The Coalition of Northern Group (CNG) has come under fire from the Coalition of South East Youth Leaders (COSEYL) for its position on the renewed demand for Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to be released.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, the CNG spokesperson, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, urged the Federal Government to ignore the demand for Kanu’s release on Saturday, calling it unpatriotic.
The group asked the FG to bring Nnamdi Kanu’s case to a successful end, arguing that doing otherwise would create a precedent whereby regional leaders interfere with the administration of justice.
Northern Group Blasts Igbos Over Renewed Calls For Unconditional Release Of Nnamdi Kanu
In response, COSEYL attacked the Northern group in a statement released on Wednesday by its President-General, Goodluck Ibem, claiming that if they were patriotic enough, they would have denounced the ongoing massacres taking place in many areas of the country.
“The federal government is duty bound by law to obey the Federal Court of Appeal Judgement releasing Kanu from DSS custody before appealing the matter at the Supreme Court. Anything short of that is an illegality.
“The same CNG claiming to be patriotic have never for once condemned the heinous killings by murderous Fulani terrorists and Jihadists parading as herdsmen.
“The failure to obey court judgement releasing Nnamdi Kanu will cause mishaps and unnecessary devastation and drive the country over the brink into a catastrophe as strict obedience to court judgements remains the centripetal force holding the sovereignty of any nation,” the statement read.
