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.
