| Stop killing unarmed Biafrans -Fani Kayode to Buhari |
Our government must stop the barbaric and consistent slaughter of IPOB
members that we have been witnessing in the last few weeks and months.
The more Biafrans we kill the stronger the cause for Biafra gets. The
logic is simple and it ought to be obvious to every discerning mind: we
cannot fight a war on two fronts.
We cannot fight Boko Haram in the north and at the same time fight
Biafra in the south. This is the time for us to bury the hatchet and
reach out to those passionate young igbos that feel marginalised and
despised and that are obviously disgruntled. This is the time for us to
stretch out a hand of friendship to them and to attempt to soothe their
pain. The igbo are not our enemies: they are our compatriots.
Whether we like it or not we must treat them with the requisite respect
and sensitivity that they deserve. The more we kill their unarmed youth
simply for marching in the streets and insisting on their right of
self-determination, the more we are courting a disaster and possibly a
second civil war.
God forbid that it should ever come to that. God forbid that Nigerian
should ever slaughter Nigerian again. God forbid that we should, once
again, lose our peace on this country and witness the horrors and
barbarity of yet another civil war.
