2023: Buhari Under Pressure To Dialogue With Nnamdi Kanu, Dokubo, Uwazurike, Others Ahead Of 2023 General Presidential Election – Ohanaeze
President Mohamadu Buhari is said to be under pressure to meet with Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, The Niger-Delta Avengers and the Oduduwa warlords ahead of the 2023 Presidential Election.
According to the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, OYC, ” we have called on the government of President Muhammadu Buhari to choose the option of dialogue with all the agitators in the country”.
The OYC identified at least three groups the presidency needs to dialogue with and they include, the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, The Niger-Delta Avengers and the Oduduwa warlords.
The group wants Asari Dokubo; Nnamdi Kanu, Ralph Uwazurike, Uchenna Madu, Ben Onwuka and others to work with the government for peace to reign.
The position of OYC and statement was jointly signed by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, OYC President General, Comrade Obinna Achionye, OYC Deputy National President General; and Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, OYC Secretary-General.
According to OYC, the president of Ghana and ECOWAS should be in-charge of this dialogue to make it bounding and to show seriousness and transparency.
The statement read: “We describe the self-determination and non-violent actions of all Biafran agitators, especially the IPOB as the World’s largest Movement of Africans to demonstrate the grievances and passionate aggression towards addressing the perceived persecutions of a section of Nigeria by internal oppressors in a country where human and natural resources are abundantly used unjustly against the goose that lay the golden eggs and her denied fundamental rights and privileges especially as witnessed in the sharing of FG COVID-19 palliative care during the coronavirus pandemic, where North was used to allegedly siphon the money meant for all.
“OYC urge the central government that there’s an urgent need for the total healing of past wounds and distrust that had lingered 50 years after the Biafra War ended.
“There’s no functional solution for peace except for dialogue, and each party has drawn up conditions and reach terms for peace. The reported influx of Almajiris to the South has changed the mood of the country, and there should be the need for the presidency to dialogue with all agitators, including Oduduwa Warlords, Niger Delta Avengers and Biafran agitators.
We will be inviting The president of Ghana and ECOWAS to Moderate this inevitable dialogue to avert possible collapse of Nigeria.
“We call on all Biafran agitators, especially IPOB to be peaceful and law-abiding and ensure a change of direction and strategy and end the ferocious struggle through allegations and abuses.
The idea for this dialogue is to ensure the country remains as a one truly united entity. If you look around you, you will agree with me that the country is tilting to a failed state already.
“We appreciate their legitimate role to exploit all peaceful and non-violent activities to expose the pains of the old Eastern Region. Nnamdi Kanu, Asari Dokubo, Raph Uwazurike, Uchenna Madu and Ben Onwuka should be patience and peaceful as the collaborative process will make the sun to rise in the East.”
