South east group slams Arewa youths over opposition to demand for Kanu’s release

 

Igbo youths under the umbrella of South East Youths for Equity Alliance (SEYEA), has carpeted Arewa youth Consultative Forum, over opposition to the demand for release of the leader of the Indigeneous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

The Northern group spoke after a meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari and Igbo elders led by Chief Mbazulike Amaechi.

President of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, Yerima Shettima, in an interview with  had claimed that allowing Kanu to go unpunished would be harmful to Nigeria and the Federal Government.

However, SEYEA, in a statement by its President, Comrade Ekeh Ifeanyi Chimezie and made available to  on Monday, regretted that Arewa youth have turned themselves as tool of Nigeria’s disintegration, as they have always seen themselves and the north as Nigerians while others are not through their actions and inactions.

The southeast group accused the Arewa youths of promoting disunity, bigotry, ethnic and religious differences and always quick to kick against anything that will promote peace and unity.

SEYEA also noted that it lied in the institutionalization of peace and unity in Nigeria through the genuine practice of tolerance, justice, equity and fairness, reiterating her earlier stance and calling for the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu.

The youth organization threw its support behind the visit of Igbo elders and their honest request from President Muhammadu Buhari which is a sure pathway to ease the tension in the country.

According to SEYEA, “release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a means to National healing and anyone who is against it, should be seen as an enemy of the country”.

The southeast socio-cultural organization, further stated that the demand of the Igbo elders will not in anyway jeopardize the Clarion call for 2023 Nigeria President of Southeast extraction as claimed by the Arewa youths, rather it would go along way to tell Nigerians that they can do way with selfish and regional interests of the nation by allowing equity and fairness to prevail through a collective support and election of a southeasterner as President Muhammadu Buhari’s successor

Parts of SEYEA’s statement read, “For us South East Youths for Equity Alliance an integral part of Nigeria Youths for Equity Initiative, we are poised for a united Nigeria where peace, equity, justice and fairness reigns. In that, we have held ourselves from provocations and that is the reason we have refused to react to some of these unhealthy and provocative positions of our brothers in the North under the auspices of Arewa Youths.

“We are not surprised seeing them condemn what has received a wide National acceptance and commendations of the request of the Igbo Greats (a delegation of eminent Igbo leaders) from President Muhammadu Buhari and the President’s assurance to them when the former visited the latter in Aso Rock”.

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021.

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
