Former Vice President, Alhaji
Atiku Abubakar has finally reacted to the clash between the Nigerian Army and
members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in Abia State.
Atiku, who enjoys the Turakin
Adamawa title, said dialogue remained the best option for the looming war in
eastern part of the country.
Report had it last night that a
combined team of the Nigerian Army, the Police and the DSS had invaded the home
of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), abducting
his parents and siblings.
Reacting to the clash, Atiku
called on governors from the south and the north to reach a truce on the
nagging crisis.
He said, “I join my party, the
APC to call for restraint from all sides in the aggression happening in Abia
State.
“We hear each other better if we
speak peacefully. Everyone, please stop escalating the situation. Let us
dialogue and listen to each other.
“I appreciate our governors both
North and South, for their efforts to maintain calm. Meeting with stakeholders
is important and should continue.”
Meanwhile, the Biafra National
Guard (BNG) has lambasted President Muhammadu Buhari for sending Nigerian Army
troops to south-east.
The group said the military
occupation was to carry out massacre and urged Igbos by all means
necessary defend themselves against soldiers deployed to the region.
