In it’s reaction to the decision of Appellate Court to suppress the treason charges and terrorism levelled against Kanu, Ahanaeze disclosed this in a statement signed by the group secretary, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro on Thursday.
The socio-cultural group pleaded the government to settle with the Biafra agitator through dialogue.
The statement in part reads,“FG should be mature enough to know that the Kanu’s victory is no victor no vanquished status quo, the best way for FG to reconcile with Biafra agitators should be through dialogue, they will kick off the process of reconciliation by not appealing to the Kanu’s victory over FG, this should be the guarantee’s offer for IPOB to dialogue with FG.
“This is the rarest chance in history to end insecurity challenges in the Southeast.”
“Ohanaeze advises the FG to extend the hands of fellowship to southern agitators in line with President Buhari’s commitment to end insecurity and handover a more United Nigeria in 2023 ” Dialogue should be the next phase and options for the Federal Government to achieve peace in Southeast, Igbo leaders are ready to accompany Kanu to Buhari for genuine dialogue, it’s up to Federal Government to do the needful”.
