NDIGBO COMMUNITY DISOWN IPOB AND NNAMDI KANU

By
IgboThe Igbo Community Association in Kano State has condemned the activities of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

The community made its position known in a press conference held in Kano by its President-General, Ebenezer Chima.

He said: "We want to state categorically here that we, the Igbo residing and doing business in Kano, dissociate ourselves from the activities of IPOB and its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

"We are strongly advocating peace and unity in the land."

Chima called on all Igbos resident in the state to remain calm, promising nothing would happen to them.

"The state government under the leadership of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje and security agents have given the assurance of adequate security of our lives and property.

"However, we join the South-East governors, the leadership of Ohaneze Ndigbo and other notable Igbo leaders, to ask the Federal Government to address the issues of equality and even distribution of our common wealth.

"This, we believe, will bring an end to the agitations in the country," the president said.

Prof. Itse Sagay The Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Anti-corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay has strongly criticized the insistent refusal of the National Assembly to approve Ibrahim Magu as the Chairman of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. Sagay, in an interview with Channels TV early this morning, said the Senate was only discharging its duties with self-love and tyranny at the expense of the country. He noted the case of rejecting appointment of Magu as the EFCC Boss is a peculiar case. "The Senate is the bad party in this country. The Executice can proceed with the confirmation of Ibrahim Magu as the Chairman of the EFCC as stipulated by the law. if the Senate is not careful, Magu will remain the EFCC boss without the consent of the legislature. The Acting President is right for saying that", the Professor of Law stated.

He said the payment would cover those on contract and study leave, as well as those employed in 2015.

And for peace to reign, we will pay all including those on sabbatical, contract and study leave. "We owe you this and we shall pay you," he said.
