The leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has described the call by Northern Elders Forum for restructuring of Nigeria, as nonsense, adding that the country has failed beyond restructuring.
Prof. Ango Abdullahi, the Chairman of Northern Elders Forum (NEF)had on Monday said in an interview with Vanguard that the north is ready for the restructuring of the Nigerian nation to make it more viable.
“We are a consuming state now rather than a productive state. So, I can assure you that the North, at least from my own perspective and the perspectives of many groups in the North here, is ready to engage in serious discussions as to how to reshape the Nigerian state to something that is better for not only now but also for the future generations that will be coming behind us,” Abdullahi said.
In response, Kanu in a statement published on his official Facebook page, said;
“Somebody should remind this Janjaweed agent of British neo-colonialist rule in the Zoo #Nigeria of what Prophet Joshua Ingila said a few years ago. The time for a negotiated settlement to the problems bedeviling the Zoo has come and gone.
“You Arewa Sharia north had ample opportunities in the past to renegotiate your British created contraption but you repeatedly said NO because you had civilian killing terrorists in uniform called Nigerian Army behind you. Now that original indigenous populations led by IPOB have said enough is enough, you are coming up with this nonsensical restructuring. I say this to you and your handlers, TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE!
“That same guns you northern criminal elements have always relied upon to intimidate other tribes into submission, we all now have.
“When Prophet Ingila said “dialogue now” you morons from the Sahel should have listened. Right now its referendum for independence or burst. Chineke kpo unu nile oku!”.
