Fayose Hails Sourth Kanu’s Meeting With Sourth East.
The governor of Ekiti state, Mr Ayodele Fayose has hailed Governors of the South-East states for their Wednesday’s meeting with leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
The meeting has provided a veritable platform, which all Igbo must key into otherwise they will remain guinea pigs as long as this country exists.
The governor, who urged 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’s 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 said he was “particularly glad that South East 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 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 witness now. A father figure rallies even the bad boys in his house.
The utterances and actions 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leaders for standing up to ensure that the Arewa Youths’ quit notice against the Igbo in the North was resolved and withdrawn without necessarily arresting and detaining anyone, said; “I am sure that the same can be achieved by the Igbo leaders as arresting or re-arresting Kanu may be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.
