Apex Igbo
socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has charged the Federal government
to investigate the sudden disappearance of leader of the Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB), Mr Nnamdi Kanu.
The
organization said the Federal Government must be ready to produce Kanu as he
suddenly disappeared from his residence after the military staged the operation
python dance in his compound at Afaraukwu in Abia State.
Addressing a
press conference in Akure, the Ondo State capital, the Secretary of the
organization in the state, Prince Erondu Uche also urged Nigerians who know the
whereabouts of Kanu to assist the government in finding him.
He said
“although the Ohanaeze Ndigbo does not support Kanu’s agitation, the fact
remains that he is an Igbo man, and as Igbo apex socio-cultural organization,
we hold it a duty to know his whereabouts, hence the call on the Federal
Government to produce him.”
Uche who
said that the current challenges facing Nigeria which includes insecurity,
agitations, corruption, poverty and marginalization call for urgent attention
by the Federal Government, also stressed the need for patriotism among all
Nigerians.
He stressed
that the country can only move forward if all Nigerians unite and work together
for the progress of the country. Also, he stressed the need for those in
government to be transparent and dedicated in order to earn the trust of the
governed.
“There
should be no ‘sacred cows’ in the fight against corruption; there should be
respect for the rule of law by all. Henceforth, the violation of our people’s
human right under any guise should stop immediately,” he stressed.
He added
that “the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari should ensure that only
the services of competent people are employed without nepotism.” Also, he
advised the Presidency to take the clamour for restructuring more serious,
noting that the issue is being handled with levity.
While making
case for the restructuring of the country, Uche said the call for restructuring
should be exclusively championed by President Muhammadu Buhari in the overall
interest of all Nigerians, adding that “the first restructuring we need is
restructuring of our minds.”
He hinted
that the organization has produced an album which was dedicated for the country
in order to promote the unity of the nation.
