Biafra: Nnamdi Kanu Is Your Son, Discuss With Him – Ohanaeze Chieftain Tells Buhari

A chieftain of the Igbo socio-political organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chuks Ibegbu, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to engage Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Islamic Movement in Nigeria, IMN, and other agitators in a roundtable discussion.

According to Ibegbu: “Buhari does not want to sit and talk to agitators. A good leader will call those with grievances for discussion. Instead of using the police and army to fight your home citizens and killing them, call them to a round table discussion.

“Buhari should call Nnamdi Kanu saying look “you are my son what is your problem? Can’t we build a better Nigeria? How do you want Biafra?’ Kanu will say, “father, this is how I want Biafra’ and Buhari will say no, let’s have a round table discussion to solve this problem.’

“Let me tell you, if Buhari does this, Nnamdi Kanu will see him as a father that cares for his son and would stop all these things. Then he will meet with El-Zakzaky’s people, telling them, ‘I know you want an Islamic state but it’s not possible in a nation like Nigeria. However, you can have your religious freedom, and I will release your leader. You will see that El-Zakzaky and his men will calm down.’

“Then Buhari will come to Boko Haram, telling them ‘look, we can’t have an Islamic state in amercenariesic group, I can give you amnesty’.

“If they refuse and opt to continue fighting, then he should invite mercenaries to crush them.”
