Eastern Consultative Assembly, has warned that Nigeria will never recover from the consequences that would arise should the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu is rearrested.
The body stressed that it would be a miracle for Nigeria to survive should the IPOB leader, who commands millions of follower is rearrested.
In a statement by its secretary, Evang. Elliot Ugochukwu-Uko, the assembly described the first time Kanu was arrested as a mistake which Federal Government must avoid.
The statement reads partly, “For close to two years the world has been regaled by series of childish mistakes by the Nigeria Government, as regards to the manner the FG has handled agitation for self determination.
“The decision to re-arrest the most popular Easterner alive today in the believe that nothing will happen, is a very costly mistake, there will be consequences, from which Nigeria might never recover.
“Arresting him in October, 2015 was a big mistake. Denying him bail was another mistake. Executing his followers in cold blood in Aba, Onitsha, Asaba and Nkpor, a much bigger mistake.
“And now re-arresting a man who commands the fanatical following of millions of angry young men will definitely spur grave surprises for us all, head or tail, Nigeria will never be the same after Kanu’s re-arrest.
“This press statement is not addressed to the hard-hearing FG and its sectional defense and security network, whose minds are already made up, but just for the records and attention of the international community.”
The assembly further warned that rearresting Kanu while Area youths and Fulani herdsmen work freely will “spell doom for Nigeria.”
“Any attempt to re-arrest Kanu, especially without arresting the quit notice givers, genocidal song writers and herdsmen-murderers will spell doom for Nigeria.
” May the world never say nobody told them. Those plotting the re-arrest of Kanu do not know how deeply divided Nigeria is at the moment. It will be a miracle if Nigeria survives this re-arrest agenda.”
