IT’S A SHAME THAT 57 YEARS AFTER ABURI ACCORD NIGERIA STILL TALKS OF RESTRUCTURING – OMIRHOBO

IT’S A SHAME THAT 57 YEARS AFTER ABURI ACCORD NIGERIA STILL TALKS OF RESTRUCTURING – OMIRHOBO

Human rights lawyer and social commentator, Malcolm Omirhobo, has slammed Nigeria for her inability to find acceptable political accommodation 57 years after the January 4 and 5, 1967 Nigerian military leader meeting at Aburi in Ghana.

In a post shared in his X (former Twitter), Omirhobo said it was shameful that 57 years after the Aburi Accord, Nigeria is still talking of restructuring .No thanks to Gowon who bungled it

The Aburi Accord was an agreement reached by Nigerian military leader at Aburi in Ghana on January 4 and 5 1967, which would have prevented Eastern Nigeria from seceding and the consequent civil war.

The accord aimed to resolve the Nigerian pre-civil war crisis.

Key options and agreements included

  1. Confederation: Nigeria would become a
    confederation of semi-autonomous regions
  2. Regional autonomy: Regions would have
    more control over internal affairs.
  3. Abolition of the Federal Government’s right to make laws for regions
  4. Creation of a weak central government
  5. Establishment of a constitutional conference

Omirhobo said, if Yakubu Gowon had implemented the Aburi Accord there would have been no war, no waste of resources , no loss of lives and properties, no need for the “No victor, no vanquished” proclamation and no need for the promulgation of policy of Reconciliation, Rehabilitation and
Reconstruction (the 3Rs)

    RELEASE NNAMDI KANU, I’LL STAND AS GUARANTOR – ABARIBE

    RELEASE NNAMDI KANU, I’LL STAND AS GUARANTOR – ABARIBE Abia South Senator, Enyinnaya Abaribe, has expressed his willingness to stand as a guarantor for Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB. Abaribe made the remark while addressing journalists after his visit to Governor Alex Otti of Abia State. He also urged President Bola Tinubu to listen to the Attorney General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi and other stakeholders over their calls to release Kanu. Abaribe informed Tinubu that releasing Kanu would put a stop to the issue of criminalities in the Southeast. He said: “I expect that the President will listen to both his Attorney General and every one of us who have been agitating that the issues in the Southeast; first of all the insurgency, the sit-at-home on Mondays and every other thing we have noticed in the Southeast, what we now know in the Southeast is that criminals and all other people who advocate violence have taken over and using the name Nnamdi Kanu to perpetuate all these their despicable acts. “We know that the President, being a listening President, will also look at all the issues involved which we have presented to him from various mediums and that he will do the needful and release Nnamdi Kanu so that it will put a stop to all these things that are happening in the Southeast and bring back the Southeast as the hub of production in Nigeria. “So he needs Nnamdi Kanu out so that all those things that are holding us down in the Southeast, that have made us not produce as much as we ought to produce, will not be there. “So, we continue to call on President Tinubu to release Nnamdi Kanu and we are ready and willing to be guarantors for him to be released so that we can have life coming back into the Southeast and take it away from the criminals, kidnappers, the cultists and dangerous elements that are floating around us who have made it a point that they would perpetrate violence, do criminal activities and use Nnamdi Kanu’s name as their reason.” Kanu remains incarcerated since June 2021 when he was rearrested and subjected to extraordinary rendition from Kenya to Nigeria. Upon his return to Nigeria, the Appeal Court in Abuja ordered his release but the Nigerian government refused to let him off the hook.

    HOW TINUBU REFUSED TO HONOUR AGREEMENT ON NNAMDI KANU AFTER SENDING HIS SON, SEYI, TO US BEFORE 2023 POLLS -KANU’S FAMILY

    HOW TINUBU REFUSED TO HONOUR AGREEMENT ON NNAMDI KANU AFTER SENDING HIS SON, SEYI, TO US BEFORE 2023 POLLS – KANU’S FAMILY The family of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has expressed deep disappointment with President Bola Tinubu for allegedly failing to honour an agreement purportedly made between Tinubu’s son, Seyi, and the Kanu family before the 2023 general elections. In a statement, Kanu’s younger brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, claimed that Seyi, with the approval of his father, personally met him in Abuja before the election. During the meeting, an agreement was allegedly reached that IPOB would not call for an election boycott in exchange for Kanu’s release if Tinubu became president. Prince Emmanuel expressed frustration that nearly two years into Tinubu’s presidency, Kanu remains in detention. He noted that Justice Binta Nyako, who had been presiding over Kanu’s case, recused herself months ago, yet no new judge has been assigned. He stated, “Before the last election, I received a message from a former governor that Seyi, the son of President Tinubu, wanted to meet with me. “I agreed on the condition that the priority of our discussion would be the release of my brother. The meeting took place in Abuja with another individual present as a witness. “Seyi assured me that the meeting was sanctioned by his father and that any agreement reached would be binding. In good faith, we agreed that IPOB would not interfere with the election process. “I relayed this understanding to my brother, and he reaffirmed IPOB’s commitment to not call for an election boycott or civil disobedience. “When Tinubu visited Owerri during his campaign, he publicly reaffirmed his commitment to facilitating my brother’s release if elected. “IPOB kept its part of the agreement, ensuring there was no call for election boycott, despite having the capacity to do so. “However, it defies logic that nearly two years after President Tinubu assumed office, my brother remains in detention without any formal charges. “The Appeal Court discharged him and ordered his release, a decision the Buhari administration ignored. “The Supreme Court also determined that his bail should not have been revoked, yet this has been disregarded. “Nigerian courts are unwilling to resolve his case on merit, relying instead on technicalities to stall proceedings. His detention lacks any legal basis, either in Nigeria or elsewhere in the world. “It is deeply disappointing that those who claim to be honorable cannot keep their word,” the statement concluded. ‎
