Ignore Nnamdi Kanu, accept his message, Group tells Buhari

A pan Igbo socio political group, The Reformers’ Platform, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to ignore the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, but accept his message that the country urgently needs restructuring. 

The group, however, faulted the approach adopted by Kanu, but added that the agitation by IPOB has engendered a salutary effect on the Nigerian polity, and advised Buhari not to ‘throw away the baby with the bath water’. The group condemned the proscription of the IPOB by the South East governors and labelling of the group as a terrorist organization as too hasty.

In a statement signed by the National President, David Iro Agbaeze and National Secretary, Emeka Nwankwo, respectively, the group noted that the agitation by IPOB had drawn attention to the need to restructure the country and ensure that the component units find greater accommodation and satisfaction in a united Nigeria.
