Fani-Kayode and the Temptations of Pantami’s Dinner Table

 

Written by Obinna Akukwe

 

The  Dinner Table of Isa Pantami, Nigeria’s Minister of Communications , has been very irresistible to many persons in my constituency  including journalists, activists and clerics and I was not surprised when it caught the attention of Femi Fani Kayode, Nigeria’s Chief Critic of Buhari Government.

 

Th

is man whom I asked President Buhari to investigate in the wake of the terrorist accusations, in a controversial piece I wrote titled ‘Isa Pantami! Terrorist in Buhari’s Cabinet’ have proven to be the most dangerous Muslim fisherman in Nigeria,  after his net caught the Adviser-in –Chief, Instigator-In –Chief, Whistle blower-In Chief and Mentor-In –Chief of NNandi Kanu, Sunday Igbogho and Indigenous Peoples of Biafra IPOB.

 

 I hinted in the piece that “though I do not know t know Pantami personally, but during the early menace of Boko Haram, when I reported extensively both locally and extensively on the activities of the terror group, I was told about an intelligent, scholarly, digital minded Northerner at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University by the name Isa Pantami. I was told this scholar is equally a Muslim fanatic. I don’t have a problem with fanaticism, provided it does not impede on another person’s faith”

The N5 billion Betrayal of Nnamdi Kanu; What I Told Igbo Clerics

 

 

written by Obinna Akukwe

 Since the past three weeks I have been summoned by notable Igbo Clerics, Archbishops, Bishops , Apostles of various denominations who knows me as long time Igbo and Church activist and queried about the claims that the leader of Indigenous Peoples of Biafra IPOB IPOB , Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been betrayed  for the sum of N5 billion naira gift from the Department of State Services DSS  in order to suspend the sit at home order.

 

Some clerics claimed N1 billion, N2 billion while some claimed N5 billion naira . When I inquired  about the sources of the news, I was told that it ts news from the local chapters of IPOB who cited sources within the Presidency and DSS.The rumors of the betrayals by Barrister Alloy Ejimakor, Emeka Ejiofor, Emma Powerful and Edozien Madu  has been rife since the third week of the Sit at home order was cancelled, but how the misinformation persisted till date is what I cannot understand.

While discussing with the BOT Secretary of Igbo Think Tank ITT Comrade Ibegbu in Enugu last month about the  Turning Igboland into the Japan of Africa Project TIJIA, of which I am a major driver, an aggrieved IPOB chieftain barged into our dscussions and  threatened to form a splinter group with his team if the aforementioned IPOB activists failed to vomit the billions they allegedly collected from the DSS, It took us another hour to convince the equally intellectually endowed Biafran that no such money exchanged hands.

Quit Notice to Igbo: In Support of Coalition of Northern Group, Kano Elders

 

Written by Obinna Akukwe

A northern group, Coalition of Northern Groups CNG had consisitently issued a sort of quit notice to Ndigbo, and asked the Emir of Kano, the President of Nigeria and the National Assembly to grant Igbos the leave to secede from Nigeria to avoid another round of bloodshed which resulted to a civil war... The Northern Elders Forum had also re-echoed the same views and recently the Kano Elders recently joined in seeking a referendum for Ndigbo, and I support their views.

 These groups cited the massive support the activities of Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, is getting, and the conspiratorial silence of Ohanaeze and Igbo elites as proof that Igbos want to secede from Nigeria.  The groups threw their weight behind the Biafra agitations; provide it will avert bloodshed in Nigeria.

Excerpts of the letter to the Emir of Kano by the CNG include;

 

“Since 2017, on almost a daily basis, IPOB/ESN have coordinated violent attacks, indiscriminate killings and destruction of properties of northerners that continued unceasingly in almost all South Eastern states and some South South communities.

