various ethnic nationalities in this country will eventually exercise their right of self-determination and our nation will eventually break.”
Recommending the way forward, Fani-Kayode said, “We must recognise our differences, acknowledge our fears, concerns and anxieties, soothe frayed nerves, bridge the gap, make the necessary concessions and heal the wounds.”
Failing to do this, he added, Nigeria “must prepare for the very worse in the not too distant future.”
Decrying Buhari’s reference to the late pardoned Biafran rebel leader, Chief Odimegwu Ojukwu, Fani-Kayode said, “If this great man were still alive today to witness what his Igbo people have been subjected to over the last two years under the Buhari administration, he would have been the first to insist on Biafra all over again.”
He condemned Buhari’s “failure” to order the arrest of those who had given Igbo residents in the North a quit notice, saying, “This strange omission and instructive refusal by Mr. President is unacceptable and it feeds into the narrative that there may well be some kind of frightful hidden agenda unfolding.”
