The Apex sociocultural Youth organization of Ndigbo world wide, Ohanaeze Youth Council(OYC) has described the shocking revelation of Mr. Femi Adesina days ago that former President Buhari considered assassination of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu should shock the conscience of not only Nigerians but that of Britain and the international communities
Speaking with press men at Nicon Luxury Hotel Abuja on Wednesday 24th January 2024, the national President General Ohanaeze Youth Council(OYC) Comrade Igboayaka O Igboayaka Stated “For Nigerians with awareness of Buhari’s lackadaisical approach to the insecurity that ravaged the North during his term, the idea that he considered assassinating a self determination agitator like Mazi Nnamdi Kanu says a lot about the disdain and tribalistic mindset he had for Ndigbo and for freedom to hold political opinion.
Comrade Igboayaka stressed that, “for Britain, this very revelation of attempted assassination on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by former president Mohammadu Buhari is all that it needs to act quickly to protect the life and liberty of her citizen, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Indigenous People of Biafra group. It is baffling that in 1984, Britain severely punished Nigeria for attempting to rendition late Alhaji Umaru Dikko but from all indications and empirical evidence it has not demonstrated sufficient interest in protecting Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, a bonafide British citizen. This is a worrisome and suspicious to Igbo Race over British political and diplomatic romance with the undemocratic tyrannical government of Nigeria. Therefore, we call the British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to do the right thing without further ado.
Ohanaeze Youth Council(OYC) also calls on all men and women of good conscience and the international community to pivot, leverage on this troubling revelation of attempted assassination of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by former president Mohammadu Buhari as a reference point for demanding the unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
Comrade Igboayaka further noted that “Nothing less is desirable because a jurisdiction/ government that considers assassination of human rights activists can never be trusted to have the democratic and moral capacity to give such activists a fair trial.
It’s crystal clear that eight(8) years of former president Mohammadu Buhari was a calculated assassination project against Ndigbo. Therefore, it is obvious to over 50 million new generation of Igbo extraction in the Globe, that Operation Python Dance launched by former president Mohammadu Buhari and attack of September 2017 at Mazi Nnamdi Kanu country home at Afara Umuahia which took over two hundred (200) lives of Igbo Youth was orchestrated assassination operation designed by Nigeria government.
“In the same vein, Ohanaeze Youth Council(OYC) called on President Ahmed Bola Tinubu to dissociate himself and his presidency from this bloodthirsty against Ndigbo and barbaric mindset of assassination of Self-determination human rights activists by releasing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from detention.
