Buhari Asked To Dialogue With Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB
The World Igbo Peoples Assembly (WIPAS), a sociopolitical organization, has encouraged President Muhammadu Buhari’s government to hold talks with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the arrested leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to defuse tensions and agitations in the east.
The group stated in a statement released on Monday by its Director of Media and Publicity, Chinonyerem Dick, that the spirit of Biafra has refused to vanish because of the President’s and some Nigerian leaders’ handling of the subject.
WIPAS believes that if the federal government talks to Kanu and IPOB, they can find a common ground.
The Igbo organization lamented the structural marginalization of ndigbo, which manifests in the number of states and local governments in the country.
“All federal ministries and agencies have been flooded by Fulani people and all key government positions occupied by them. How can this lead to peace and unity, “WIPAS queried?
Meanwhile, the Coalition of Civil Society Organizations of Nigeria (COCSON) has attacked the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), accusing it of being a den of corruption.
The Coalition accused anti-graft officers of squandering recovered plundered monies and assets, stating that the EFCC accepts payments from looters in exchange for letting them off the hook.
COCSON said, “That is why looters are now in the national assembly and in government continuing to loot.
The group claimed that the Buhari led federal government is not actually fighting any corruption, alleging that once a looter joins the APC his sins are forgiven.
The Coalition, however, called on Nigerians to save Nigeria from vampires presently ruling her.