Before Igbo Youth Go to War, Turn Igbo land into Japan of Africa TIJIA-Igbo Think Tank Tasks Elites

 

Igbo Think Tank has tasked Igbo elites to urgently develop and turn Igbo land into the Japan of Africa before Igbo Youth frustrated and angered over years of marginalization, unemployment and unequal opportunities, declares full blown war on the Nigerian State. This was contained in the address presented by the Deputy Chairman Board of Trustees of Igbo Think Tank and Convener of the ITT Roundtable on Security and Economy, Rev Obinna Akukwe at Enugu on Friday. The Cleric and veteran Igbo activist urged the elites to quickly swing into action before South East Youth angling for war against the Nigerian State, takes over the space.

He described as “unfortunate the politics of Unknown Gunmen and the deplorable abandonment of over 170 corpses of Ndigbo at the Federal Medical Centre Owerri, whose evacuation by family members was only recently authorized, murdered under the guise of seeking for IPOB, ESN and UGM. He also decried as worrisome a situation whereby key Igbo activists shared relevant intelligence among themselves on the impending attack on the Owerri Prisons yet the agencies saddled with prevention pretended to be helpless when the jailbreak occurred. The same case repeated in the attack at Zonal Police Headquarters Ukpo, Anambra State, and instead of taking preventive measures, the state agents prefer to arrest , incarcerate and murder  innocent bystanders and travelers  after the gunmen have  have disappeared.

Azikiwe, Ojukwu, Aguiyi-Ironsi gave us One Nigeria: Igbos Should Stop Blaming Others for their Woes

 

Written by Obinna Akukwe

Nnamdi Azikiwe, Odumegwu Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi gave us the ‘One Nigeria’, which Igbos claim is suffocating them today, therefore, the misplaced aggression towards Obafemi Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello, Tafawa Balewa, Ibrahim Babangida and Muhammadu Buhari for their perceived woes should first be directed at their kinsmen. It is therefore foolishness to pour invectives on Northern and Western leaders when the Igbo leaders of the pre-independence days, fought tooth and nail for the ‘Oneness’ of Nigeria.

This is the third time in my career as a writer, columnist and investigative journalist, that I will be using the term fools. The first time was in December 14^th 2014 when some Igbo foolish politicians at that time were gloating over Jonathan for a Niger Bridge to be built by Public-Private Partnerships. I wrote a piece titled ‘Fraudulent Construction of Second Niger Bridge; Another 419 on the Igbo Nation’, and followed it up with another tilted ‘Auctioning of 419 Second Niger Bridge and Jubilation of Igbo Fools’  where I stated that:

“Lots of Igbo fools, including many top politicians, traditional rulers and other misguided elements jubilated when President Goodluck Jonathan was dragged by Ex Gov Peter Obi to belatedly commission an auctioned 419 2nd Niger Bridge that will be tolled for 25 years. This president while seeking for Igbo votes in 2010 promised to deliver the bridge before the end of his tenure. Five years later and a year to the expiration of the same tenure, they concocted a PPP arrangement to make the Igbo pay for the bridge through the back door”

Arrest: I Warned Nnamdi Kanu, Saved Him From Assassination!

Written by Obunna Akukwe

I warned Nnamdi Kanu publicly that there is a plot to assassinate him before October 1^st, 2021, and it is very unfortunate that he never took the warning serious, and made himself vulnerable for arrest. However, my consolation is that the forces that wanted him assassinated, heeded my public warnings that it will bring bloodshed to Nigeria, and instead opted for his arrest. I gave the warnings concerning plot to assassinate Kanu on June 9^th, and 75 Northern Groups placed a bounty of N100 million naira on his head, eight days later on June 17^th, and he was arrested on June 27^th, eighteen days after my warnings. Those who ignore my warnings or advice will surely land in net, be it Buhari, Kanu, Governors, Boko Haram or whatever.

Before the controversial APC botched primaries in Anambra, I begged some Igbo leaders to abandon the primaries, and let us negotiate with some aggrieve elements in the north to stave off an imminent evil is about to happen to Nnamdi Kanu, capable of triggering a bloody conflict in Nigeria. The Igbo leaders postponed the negotiations, claimed Kanu is invincible, and rescheduled the negotiations till after the APC and PDP primaries to ensure their favoured candidate wins. Alas! Delay is dangerous! Today the Biafra Youth Hero is arrested, and this time around, there will be no more bail for him.

