Igbo Delegates Assembly (IDA), an
umbrella body of Igbos in the 19 northern states and Abuja, has called on the
Federal Government of Nigeria to dialogue with the leader of Indigenous People
of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, and leaders of other agitating groups.
The assembly, rising from a
three-day meeting in Abuja, urged the government to shelve the idea of revoking
Kanu’s bail.
A communiqué signed at the end of
the meeting by Chi Nwogu and Austine Ifedinezi, president general and
secretary of the assembly, respectively, urged the federal government to take
urgent steps to put Nigeria “on a path of peaceful co-existence, through
equitable distribution of patronage and infrastructural development.”
IDA argued that the recent
outburst in favour of the establishment of the state of Biafra was simply a
response to the socio-economic imbalances in Nigeria which, they added, would
give way once the imbalances are genuinely addressed.
The group added that “together as
a people and persuade the federal government to put in place a framework for
equitable existence in the Nigerian project.
“This should be done through the
convocation of a sovereign conference, of the component ethnic nationalities,
or an adoption of the reports of the 2014 National Conference.”
On the withdrawal of the October
1, 2017 quit notice on Igbo in the North by Arewa youths, the assembly saluted
prominent northerners who worked for peace as well as the courage of the
Coalition in backing down.
“It is on this note that we
appeal to security agencies to be on guard throughout the period to prevent any
breakdown of law and order in any part of Nigeria, especially in the north,” it
said.
You guys are not serious.I don't know why those igbo normally use their anus to think rather than their brain.President Buhari can never negotiate with this demented albino. God4bid
ReplyDeleteBut buhari negotiated with Boko Haram terrorist. What do you think?
DeleteNow who is thinking or eating with his anus, when u want to talk think before u talk don't talk before u think u moron, what do u even know, u war mongers?
DeleteIt is worthy to note that as the issue of marginalistion of Igbos totally resurrected "Biafra from death", only "restructuring of nigeria" or "good governance in line with section (3) of the 1999 constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria" will finally bury the "resurrected Biafra" forever and end all agitations in Nigeria.
