Kanu’s re-arrest.: Ohanaeze attacks Attorney- General

…says he should respect his oath of office.

BY VINCENT KALU

The umbrella Socio Political organisation of Ndigbo, the Ohanaeze has berated the the federal Attorney General and Minister of Justice for applying to the court for the revocation of bail conditions given to the leader of the Indigenous People’s of Biafra IPOB Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

 

The Ohanaeze said in a statement signed by its President General Chief John Nnia Nwodo titled: “Attorney-General of the Federation, Please respect your oath of office” that they are surprised that the Attorney General is prepared to contest the superiority of the provisions of the constitution on fundamental human rights of freedom of movement and freedom of association over an erroneous judicial proclamation violating those rights.

“I am equally miffed by the audacity with which the Attorney-General displays his bias without regard to his oath of office, ” the group added.

The Ohanaeze boss noted that just within the week, the Chairman of the Northern Governors Forum and in total defiance of the Head of State’s proclamation of the rights of a citizen of Nigeria to live anywhere in Nigeria and to do business anywhere in Nigeria, the Arewa Youths, pretending to withdraw their quit notice gave qualifications to the Head of State’s proclamation, issuing conditions for enjoyment of citizenship status.

And these same Arewa Youths are supposed to have been arrested on the orders of the Governor of Kaduna State and the Inspector General of Police for acts of treason, conversion and sedition.

“Nnamdi, as a citizen of Nigeria, is free to hold any point of view no matter how displeasing to anyone so long as they are not inciting or provoking any criminal activities” Ohanaeze insisted.

Nwodo noted that even though he and some Igbo leaders have differences of opinion with Nnamdi on a number of issues and have even been insulted and abused by Radio Biafra but we concede them their right to differ from us. We concede them their nature to be exuberant as Youths but we cannot be judgmental about their rights.

The statement urged the Attorney General to note that “In democracies leaders are abused, pelted with rotten eggs and booed at, as the former Edo State Governor was booed in Abuja a few days ago. These acts are not necessarily criminal”

 

Nwodo finally advised the “Attorney-General not to exacerbate our already tense nation by commencing a legal action which portrays him as biased, insensitive and misdirected”

  1. It is ohanaeze group that is biased, confused, do not know where they belong, only make empty noise of illiteracy whithout direction. The enemy- political poor northern bandits in the name of Nigeria know their position- which is war against Igbos. God given Republic Of Biafra of the five south east states majority Igbos democratically in a referendum by sit-at-home decided for, know its firm position- which is defence of existence securities and freedom of Igbos of Biafra under God given Republic Of Biafra of the five south east states in 21st century world, and deadline with the political name Nigeria, is October 1st 2017, deadline to hand over all barracks in Biafraland to Biafran officers in the military and police, is August 31. 2017. The battle has begun- the climax of the 50 years Biafra – Nigeria War, which God has given Biafra victory. God Is With Us!!!

    1. You need some psychiatric check up because you write like a lunatic. I have been struggling to make sense out of your numerous posts but I don’t understand your position. You are not coherent at all.

  2. The said ohanaeze group and kanu with ipob group deceived themselves by been hypocritical, and thought they are deceiving Igbos of Biafra of the five south east states. Ohanaeze group said they will convince kanu for so-called restructuring, meaning one nigeria, which kanu went for under eca group he is the leader. As Ialready said, the kanu issue with political poor northern bandits in the name of nigeria has nothing to do with God given Republic Of Biafra of the five south east states, because kanu with ipob group do not abide by the principles of God given Republic Of Biafra of the five south east states. God Is With Us!!!

  3. I’m delighted by the wisdom and stance of ohaneze under nnia nwodo. We igbos must realize that this is not about kanu but about a collective fight for our survival as igbos. We must rally round kanu no matter our disagreement with him. The disease-infested illiterate arid landlocked muslim north is determined to subjugate us. We must resist them. We must realize that injury to one igbo is injury to all igbos.

    Even UN asked FG to arrest arewa youths but they blatantly refused and now they want to arrest kanu for exercising his fundamental human rights guaranteed by the constitution.

    God bless nnamdi kanu. God bless Biafra.

  4. Ohaneze Ndi Igbos’ leadership have spoken more reasonably, democractically and culturally well.

    Yes, human beings are created by God Almighty with diversity and nature differences.

    Hence, the need of matual respect of indviduality, cultural, individuals’ behavioural lifestyle and religious differences, among others!

    Democractically speaking, especially on the fundermental democratic human rights and freedom of speech and expression, among others,, Nnamdi Kanu has not violated any constitutional rights, and should not be rearested as the political cabals in the NIGERIA Federal Executive Government have selfishly intended!

    All this barbaric, unpatriotic and tragic hero’s approach in handling socio-political challenging experiences in the today’s NIGERIA should stop, and allow all-inclusive democractic transparency and honesty, among other things, to be the democractic fundamental way forward!

  5. Ohaneze ndi-igbo led by chief John nwodo for the first time since the battle for the soul of igbo nation started spoke our minds, no amount of treat from the hausa/fulani led federal government will stop the restoration of biafra, Nnamdi kanu is the face of
    the new igbo leadership i urge all the igbos and the entire old eastern region to support nnamdi kanu for total emancipation from this lugard estate called nigeria.

  6. This is the first time Ohanaeze can rise to a challenge.I thank you so much for your response and courage to this challenge.We are solidily with you sir.Heaven will not fall if we help ourselves.It will be a great legacy for you that under your care that the Igbos were liberated from the fulanis.

    Buhari came for a mission and if left unchecked will be disastrous to southern Nigerians in the next 35 -40 years to come.Buhari’s plan to re-arrest Nnamdi Kanu is a clear indication that he supports and he is the brain behind Arewa youth.Foriegn medias have in one time or the other said that The Nigerian President Muhammed Buhari May be the last Nigerian President if he don’t democratically negotiate with the south.

    Buhari should be wise enough not to try what the Arewa Youth told him by re-arresting Kanu.Kanu is innocent

  7. If you dont protect your defence, you will be victim of your enemy. kanu with ipob refused implementation of Biafran instruments we proposed that would have protect him not to be victim of the enemy molestation etc. again. As I already said, the kanu issue with the enemy- political poor northern bandits in the name of nigeria has nothing to do with God given Republic Of Biafra of the five south east states, because kanu with ipob do not abide by the principles of God given Republic Of Biafra of the five south east states. God Is With Us!!!

  8. @Asitis, I quite understand your situation you struggling to understand, it is not my position in actual sense, but what are involved, and what it takes to defend that position- which is God given Republic Of Biafra of the five south east states. You dont need to struggle or worry to understand the war, but be assured God given Republic Of Biafra of the five south east states deadline with the political name nigeria is October 1st 2017. God Is With Us!!!

  9. kanu said he is not afraid of going back to the enemy’s hostage. What is the present noise about? kanu with ipob group should be celebrating going back to the enemy’s hostage to come out as Mandela of their Biafra that includes south south, Benue etc. after 24 years.
