Abubakar Malami's Press Release Of Calumny Against IPOB And Nnamdi Kanu
The Nigerian government's administration has nosedived South, at the full glare of the global community. This is due to the high level of nepotism, religious and ethnic intolerance that have instigated the economic progress and human development to run on parallel opposites. Administrative competence and leadership trust are bedrocks for a country's long-term sustainability and socio-economic stability, which the Nigerian government and leadership so terribly lack.
The Attorney General of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Abubakar Malami, is a prime example of gross leadership incompetence and administrative humiliation. His recent press release which centered on lies and fallacies, has demonstrated to the world, the genuine basis for the Indigenous People of Biafra's (IPOB's) constant demand for the restoration of their God-given nation to enable them live as free people, free of ethnic and religious divisions.
The allegation that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the self-proclaimed leader of IPOB, is the first of the shameful news briefings. This is completely unacceptable since, contrary to what Abubakar Malami claimed, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was chosen by the people. The people of Biafra have defied treachery and demonstrated to the rest of the world that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a leader who values his people and is committed to the rule of law. He talks with reason, and the people of Biafra obey his words without disputation. He has broken several barriers. Abubakar Malami also falsely accused Mazi Nnamdi Kanu of waging a subversive campaign against the Nigerian government. This is a calculated ploy to unfairly play the subjugation dice and deny equity a chance of survival. The deliberate usage of the word subversive, has no bearing on the policies and demands of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's IPOB. He has consciously requested that Biafrans' civil rights be liberated from the Nigerian experiment by a United Nations' supervised Referendum. The quest for self-determination has had nothing to do with the term "subversive campaign" against the Nigerian state, as Abubakar Malami cruelly and uneducatedly called it. All indigenous nationalities and peoples have the right to self-determination and to request a UN-supervised referendum. Their intents should not be misunderstood or stigmatized but rather, they should be maintained and allowed to flourish in order to foster peaceful coexistence among people.
The level of nepotism that is in full swing against the people of Biafra can also be seen in Abubakar Malami's calumny speech referring to the unjust proscription of indigenous citizens of Biafra as terrorists on 20th September 2017, who were forcibly amalgamated into the Nigerian experiment as territory because of their demand for self-determination under a United Nations supervised referendum. Even in their fight for freedom from colonial imperialism and the Nigerian state, the Indigenous People of Biafra, led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who are residing in many countries around the world, have demonstrated to be peace-loving people. The Nigerian government's proscription of Biafrans in September 2017 was a calculated move to justify the planned genocide targeted against Biafrans by the Nigerian armed forces, at the instance of President Muhammadu Buhari's administration.
Governors of States in different regions have disputed the idea that IPOB is responsible for the burning of police stations and the killing of officers in Nigeria, blaming the attacks on political state players, who are hell-bent on making the country ungovernable.
Finally, after his abnormal bail condition before the Federal High Court in Abuja, Abubakar Malami has shamefully declined to tell the world the truth regarding Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's being in exile. Malami kept quiet about Kanu's escape from assassination by the Nigerian military in his home on 14th September 2017, during which twenty-eight (28) unarmed Biafran people were gruesomely slaughtered. Despite the baseless charges of supposed treasonable crime, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu never defied the Nigerian government's kangaroo bail restrictions and has sworn categorically, to defeat them in their own court. The leader of IPOB has yet to be found guilty of any crime by the government in their own court.
The Buhari led administration must recognize that time and patience are running out and that the people of Biafra may not be able to hold out much longer. Self-determination is not a crime under any known law and it must be honored in order to eliminate the colonialists' fake nationhood boundary lines. Nigeria is an experiment and the indigenous peoples who wish to be free must be offered actual freedom of their dreams not just flag independence.
