Peter Obi to FG: Release Nnamdi Kanu, others now, says ‘force not solution to agitation’
By Chidi Roberts - March 23, 2017 0



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 on Thursday, emphasised that the use of force is not the solution to the Biafra agitation as such agitations are best resolved through dialogue.
“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 Biafra activists so as 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,” Obi said.
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. “To the best of my knowledge, the agitation for Biafra is not violent and does not violate either the Nigerian Constitution or international laws. I, therefore, condemn the use of force against the agitators,” he said.
Obi noted that Nnamdi Kanu and others have been granted bails in the past by courts of competent jurisdiction. He said it was a matter of regret that the Federal Government failed to use those judicial windows to free the detainees. “The fact that they had been granted bails that were not obeyed makes it even more pertinent to set them free now. We are in a democratic regime and it is important that the rule of law should be obeyed no matter whose case is involved,” he said.
The former governor advocated the restructuring of Nigeria, saying that it remains the only panacea to the various agitations and deep-seated anger that has consistently stoked tension and prevented Nigeria from moving forward.

Release Nnamdi Kanu, other Biafra activists — Peter Obi

Nnamdi kanu called Nigeria and Nigerians zoo and monkeys, yet obi calls for his release

Peter obi calls for the release of a man who said no igbo Christian should attend yoruba church.
http://www.lailasblog.com/2017/06/igbo-person-attends-church-pastored-yoruba-man-slowpoke-nnamdi-kanu.html
Obi was very much aware of his wrong doings, he never cautioned him or said anything against him then but the same obi is calling for the release of a man who called us Nigerians monkeys.
Today obi is all over the west visiting every yoruba church and telling the church to take back its country. From who exactly? Tinubu wife who's a Yoruba pastor or from yoruba pastors and hand over to igbo pastors.

Nigerians use your head, I hate playing religious card but who would you rather believe if religious domination is your fear. A Muslim man who married a Christian woman, had zero issues with her religion, didn't impose his religion on his son or a Christian man who thinks catholics are the only true Christians and handed over schools built by other churches to catholic churches in anambra, a man who priotized catholics members ahead of other church members in employement heirachy?
My brother think again. Who is truly using you.

Release Nnamdi Kanu, other Biafra activists — Peter Obi

It is well

One man made all this comment against the Nigeria people, Obi said we should dialogue with such individual. He already started going through on his treath and today the same easterners are the biggest victims of his actions. Markets are burnt down, men are being killed, families are starving cos they are afraid to go out on of their home to hustle. Yet obi says he needs understanding ajd should be dialogued with.

1. "...When we speak, the Zoo trembles, that is what happens when a cattle rearing terrorist and paedophile is your ruler."

2. "If you find anybody in your village asking after Radio Biafra kill the baboon Awusa Fulani or Yoruba bastard. Let them keep searching as we keep tweeting for #Biafra."

3. "Buhari is a shameless Paedophile and rapist."

4. "Buhari is a Terrorist he should be killed."

5. "Nigeria is a zoo and everybody living in that
Godforsaken zoo deserves to die."

6. "Kumuyi should be stoned and dealt with thoroughly if he comes to Aba for his planned crusade."

7. "The imbecilic Goodluck Jonathan is a disgrace to humanity and deserves to be skinned alive for handing over to an Hausa goat."

8. "By the time we finish dealing with the animals in the zoo, there'll be none left to tell the story."

9. "We are assembling weapons and we need some more money to thoroughly equip our military to enable us unleash mayhem on Nigeria."

10. "Niger Deltans are cowards; we know what to do to them. Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, Rivers, Edo and Cross Rivers State are our territory and anybody who tries to oppose us will be crushed."

11. "Buhari married his wife after raping her several times, the records are there."

12. "No Ibo man should attend any Church where the pastor is a Yoruba man, they are criminals and fools."

13. "Nigeria should prepare for war, we are coming to annihilate you, my secret service are already studying the zoo and strategising."

14. "Its either Biafra or death..."

And so what?….has the court not released him?.

..

Obi is a demagogue.

I am not offended I am only questioning your intelligence.
If you really think people should be jailed for saying things you don't like then you are not a very bright person.
Clearly you know nothing about the western world.
Today in the US, many Americans can their country all kinds of names, but their constitution protects them.
And trust me, even in the Nigerian constitution, you don't go to jail for calling Nigeria a zoo.

Nnamdi Kanu caled us a zoo, it ain't a criminal offence to the Nigeria constitution. But enforcing a criminal organisation that is killing people and fighting against the govt of a country is criminal offence. Maybe you ain't a cleaver person enough to know than insult is not enough reason to criminally accuse person but it's enough reason to politically or psychologically deny that person a thing of interest that you hold.
Go to US embassy and call the interviewer a fool and see if he'll ever reshedule your interview again. Because it's freedom of speech doesn't give you the right to go every civil organisation and insult it's head and not expect a natural clapback from such organisation.. good composure of English and copywright representation of foreign facts without clever scrutinization of such consequences is dumbest at its peak.. it's called empty barrel..

The courts have not been able to link a single violence to KANU.
Again, you do not go to jail for calling the US embassy interviewer a fool.
You actually have the right to insult any organization and not be thrown into jail.
Yes there could be clap backs but going to jail is not one at least not under the Nigerian constitution.
Just so you know, KANU is not in court for calling Nigeria a zoo

if 8nsultive words is your area of specialisation, the clapback is my post. Him and the Nigeria govt would decide next on other. He called me a monkey, those who associates with him won't get my vote. My post didn't call for kanu arrest but rather from voters to get the perfect opportunities to clap back on him an his associates. Peter obi inclusive.

Even the law courts that are higher than Peter Obi have also called that Nnamdi Kanu be released, but delyed the enforcement of that judgment so that government can go on their useless appeal to the Supreme court where they will have to admit they broke local and international law to bring Kanu to Nigeria
