The National Chairman, African Democratic Congress (ADC), Chief Ralph Okey Nwosu, Wednesday, urged President Muhammadu Buhari led federal government to apply international processes and protocols in dealing with the matters of rearrested Nnamdi Kanu.
Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), was rearrested and incalcirated to Nigeria after about four years of jumping bail, according to the statement from Abubakar Malami, the Attorney General of Federation.
Nwosu, who made the call at Awka, said “I advise President Muhammadu Buhari to regard this development as a significant milestone in nation and peace building in a diverse country like ours. The government must not fail to show valued act of statecraft that posits Nigeria as a discplined and responsible Democratic nation.
“There are established international processes and protocols for dealing with the matters. In all, the citizen’s rights and privileged must be accorded Nnamdi Kanu. Ndigbo, Nigerians and the world are watching. Also, I must say that the adverse performance of the APC and President Buhari government in dealing with our diversity as a country have created deluge of challenges for all.
“The military, police, state securities and intelligence organs are overstretched, depressed and demoralised because of the failings of our political leaders. The president, governors and legislators are all in the same rotten tomato basket. The symptoms are the insecurity, poverty, unemployment, youth restiveness and ethnic militia and agitations rocking the country.
“Our country has become almost irrelevant in international circuit and even to ourselves. Many concerned leaders have been calling for national conversation. Kanu is now in the country. Igboho and others are around. I therefore, call on President Buhari to seize this moment and call for National Dialogue for the sake of our country, now and generations to come.”
