The Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Prosecution, Chief Okoi Obono-Obla has said the call by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu and others for referendum was a wasted effort, and without sense.
Speaking with The Sun, the Presidential aide noted that restructuring would not solve the myriad of problems confronting the nation.
He said, “The demand for a referendum with regards to Biafra is a constitutional impossibility.
“It is a legal and political impossibility. There is no provision in the constitution of the country or any other law that provides for a part of the country to break away.
“It is a nonsensical demand. Biafra ended on the January 15, 1970. I think the agitators are just expressing their rights to freedom of expression.
Noting that agitators are just expressing their freedom of speech, the presidential aide said they are just wasting their time on the call for referendum.
He said, “The international law does not take precedence over the Nigerian constitution. If you want to ratify any treaty or international convention, the National Assembly has to approve it.
“You cannot begin to use the international law to deal with municipal, local and national issues.
“Let them stop wasting their time. There is nothing like that. The agitators are just wasting their time and that is why I am saying that they are just expressing their right to the freedom of expression.”

DeleteThey want oil. If they restruxture they lose power to control oil.
DeleteCrude oil oh.
DeleteIn truth, not all Nigerians want any part of the country to break away. But we all know that we cannot continue this way. It is not practical and it is stiffling the people and the younger generation. Those in leadership must understand that there is need for restructuring via a referendum. We do not need to break up. We can operate regionalism, weaken the center n let all the states operate under their regions. You cannot stifle this cry, its too loud. The government has to do something soon. Buhari needs to get out of the way for this to happen else he will use the army to kill people. Nigeria be prepared o.
ReplyDeleteRubbish. By what laws was Nigeria's Bakassi conceded to Cameroon by Obj and his hoodlums? NMTA
ReplyDeleteDear Nnamdi Kanu, you are now a shining light, perhaps, you have not realised it yet, everything you would say and the decisions you make should be salted with carefulness, deep thought and wisdom. Best of Luck sir!
