Apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, has expressed outrage over the attack on the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, by the ex-militant leader Mujahid Dokubo-Asari.
The Igbo group urged President Bola Tinubu to ignore Dokubo and instead invite Kanu to a round table discussion.
Dokubo, speaking to newsmen after a meeting with President Tinubu, referred to the IPOB leader as a criminal and urged Tinubu not to release him.
His statement has continued to draw the anger of Ndigbo, with many accusing him of reaching beyond his bounds.
The President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Okwu Nnabuike, in a statement in Abuja yesterday, accused Dokubo-Asari of being sponsored by those who want to destabilise President Tinubu’s government.
According to him, it was unthinkable that at a time many patriotic citizens of the country were thinking of ways to unite the country, the ex-militant who postures as a ‘son of the President’ was busy throwing up ideas that would further polarise the country.
The Igbo group urged President Tinubu to ignore Dokubo and his ilks “who are not in any way interested in the positive future of the country but their selfish gains.
Ohanaeze, however, warned Dokubo “to desist from any further attempt to use Nnamdi Kanu’s ordeal to promote his interests”.
