Nnamdi Kanu: Group advises President Tinubu on peace dialogue
A civil society group, Congress of Civil Society Group (CCSG) Abia State Chapter has called on President Bola Tinubu to release the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu with a view to stemming insecurity in the Southeast geo-political zone.
The group which made this known in a press in Anambra State, alleged that the inability of the government at the centre to free Kanu even when court had ordered his release triggered off insecurity in Igbo land, even as they advise President Tinubu to resume dialogue with other pro-Biafra agitators to douse tension in the region.
Speaking at the press conference, Chapter Coordinator, Comrade Damian Ogudike described Kanu’s continued detention at the custody of the Department of Security Services (DSS) as a deliberate action by Nigerian government, recalling that Abuja Appeal court had discharged and acquitted Mazi Kanu of all charges levelled against him.
He noted that the world international body, United Nations has directed Nigerian government to release Kanu but they ignored them.
“So, the whole blame on what is happening in Nigeria precisely in the South East is directly caused by Nigerian government and nobody should blame the agitators causing violent”
“Actually, we are not in support of the approach adopted by the agitators of being violent and killing people, but I want to tell you that there is an extent someone will be pushed to the wall, such a person has to react.
“Can’t we seat down and discuss, renegotiate how to keep the country one if possible? Where it is not possible, let Nigeria disintegrate,” he advised.
