The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has commended the Federal Government for contemplating a political solution for the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu and the Yoruba nation agitator, Sunday Adeniyi Adeyemo, aka Sunday Igboho.
Ohanaeze, in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia, disclosed that in an interview with journalists in Abuja on security challenges arising from the issues of Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr Abubakar Malami, gave the indication that the Federal Government has been using the amnesty policy to tackle some security challenges in the country and as such, the possibility of a political solution cannot be ruled out.
Ogbonnia recalled that “The President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Professor George Obiozor, had on several occasions advised the Federal Government to learn a lesson from history by not fighting an unwinnable war against nationalism but seek possible peaceful options that are the only solution that guarantees national unity and peaceful coexistence.”
Ohanaeze disclosed that “The Malami enthusiasm on the option of political solution to the security challenges in Nigeria reflects the views of Ohanaeze Ndigbo that the Igbo nation is not at war with Nigeria and has nothing pending before any institutional authority that demands a separate existence from Nigeria.
“The common Igbo refrain is equity and justice. Therefore, it is hoped that political solution to the current security challenges will be a long way in sustaining the corporate existence of Nigeria.”
While commending Malami for the anticipated courage, insight and deep reflection, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo maintained that “the ability to resolve the current security challenges in the country will place President Muhammadu Buhari on the right side of history.”
