Former governor of Anambra State, Chukwuemeka Ezeife, says the rearrest of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and Yoruba agitator, Sunday Igboho, indicates that the Federal Government is pushing the South out of Nigeria.
Ezeife, however, stressed the need for the Nigerian government to engage agitators in a dialogue.
The former governor also stated that the travail of Kanu and Igboho may fast-track the call for restructuring of Nigeria.
“Well, we are praying that the whole issue be converted to a dialogue. Let us dialogue on why IPOB is crying. Why are people like me saying the Federal Government is pushing us out of Nigeria? Can we dialogue in the interest of one peaceful Nigeria? Can we dialogue on developing, growing one Nigeria?
“So, the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu might fast-track achieving the restructuring and fairness of Nigerian system. As the same with (Sunday) Igboho in Yorubaland, seen as an opposition by the Nigerian government. Why would Yoruba or Igbo want to go if they are treated well because nobody is born into slavery in their own country?”
