Ban Of National Anthem, Cow Meat: Don’t Jeopardize Your Case, Wabara Cautions IPOB
Former Senate President, Senator Adolphus Wabara, has cautioned the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, that banning national anthem and consumption of Fulani cows in Biafra land might jeopardise the case of IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
He urged the movement to be calm in the face of the current ordeals of Kanu instead of making utterances that could further aggravate the situation.
“The group shouldn’t further fuel the tension but should wait for other possible options. This might further jeopardize the situation on ground. They shouldn’t do that now”.
Similarly, the Chairman, Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Abia State chapter, Apostle Emmanuel Agomuo, completely disagreed with IPOB leadership on the latest order.
He said the group was taking laws into its hands as the order was not enforceable.
According to him, any attempt to enforce the order will result into serious confrontation with the federal authorities, a development he added, that would further worsen matters for people in the region.
He said the group should rather focus on efforts to secure release for its detained leader instead of dishing orders that are capable of setting the region on fire.
The CAN boss argued that even if President Muhamnadu Buhari had declined from considering political solution to Kanu, there could be other options of resolving the impasse.
“The order amounts to taking laws into their hands. We are talking of how to release Kanu. Pressure is on President Buhari to release Kanu, and they should not take any action that could truncate that effort.
These boys should not set South East on fire. We don’t support this style.”
