REACTION: Why You Shouldn’t Accede To The Demands To Release Kanu – By Cham Faliya Sharon

 

PEGASUS REPORTERS, LAGOS | NOVEMBER 21, 2021

Recently, top-ranking Igbo leaders under the aegis of Highly Respected Igbo Greats, led by First Republic parliamentarian and Minister of Aviation, Chief Mbazulike Amaechi, were at State House in Abuja to plead for a political settlement of the detention and trial of IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

The report available so far is that the president promised to consider the request, even as he told the delegation that the request was heavy and tantamount to encroaching on the independence of the judiciary. In response to the request, is a letter to the President from Cham Faliya Sharon, a social critic and public policy analyst expressing his reaction to the request: Buhari To Igbo Leaders: “Your Demand For Nnamdi Kanu’s Release Is Heavy. I’ll Consider It”

My Dear President Muhammadu Buhari,

In all your considerations over the silly, heinous and unpatriotic demand by those so-called Igbo leaders who shamelessly came to your office asking you to release Terrorist Nnamdi Kanu, kindly ponder on the following:

● The number of arms already imported by IPOB terrorists and their sponsors, which are already being used to cause mayhem across the country!

● The number of soldiers, policemen and other innocent Nigerians already murdered by IPOB terrorists on the express orders of Terrorist Nnamdi Kanu!

● The businesses burnt down or bombed or completely destroyed by IPOB terrorists on the orders of Terrorist Nnamdi Kanu!

● The way and manner they spread fake news, hate speeches and bigotry across Nigeria!

● They keep calling Nigeria a zoo as if we are responsible for how Abia State has become a huge refuse dump, or whether we are the ones locked up in thousands in foreign jails over very heinous international crimes, or whether we are the ones that made them fall in unconditional love with the PDP that completely ruined their region and Nigeria!

● Nigeria has nothing to gain from the release of this notorious hatemongering terrorist called Nnamdi Kanu, and neither do we also gain anything from these so-called Igbo leaders, whether materially or politically!

● Your administration did not expend precious resources, time and intelligence prowess to nab this terrorist from overseas, only to have some thoughtless Igbo leaders asking that he should be released!

● Releasing him just like that, without prosecuting and punishing him for his crimes, will turn Nigeria into a completely lawless country where criminals of all shades will commit crimes against the country, and then ask their traditional rulers and other regional or tribal leaders to beg for their release! Simply put, doing so will open a floodgate of such silly demands from other silly people for the release of their own criminals and terrorists!

● Consider also that these very same people have been lying against you that you are pampering bandits and terrorists in Northern Nigeria, whereas the North is the theatre where all the weapons your administration has procured for the military are being used against those criminals! Now, with this silly demand from them, is it not them that pamper criminals and terrorists?

● In fact, there are many other points that can be pointed out over this matter, but for now, kindly consider these few ones, and patriotically reject their demand. Just concentrate on building roads, bridges and other infrastructure for them, which they don’t even acknowledge nor appreciate.

Yours faithfully,

Cham Faliya Sharon