Shameless: How APC Cancelled Zonal Rally because of IPOB, ESN and UGM

Written by Obinna Akukwe

 

It is a shame that the All Progressive Congress, of which I am a member, postponed the zonal congress earlier scheduled for Okpara Square, Enugu on 30^th of May, due to the scare of IPOB, ESN and UGM. It is a big shame and it shows the caliber of people plotting the affairs of the party in the South East.

I was called by some key chieftains of the party and drafted into one or two sub committees for the success of the rally, but I smelt foul when I heard that Governor Uzodimma was in support of postponing the event for fear of attack.

APC has two Governors in the South East, and Six Cabinet Ministers, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffery Onyeama, Minister of Labour, Dr. Chris Ngige, Minister of Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, Minister of State for Education, Hon. Emeka Nwajiuba, and the Minister of State for Mines and Steel Development, Mr. Uche Oga, Minister of State for Women Affairs, Sharon Ikeazor with four of them substantive ministers. So these men do not have enough boys to dialogue, appease, or contain members of IPOB, ESN or UGM, and hold a successful rally.

Assassination Plot: Buhari,Nnamdi Kanu Vaccinist, Unknown Politicians

 

Written by  Obinna Akukwe

 

I want to alert the Buhari handlers and the Igbo elites that part of the events earmarked to occur in Nigeria  before October 1^st 2021 leading  to untold chaos is the plan by the Deep State and Vaccinist conglomerate to assassinate Muhammadu Buhari, and another plot by Unknown Politicians, to assassinate Nnamdi Kanu. Those who take these warnings from impeccable diplomatic sources that craved anonymity lightly will face the consequences of half mast in Aso Rock AND bloody conflict in Eastern Nigeria. 

I am writing to alert these individuals, because their assassinations will likely put Nigeria into another dangerous succession crisis and full blown conflict of unimaginable proportion. I want to warn the internal corroborators to put the interest of the nation at heart. 

 

 Buhari’s sin is that he has not allowed the mass vaccinating of Nigerians during the second phase of Covid-19 wave. The deep state has seen Buhari as unwilling tool in the plot to turn Nigeria into a huge vaccine experiment. The pressures to make the Covid-19 Vaccine compulsory has failed and the deep state are shopping for a pliant replacement.  It is God that frustrated the attempt to mass vaccinate Nigerians, putting the blame on Buhari shows that the Deep State is yet to understand that there is ‘God that ANSWERS Prayers in Africa’

Is Pantami a Terrorist In Buhari’s Cabinet?

 

 

Written by Obinna Akukwe

Sheikh Isa Pantami, Nigeria’s Communications Minister has been trending on social media after a print media, Daily Independent, claimed he is a terrorist in the watch list of the United States Government. Since then , the embattled cabinet minister have employed all manners of tactics including hiring writers, threats, hacking of accounts, denial and all sorts to deny the terrorist tag on him.  Though it was reported that the story was retracted, I know the circumstances that led to the retraction, and I know that Pantami had unleashed paid writers to defend him at all costs.

I do not know Pantami personally, but during the early menace of Boko Haram, I was told about an intelligent, scholarly, digital minded Northerner at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University by name Isa Pantami. I was told this scholar is equally a Muslim fanatic. I don’t have problem with fanaticism, provided it does not impede on another person’s faith.

I knew that Buhari and Sanusi are both fanatical about their faith and I have always supported them in their travails with the political systems, all through 2003 till date. The fight against Boko Haram was engulfing Jonathan, and we enlisted many to either force him to take action or get booted out.

 

One name that always drops when I interact with northern clerics and intellectuals is Pantami. While the Muslims believe he is a patriot, my Christian friends warned me that Pantami is a terrorist who instigated further crisis in Jos during the Jona -Jang era by asking Muslims to fight Christians. I was also told that as Chief Imam he instigated crisis in ATBU and led to the murder of a Christian Student leader of ECWA by name Sunday Achi, for daring to host religious programme on campus.
