Nnamdi Kanu: 52 South-East, South-South groups vow to join IPOB

About 52 groups from the South East and the South South have threatened to merge with the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB), if Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not released unconditionally, in obedience to a high court ruling in December 2015 ordering his unconditional release.

The groups which met in Enugu, under the chairmanship of Bishop Micheal Ibeneme met at the residence of Chief (Mrs) Maria Okwor in Independence Layout Enugu. This would be their third meeting in recent months.

The groups comprising of Christian religious bodies, students associations, Town unions, Age grades, Traders Associations, Women’s groups, youth organizations and Elders council deliberated for several hours over the weekend on the state of the nation and concluded that the F.G is steadily making it difficult for the country to remain one, through its brazen, oppressive and determined effort to strike fear into the hearts of citizens
in order to foist a fascist reign of ethnic, regional and religious dominance of one region over another, and vowed to resist such unholy agenda, as “Capitulation to the agenda would mean sentencing our progeny to a permanent status of serfs, everything is being done to rub in that we are not part of Nigeria. Buhari is deliberately pushing us out of Nigeria\’.


The meeting which also had in attendance over a dozen groups from the Niger Delta insisted that the delay to redesign Nigeria to six regions is the source of 99% of the problems afflicting the nation today.

In a two point communique, the groups declared that six regional structure remains the only formula to salvage, and rebuild Nigeria, noting that those opposed to six regional structure were only working towards the eventual disintegration of the country. They said that all political, economic and social indicators pointed to the self-evident truth that only an early reversal to the six-regional structure will save the country now.

The groups also condemned in no uncertain terms the continued detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu after two courts of the land granted him unconditional release, maintaining that the over-ruling of the courts, by Mr. President in a television chat with journalists pointed to an unacceptable travesty, where the presidency takes final decision on matters properly handled by the judiciary.
