Nnamdi Kanu
A Nigerian security consultant has said IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, has used the language of the beast to galvanize Nigerians.
Following the agitations for referendum by the Indigenous People of
Biafra, IPOB, a security consultant, Chigozie Onyeukwu Ubani, has said
that IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu, has reawakened national consciousness on
the urgent need to restructure Nigeria on the path on peace and justice.
In an interview with Vanguard in Aba, Ubani who is a security
consultant, condemned the proscription and branding of IPOB as a
terrorist organization and urged the federal government to tread with
caution in order to avoid the IPOB crisis producing what he described as
‘unpleasant results.’
According to him, “Nnamdi has used the language of the beasts
to galvanize Nigerians to a subject which notable Nigerians have
unsuccessfully championed in the last 50 years. Don’t forget that the
Aburi Accord was mostly about restructuring Nigeria. Let us now take it
further for the benefit of posterity. Nnamdi Kanu has done his bit and
has his place in history.
“In my opinion, the Federal Government went about it wrongly
because proscription is only on paper and not on the minds of the
people, which incubates the liberation ideology. It is unfortunate that
the federal government refused to look at the big picture and decided to
play at the lowest strata of this impasse. This proscription can
produce different results. It can cause IPOB activists to go
underground, with grievous consequences for the nation state. It can
also cause IPOB to restructure and become a more formidable and potent
force, with better acceptability. I believe IPOB needs and will undergo
restructuring. They need it as some of the insults and vituperations of
other tribes where unnecessary for the struggle
“However, IPOB lawyers have approached the court to seek
reversal of such declarations and proscription. That bold legal step
alone simply shows that the intent of setting up IPOB was neither
criminal nor terrorist, but revolutionary. Let’s watch how the legal
tussle goes, as the outcome will enrich our jurisprudence”
He urged Ndigbo to build formidable bridges and friendship to
succeed in Nigeria and blasted South East governors for their inability
to handle the IPOB agitation.
“I am one of those who have recently shown pity on the South
East governors. Their hasty proclamation on IPOB was influenced by
powerful interests. In fact, this is one reason that gave birth to IPOB.
So they should watch it; as a new movement of Igbos may sweep them and
their neo-colonial masters away. Igbo are lovers of good life and its
appurtenances and can’t be terrorists.”
