Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>A chieftain of the Igbo socio-political organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chuks Ibegbu, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to engage Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Islamic Movement in Nigeria, IMN, and other agitators in a roundtable discussion.<\/p>\n

Ibegbu said Kanu would put an end to his agitations if Buhari calls him to a father-son discussion.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively with DAILY POST, the former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of Ohanaeze said Buhari should extend the same gesture to IMN and other agitators in a bid to stop the push for secession.<\/p>\n

According to Ibegbu: \u201cBuhari does not want to sit and talk to agitators. A good leader will call those with grievances for discussion. Instead of using the police and army to fight your home citizens and killing them, call them to a round table discussion.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuhari should call Nnamdi Kanu saying look \u201cyou are my son what is your problem? Can\u2019t we build a better Nigeria? How do you want Biafra?\u2019 Kanu will say, \u201cfather, this is how I want Biafra\u2019 and Buhari will say no, let\u2019s have a round table discussion to solve this problem.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me tell you, if Buhari does this, Nnamdi Kanu will see him as a father that cares for his son and would stop all these things. Then he will meet with El-Zakzaky\u2019s people, telling them, \u2018I know you want an Islamic state but it\u2019s not possible in a nation like Nigeria. However, you can have your religious freedom, and I will release your leader. You will see that El-Zakzaky and his men will calm down.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThen Buhari will come to Boko Haram, telling them \u2018look, we can\u2019t have an Islamic state in amercenariesic group, I can give you amnesty\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf they refuse and opt to continue fighting, then he should invite mercenaries to crush them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
