A South-East based group, the
World Igbo Youth Congress, WIYC, Thursday, asked Abia State Governor, Chief
Okezie Ikpeazu and Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe to produce the leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
The youths said anything on the
contrary, the duo should be made to face the music.
The group spoke in apparent
response to Governor Ikpeazu, who had told State House correspondents, after
meeting with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja,
that it was not his duty to locate Kanu.
The WIYC in a statement, signed by its Deputy National President, Dr. Fidelis
Ugwu insisted that Ikpeazu and Senator Abaribe had answers to Kanu’s
whereabouts.
“We are still thrilled to the
continuous denial by the Governor of Abia State and Senator Abaribe that they
have no knowledge about Kanu’s whereabouts.
“We must say that such assertion
is a far cry from the truth as they not only know Kanu’s location but aided his
escape from Umuahia.
“Even though we are against the
invasion of Nnamdi Kanu’s home by the Nigerian Army, it does not change the
truth, which is that the Governor and Abaribe knows where Kanu is at the
moment.
“The information available to us
showed that the duo provided the logistics through which Kanu escaped. So, they
should be made to face the music.
“We are mindful of the fact that
the Governor has immunity but the Senator should be arrested without further
delay to produce Kanu.
“This is the most finest hour and
as a result, all those involved should face the consequences and the challenges
of self-determination. As a true Igbo Senator, Abaribe should stand in for
Kanu. If Kanu was their shoes, he would not shy away”, the group concluded.
Governor Ikpeazu had stated that
“Those who are looking for him may have a better knowledge and have the
capacity to determine the location of anyone in Nigeria.
“There are people who are trained
to track people and it is their responsibility, not mine.”
Dr. Fidelis Ugwu you and your unknown group(WIYC) are the most foolish people on earth for you to make such kind of statement. In no time you will see how foolish you are to stab your own brothers at the back.
