STILL ON NO ELECTION 2017!!! AS FAYOSE HAILS SOUTHEAST GOVERNOR’S MEETING
WITH NNAMDI KANU….SEE
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has hailed Governors of the South-East states for their meeting with leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
Speaking with Christian Rowland in a press interview with ODOGWU MEDIA at the resident of the Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose. He said “the meeting has provided a veritable platform,
which all Igbos must key into, otherwise they will remain guinea pig as long as
this country exists.”
The governor, who appealed to the federal government to
allow political solutions to agitations by Nigerians as against the use of
brute force, which, he said had become the hallmark of the President Muhammadu
Buhari-led federal government, said he remained committed to the call for full
and total restructuring of Nigeria through dialogue and negotiation because it
was too late for Nigeria to disintegrate.
Special Assistant to the governor on Public Communications
and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said in a statement issued in Ado
Ekiti on Thursday, that Governor Fayose was “particularly glad that
Southeast governors have come to the realisation that they
cannot ignore their own in times like these as agitations are normal and must
not be ignored, although the approach should be handled with caution.”
He blamed the actions and utterances of President Muhammadu
Buhari for the agitations going on in the country, saying; “The father
figure of this country is President Buhari and if his language does not
represents unity, there will be agitations like we are
witnessing now. A father figure rallies even the bad boys in his house.
“The utterances and actions of the when he became President
were against the unity of this country. How can a president say that he will
only attend to the needs of those who gave him 97 per cent vote and neglect
others who didn’t vote for him.
“For Nigeria to move forward and in unity; there must be no sectionalism, there must be no oppression and there must be
justice and equity.”
The governor, who commended the Northern leaders for
standing up to ensure that the Arewa Youths’ quit notice against the Igbos in
the North was resolved and withdrawn without necessarily
arresting and detaining anyone, said, “I am sure that the same can be achieved
by the Igbo leaders as arresting or re-arresting Kanu may be
counterproductive as it may be perceived as vilification of
the entire Southeast Region, not necessarily Kanu as a person.” The statement read in part; “This meeting has provided a
veritable platform, which all Igbos must key into otherwise they will remain
guinea pig as long as this country exists.
“That His Royal Highness, Eze Israel Okwu Kanu, the father
of the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu and elder-statesman, Professor Ben Nwabueze
(SAN),were part of the meeting is a sign of strong determination and unity on the part of the South-East leaders and their governors,
which I believe will end up in the amicable resolution of all issues involved,
especially by pro-Biafra activists, especially the IPOB.
“While I appeal to the federal government to allow political
solutions to agitations by Nigerians as against the use of brute force, which, regrettably, has become the hallmark of this administration,
I remain committed to the call for full and total restructuring of Nigeria
through dialogue and negotiation. Even though it is too late for Nigeria to
disintegrate, we do not need APC kind of restructuring.
“Once again, I salute my brother governors from the
Southeast for their historic meeting of yesterday and I urge them not to relent
in their efforts to bring lasting peace and harmony to their region.
“While I also commend the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu for his
display of humility and commitment to peace by attending the meeting, I enjoin
him to cooperate with leaders of the region going forward.
