Ahead of the November 6 governorship election in Anambra state, prominent leaders in the South East region, led by the South-East Council of Traditional Rulers and Christian leaders have appealed to the Federal Government to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to them in order to stop the orgy of killings and destruction in the region.

While also calling on the Federal Government to de-proscribe IPOB and release its in detention, the leaders urged IPOB not to do anything that would hinder the smooth running of the election.

It also pleaded that all scheduled sit-at-home orders should be cancelled, as these have already caused untold hardship for our people.

In a t statement on Sunday, the South-East Council of Traditional Rulers and representatives of Igbo Archbishops and Bishops asked the Federal Government to de-militarise the region.

While seeking audience with President Buhari on the issue, the leaders said the militarisation of the region had resulted in the killing of Igbo youths and burning of communities by soldiers.

The leaders stated that the heightened inequality and marginalisation of Ndigbo in the scheme of things in Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari’s government remained at the core of youth restiveness in the region.

They warned that until the Federal Government took deliberate steps to run a government on the basis of fairness, equity, justice and non-discrimination ‘this restiveness is likely to continue’.

The statement was signed by Chairman, South-East Traditional Rulers Council and Chairman, Ebonyi State Council, Igwe Charles Mkpuma; Chairmen of Traditional Rulers Council of Abia, Eze Joseph Nwabeke; Anambra, Obi Nnaemeka Achebe; Enugu, Amb Lawrence Agubuzu and Imo State, Eze E. C. Okeke.

Representatives of the Christian leaders that signed the statement are Most Rev. Anthony Obinna, Catholic Archbishop of Owerri; Most Rev. Emmanuel Chukwuma, Anglican Archbishop of Enugu; Most Rev. Chibuzo Opoko, Methodist Archbishop of Umuahia.

Others are Most Rev. Valerian Okeke, Catholic Archbishop of Onitsha; Most Rev. Uma Onwunta, past Principal Clerk, Presbyterian Church Nigeria; Bishop Obi Onubogu, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria and Rev. Fr. Abraham Nwali, Chairman, CAN, South East Zone.

The statement said, “Flowing from similar initiatives taken to bring peace to other troubled parts of the country, we urge the Federal Government and other stakeholders to explore dialogue and negotiation in resolving critical issues that threaten national unity, cohesion and development.

“Accordingly, we refer to our earlier request for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to the South-East Council of Traditional Rulers and the Representatives of Igbo Archbishops and Bishops and restate this call even more strongly.

“We are of the firm belief that this act of courage and statesmanship is not only imperative but will speedily de-escalate the heightened state of insecurity and dislocation in the South-East zone.
“We also urge President Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR) and the Federal Government to take immediate steps to de-proscribe the Indigenous People of Biafra and release all IPOB being held in various detention facilities in Nigeria.

“We assert that heightened inequality and marginalization remain at the core of youth restiveness in our region. We urge our apex National Leadership to note that until it takes deliberate steps to run government on the basis of fairness, equity, justice and non-discrimination, this restiveness is likely to continue”.
“We shall respectfully seek audience with Mr President to discuss these issues in exploring political solution and the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu”

“On our part, we assure our youths that we have heard their cries of marginalization, injustice and longsuffering. As concerned parents, we feel your pain. However, we urge you to de-escalate the tension and remain law-abiding to enable us to engage especially the Federal Government in finding a lasting solution to the crises”.

“Consistent with the above, we urge IPOB not to do anything that would hinder or be seen to be hindering the smooth running of the forthcoming Governorship Election in Anambra State and to cancel all scheduled sit-at-home orders, as these have already caused untold hardship for our people”.

“Finally, we call on all the candidates in the forthcoming Anambra State Governorship Election to eschew violence and commit to free, fair and credible election” .

Some peeps don't seem to know the kind of person buhari is....That man ain't listening to nobody on matters that concerns nnamdi kanu....For all he cares, southeast can burn!!..Quite unfortunate how ipob played into his gallery by having initially ed activities of the so called ESN/UGM(whether true or false they are made up of Indigenous men or not) which he buhari would now use as an excuse to execute his plan using his animals in the zone!!....IGBOS resident in this zone would be the ones that would suffer this epidemic on the long run if they don't sit up to kick against the activities of these so called ESN/UGM!!

Meanwhile , For those contesting for "first to comment positions",....as u all can see, this happens to be the prize for first commenters as SON OF MAN has come to redeem his!!...

That Nigerian Police video has been EXPOSED - It is fake. The Nigerian Police was acting a movie with the lives of Anambra people. Read this documentary where it was exposed beyond doubt https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/6829172/nigerian-police-acts-war-movie

They think that everyone in Nigeria is a fool.

I was saying it when Kanu was arrested and all the South East Leaders kept mute. I said this is the biggest mistake the government will make by trying to keep in him in detention. This guys will cause so much unrest because they are now armed,they will cause unrest to the point that even the leaders will not sleep.

The first time they kept him locked up for over a year,everyone saw the restivness they caused even without arms then,you can imagine the damage they will cause this time around with arms . If the court just grants him bail,and FG refuses to release him like they did the first time, everybody in the south east including government personnels and ministries may smell hell

Me i'm just confused in this country, may i no lie!!

If they are expecting the plank to listen, then they are more ignorant than I thought.

Someone who releases thousands of bokoharam terrorists monthly, enlists them in the armed forces, and calls them repentant Bokoharam? Is that the person any sane southerner wants to reason with?

Southern leaders should pray, that by the time they shun greed and actually grow enough balls to demand for referendum, that it will not be too late.

Okay

Nnamdi Kanu is our own.



God bless him.

When actually will you stop this your chestbeating?

PIMPAR:

When actually will you stop this your chestbeating?

unless you are blind ,or just playing ostrich .

Everyonr is seeing what is going on in the south east right now and you call it chestbeat. When has causing unrest become a competition? Oponu

Kanu bail conditions: 1 Bring back all the security forces , innocent Nigerian that kanu killed back alive .2 pay all government and individuals properties damaged by ESN, blood sucking demons, known as known gunmen's sponsoring by kanu.

Who gave the bail conditions?

Kanu bail conditions: 1 Bring back all the security forces , innocent Nigerian that kanu killed back alive .2 pay all government and individuals properties damaged by ESN, blood sucking demons, known gunmen's sponsoring by kanu.

Should I state what Fulanis and Buhari must do before they can escape the hell they'll face?

U people said he did nothing that Buhari should bring him to court why they don’t u people want the court to decide?

But what's good about locking him up while people are still dying everyday in Nigeria? Mr President lead us well

Bubu get ear infection he can’t hear.

So South East monarchs are sitting on a long thing

Seh the Bishop no sabi roads to the respective cells where those people are locked up and free them?

We know Buhari is a stubborn goat

He won't listen

Na now day break?

Allahu kubaru

Yamrees young and old.

Them sense be like 3 days old chicken brain.

No sense.

Release ko! Cum ni!

If buhari do that make I bend,first buhari have no say in this matter because malami is the real president you suppose to be begging not buhari and I dont think malami will risk causing world war 3 just to get kanu arrested/kidnapped and just released him like that.ipob are not hurting buhari or malami with their sit at home as a matter of fact,malami and his aboki are enjoying igbo destroying their own people business with their sit at home so malami is not affected in anyway.
