the Central Bank and the Ministry of Petroleum in the hands of the Igbo; who has given four out of five states in the sub-region senior cabinet posts in his administration, including Foreign Affairs; and Industry, Trade and Investment, and is constructing the Second Niger bridge after years of deceit and false starts cannot be called a hater of the Igbo.” The statement warned that the politicisation of the ongoing military exercise in the sub-region, itself in line with similar exercises in the five other geopolitical regions is inimical to the military readiness of the armed forces and the much-desired improved civilian-military relations in the country. Mr. Shehu also wondered why Mrs. Ezekwesili “retreated to the background or lost her voice while IPOB supporters were violently molesting, harassing, attacking and jeopardising the lives of indigenes and non-indigenes.” He challenged Mrs. Ezekwesili to explain to Nigerians where the constitution of Nigeria, and international human rights law supports the killing and molestation of innocent people in the name of advocacy for self-determination. According to him, “her hypocritical and timid silence while Kanu’s IPOB supporters were engaged in lawlessness and recklessness in violation of his bail conditions is a burden on her credibility as a national crusader who should be courageous to condemn criminality. This art of using a raincoat while taking a bath is nothing short of self-deceit.” He reminded her that “if the Buhari administration could take tough action against the extremist religious groups in the northern parts of the country to preserve national security, it is ridiculous to accuse the President of sending soldiers to the Southeast because he hates the Igbos. The Federal Government under President Muhammadu Buhari respects all citizens and will ensure that they are safe and secure wherever they reside.” Mr. Shehu advised her to rise above pettiness and sentiments, and to resist the temptation to play to the gallery, when the country’s national security is under threat, adding that “seeking to make political capital out of a chaotic situation is highly unbecoming of her and of the reputation she has worked hard to build over the years.” http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/243298-buharis-aide-attacks-ezekwesili-remarks-criticising-president.html/amp 4 Likes 1 Share

Ezekwesili learnt her lesson the hard way. SHe was busy campaigning for Buhari and for bring back our girls not knowing the person she is supporting judges her by her tribe and not the strenght of her character. It wasnt long before he ditched her and elevated the Northerners that worked with her. Rochas and Ngige all know the truth, but political greed and being power drunk will block their reasoning. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Don't mind them when Nnamdi kanu was busy making hate speeches they all turned deaf ears. That guy needs to be rearrested to serve as example for others because his the cause of all this mess. In fact Buhari is truly a reformed Democrat because no president would tolerate such nonsense not even an igbo president. Shame on igbos who claim to be the "wisest tribe in Nigeria" for allowing a boy like Nnamdi kanu to manipulate them. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

What is happening in Nigeria right now is very sad. But it is foolish to prevent a man from leaving your house if he wants to. Restructuring would be the best option available to the ndigbos and the rest of Nigeria, but I fear they are about to burn that bridge. If they insist on seceding, Igbos would lose greatly. I hope we all find an amicable solution to this wahala. All those people drumming the sounds of war, I want you to know that it will consume not just you but also everyone you care about. |

Good response from Garba Shehu this time around. In addition to the military operation, governments needs to start calling out the hypocritical Igbo elders and intelligentsia. They either take a stand to support Nigeria or declare for Igbos insurgency. I read Ezekwesili's tweet yesterday and I was very disappointed. She went into an unnecessary tirade against the president and our military and said absolutely nothing about Igbos attack on policemen, soldiers and innocent citizens of northern origin. Such hypocritical and one sided criticism is not the way to go in resolving the matter. We all supported military action against the boko haram separatist group, we should extend the same support to the operation python dance that is aimed at returning normalcy to the south east. 2 Likes |

seunmsg: Please, from what the Shehu said, can you provide or prove anywhere that iPod molested or harassed individuals? They attacked the military, was it on the road? No... Arewa youths gave Buhari the mandate to rearrested Nnamdi Kanu,few days later, the military of all places to chose to do thier patrol was in his residence. Do you know where his house is located in umuahia.if you do, you will know they don't have any justification going there. That you hate someone shouldn't blind you when it's time for being sincere. We know you hate Nnamdi Kanu and ipob. But when your friends do something wrong, you should always come clean. Ipob have never molested or attacked anyone. Unless you have any proof to that.

Pls answer the query Garba asked what is unique about the jerk CBN Emefiele that made Buhari retain him as CBN Governor n what uniqueness as been exhibited by the petroleum n foreign affair minister that made Igbo more deserving of those positions ? It is amahadioha that will strike you dead for thinking any Igbo or all Igbo are more deserving of any political or apolitical position in this country. |

toolovely: It is unfortunate when people like you keep lying shamelessly to defend the atrocities that Kanu and his group are committing. The video of ipob members stopping vehicles and searching for northerners is every on social media but people like you will still keep denying the truth. Yesterday, policemen were attacked and a police station was burnt down but it is nothing to you. We've also seen pictures of a vandalized mosque in Aba. You can keep lying but the truth is everywhere. Kanu started a Biafra secret service and a local militia force in a sovereign country. Which government in the world will allow such nonsense to go on without response? Instead of criticizing the president and our military, tell Kanu to stop the nonsense he's doing and all will be fine. If you Igbo's want referendum, put up candidates in 2019 who will push for your desire in parliament and let's see how far it will go instead of disturbing everybody's peace. That is how agitation for secession is conducted worldwide. 2 Likes |
