THE RESTORATION OF BIAFRA NATION

A prominent civil Rights advocacy group, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has accused the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration of serial defecation and disrespect of the constitution of Nigeria. According to the organisation, the government under Buhari’s watch was willfully demolishing the national economy of the country. HURIWA, therefore, advocated emergency actions by citizens to compel the Nigerian government to halt the systematic destruction of the Country. The rights group also decried the existence of the National Assembly’s leadership that is allegedly pliant, inept, cash-driven, unpatriotic and hedonistic, asking Nigerians to play their civic oversight role of demanding accountability and transparency in governance or use civil resistance strategy to protest the rot. In a statement signed by Emmanuel Onwubiko, its National Coordinator and made available to DAILY POST on Wednesday, HURIWA said, “The damage unleashed on ...

Emotion betrayed Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero, the new emir of Kano, Wednesday, after receiving his letter of appointment alongside his brother, Nasiru Ado Bayero as the Emirs of Kano and Bichi respectively at the Kano Government House Coronation Hall, Kano State. Bayero has also been elevated as the Chairman, Council of Emirs by Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje. This followed the dethronement and banishment of Sanusi Muhammadu II as the emir of Kano by the Ganduje-led government. The Emir, who received letters of engagement from Governor Ganduje, broke down in tears while recalling how his father, the late Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero preached to them about tolerance, patience and simplicity. Aminu Ado Bayero, who was visibly excited, said he would maintain the systematic ways his father, the late Ado Bayero handled his kingship. He said, “Our father has been preaching peace, tolerance, love, harmony and unity, which he said remain the best critical tools for a better...

The Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai has approved the appointment of former Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, into the board of Kaduna Investment Promotion Agency, KADIPA. Sanusi’s appointment is coming barely 24 hours after he was dethroned by the Kano State Government for disobeying lawful authorities. However, a statement by El-Rufai’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Muyiwa Adekeye, said the governor approved Sanusi’s appointment while reconstituting the board of KADIPA. According to the statement, Sanusi was named the Vice Chairman of the board. The statement reads: “Malam Nasir El-Rufai has appointed His Highness, Muhammad Sanusi II into the board of KADIPA. The appointment is part of the reconstitution of the board of KADIPA, which is statutorily chaired by the Deputy Governor, and has as internal members senior officials of the Kaduna State Government. “Governor El-Rufai said that Kaduna State hopes to benefit from the profile, experience...

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, OYC, has raised the alarm over a planned attack on pro-Biafra groups, the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, by Fulani herdsmen. This was contained in a statement signed by the President-General of OYC, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro and Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, Secretary-General, and made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday. The Igbo apex youth organisation said that Boko Haram terrorists masquerading as herdsmen may invade South-East in an attempt to destroy the fragile peace being enjoyed in the region, calling on Ndigbo at home and the diaspora to persuade the Governors in the region to hasten up their plans for the establishment of Southeast Regional outfit, Ogbunigwe. OYC demand immediate action to prevent the looming danger of attacking Igbos in our zone. Southeast Governors Forum through the South East Security Committee should ensure the...

Dethroned Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sansu II has been whisked off the State amid tight security. Before being taken away by heavy Security Personnel of DSS, Police and Military, Emir Sanusi was put under house arrest with the Palace sealed off by the armed security operatives. Already Abdullahi Umar Ganduje is set to announce the appointment of a new emir, following the removal of the Emir earlier today. An impeccable source in the Government House had hinted that the governor, who is currently presiding over an emergency Executive Council Meeting, will announce the new emir soon. Although there is no tentative person to be appointed, speculations are rife that the governor will announce Emir of Bichi, Aminu Ado Bayero to replace the embattled Sanusi. Recall that Ganduje announced the removal of the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria over disrespect to constituted authorities, an act contrary to part 3, section 13 of the Kano State Emirate Law 2019. Th...

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, has mocked former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, former President Olusegun Obasanjo and a ex-military commander, General Theophilus Danjuma, over their separate calls for restructuring of the country. General Yakubu Gowon (retd), had at a public event organised by Igbo Leadership Development Foundation on Thursday, admitted that the Igbo nation had been marginalised in Nigeria’s polity. He said, “I believe that a lot of injustice has been done to the Igbos and a constitutional debate on restructuring must address all imbalances and restore hope and confidence. Also, Obasanjo had condemned the current state of affairs in the country in his speech on Saturday at the Frederick Fasehun 1st Memorial Lecture. The ex-Military leader said, “We estimated that Federal Government would suppress the Biafran rebellion within three months. To make allowances for the unforeseen, we allowed six months...

Lately, some notable politicians have showed support for the restructuring of Unitary Nigeria. Even wartime generals have suddenly turned “civil” in their language and appear somewhat willing to cast their blessings on the inevitable. I mean, we  never  had seen a time when the Nigerian military class of 1966-1999 would entertain any dialogue that would prove to be potent enough to indict the Union of Attrition or its fraudulent constitution forcefully handed over to “ we the people .” Some would say that the watchmen slumbered for too long or perhaps sat with their eyes wide open and in conspiratorial silence as they bore witness to the gradual collapse of the House of Lugard. And that their patriotism which they proclaimed and continue to proclaim in their khaki uniforms and military boots, in their Agbada and Suit and with their guns and ammunitions did not only bleed the Union but also the human beings entrapped in it. But these watchmen know one thing whic...
