Politicians Sabotaging Nnamdi Kanu's Release- Igbo Mandate Congress, Ohanaeze Leaders Spits Fire

 

 Igbo Mandate Congress IMC has reported that notable Igbo politicians interested in 2023 elections are sabotaging the plot by the Buhari regime to release Nnamdi KANU.

This was contained in a quarterly situation report to stakeholders of Ohanaeze Ndigbo and Igbo Elders Consultative Forum at Enugu on Thursday by the Director General of Igbo Mandate Congress IMC, Rev Obinna Akukwe.

According to the Igbo leader, " Igbo Mandate Congress have reached advanced stage in negotiations for the release of the leader of Indigenous Peoples of Biafra IPOB with the Northern establishment, military and security agencies and cabals within the Presidency but politicians of Igbo extraction aware of our secret plot have frustrated the moves.

“We have contacted some traditional rulers and Muslim clerics to put pressures on Buhari to show pity on Nnamdi KANU’s condition, since 2021 , but whenever the deal is about to be struck , some Igbo politicians interested in 2023 elections will bring damning information that Kanu’s boys cannot be controlled, and that the initiator of bloody  of Sit at Home should be made to Sit and Rot in DSS detention"

Akukwe asked the stakeholders and Igbo Elders to convince the politicians that Nnamdi KANU is not an impediment to anybody in 2023.

Akukwe said that though Simon Ekpa , commander of IPOB Auto-Pilot is an irritant those clamoring for his rendition to Nigeria has no capacity to do such because powerful forces in Finland are giving him protection.  He noted that Simon Ekpa was a recent confidant of Nnamdi Kanu until the feud between him and the DOS turned him into an international irritant.

He said that Igbo Mandate Congress through its members in Europe , are pressurizing Simon Ekpa to abandon his plot to scuttle the 2023 polls and so far the plot to burn down Peter Obi's banners and billboards as follow-up to the December 9th-14th Sit at Home , has been suspended.

In his response, the Special Counsellor to Igbo Mandate Congress and former governor of Anambra State, Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife described politicians sabotaging all efforts to release KANU as enemies of Ndigbo

According to Ezeife “it is unfortunate that KANU is still in detention after the Court of Appeal Judgments discharging him. It is equally unfortunate that our politicians are secretly behind his ordeal.

" Buhari should not listen to the stomach infrastructure politicians but rather hearken to the voice of reasonable Ohanaeze elders so as to bring peace to the South East. He asked Simon Ekpa not to spoil show for Ndigbo"

Dr Ezeife commends Igbo Mandate Congress peace efforts in Nigeria and expressed willingness to follow wherever he is called for guarantees for Nnamdi Kanu’s release.

They delegation later retired to discuss issues and strategies concerning 2023 polls, concerns over Igbo voters in the North, insecurity in the South East and the efforts being made to contain those bent on causing mayhem during the elections .
