eorge Obiozor, president-general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, says the federal government should adopt political solution on the case of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Kanu is facing charges bordering on treasonable felony instituted against him by the federal government.

In November 2021, south-east traditional and religious leaders had asked President Muhammadu Buhari to grant amnesty to Kanu to deescalate tension in the zone.

But Buhari, in a recent interview, had said he cannot release Kanu, adding that the IPOB leader should defend himself in court.

Asked to respond to Buhari’s recent comment on Kanu, Obiozor, in an interview on Channels Television on Thursday, said political solution is possible since militants in the south-south and repentant Boko Haram members have been offered amnesty.

“We in Igboland have made it categorically clear that we prefer a political solution to it — a dialogue to end it. It is clear to the rest of Nigeria,” he said.

“And we have repeatedly said that Igbo nation is not at war with Nigeria. Therefore, what is happening can be handled. I will use the words ‘political solution’ as the answer. Dialogue is the answer.

“Just as other sections of Nigeria, some areas of Nigeria, people who behaved like Kanu have been forgiven, given amnesty and integrated into the country.

“So, what we are asking is for Mr President to use the prerogative of mercy to look into the situation in the south-east.

“Prerogative of mercy is exclusively the right of the president. We are not talking about court. We are not talking about use of force. Use of force is dangerous for everybody and it will definitely not solve the problem. It will make it worse.

“We are not new to Nigeria’s politics. We saw in south-south — Niger Delta Avengers, MEND — and the rest, even the present Boko Haram, those who said they are repenting, how they are being rehabilitated.

“The problem of federalism is that the sensitivity is very much on the surface. If you don’t do one as you have done others, you will have problem.”

Same Kanu that insulted this elders!

I think this line of elders are naturally foolish, and why they get disrespected at will by their youths.

beerfraud:
those elders know what their untrained bastard sons can do to them that is why they stoop low to avoid being beating and cannibalized

Guyman02:
They are from same region and religion.
Picture 1: Fulani Bandits are released without charge according to Zamfara state governor.
Pic 2: Repentant Boko Haram get rewarded with money and cartons of indomie, they even rioted because they want to be killing the cows given to daily by FG by themselves after reciting the verses on the Ruling on killing cows.
The same people who killed one of our bravest commanders whose wife went into because of the pain of watching her husband killers being pampered with luxury.
Pic 3: The Policeman indicted for international fraud is still earning his full salary while under suspension and protection from extradition to America.

Nnamdi Kanu is from a region called 5% and Dot and no political solution is in the offing because Buhari does not have the intellectual capacity to engage him in any discussion.

“And we have repeatedly said that Igbo nation is not at war with Nigeria. Therefore, what is happening can be handled. I will use the words ‘political solution’ as the answer. Dialogue is the answer.

Have they dialogue with their sons Kanu and the IPOB miscreants? If you can dialogue with your sons and daughters to stop their atrocities while dialogue with external person to forgive them.

TGM2015:
You quite use the right word, until the MNK and his followers are remorseful and shows a considerable level of repentance, political solutions cannot work. If they want political solutions then Kanu and his IPOB followers must first declare their support for one Nigeria.

The court process is better off, provided he has no skeleton in his cupboard.
