A group, New Foundation of National Understanding (NFNM), which has
retired military officer and activists amongst their fold, has called
upon Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan to postpone the 2015
Presidential elections and prepare for war against agents that wants to
invade Southern Nigeria using Boko Haram. The group alleged that there
is a plot by some few disgruntled politician and religious extremists of
northern extraction to extend the reign of terror of Boko Haram to the
South East, South West and South West, causing disaffection among Igbos
and Yorubas while Boko Haram takes over the entire South on a religious
agenda. The Group claimed that their petition is already before the
President and Commander-in Chief as well as Heads of Security Agencies.
The leader of the group and a retired military officer, Mr Chris Okigbo explained this when he led a delegation on a courtesy call on the Director General of Igbo Mandate Congress (IMC) and chieftain of General Association ofall Igbo Christian Organizations and Ministers(GAAICOM), Rev Obinna Akukwe at Abuja during the weekend. Mr Okigbo informed the Igbo Mandate Congress leaders that Boko Haram was meant to be another pogrom against the South in angst over the emergence of Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan as President of Nigeria.
