Senate President Ahmad Lawan
The Coalition of Northern Groups, CNG, on Thursday,
called on the National Assembly to suspend the review of
the 1999 Constitution, describing it as ill-timed and
uncalled for, particularly in the face of the growing
agitation for Nigeria’s break-up.
It also urged the National Assembly to invoke the doctrine
of necessity to organize a Biafra referendum as the final
step towards the separation of the Igbo from the rest of
Nigeria.
This was part of the presentation which CNG made before
the leadership of the National Assembly against the
backdrop of the disturbances created by certain interest
groups in the South-East, in the form of the agitation for a
separate State of Biafra.
Briefing journalists in Abuja after the presentation, CNG
Spokesman, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, noted that the Biafra
agitation in the Southeast had turned violent, alleging that
the aim of the unrest in the region was to instigate
reprisals by northerners against people from other parts of
the country.
He said, “We demanded the immediate suspension of the
ongoing exercise for the review of the 1999 Constitution
and to concentrate on the first priority of determining who
and what actually constitutes Nigeria as a nation in the
present circumstance in which the Igbo, by taking up arms
against the Nigerian state for the third time, have
foreclosed every hope for the rest of us to continue
coexisting with them as one nation.
“In order to achieve the final separation of the Igbo from
the rest of Nigeria, we also demanded the NASS to
organize a referendum by seeking the cover of the same
Doctrine of Necessity invoked by Nigeria’s federal
Parliament that paved way for former President Goodluck
Jonathan’s takeover by declaring the late President Umaru
Musa Yaradua unfit.
“We further demanded NASS to prevail on the federal
government of Nigeria to invite the United Nations as well
as the African Union and ECOWAS, to initiate the process
of self-determination to mandate the Biafrans out of the
Nigerian union by leveraging on the several relevant
international treaties and conventions to which Nigeria is
a signatory.
“Today, everyone can see that the diabolical scheme
planned and exhibited in the actions and clamours of
IPOB, supported morally and politically by the vast
majority of the pliant and affrighted Igbo elites, politicians,
traditional rulers, business persons, and the larger
population of this ethnic group has pushed Nigeria to the
precipice.
“We are convinced that this renewed violent determination
of the Igbo to see through the secession of the South-
East from Nigeria is now real and cannot be avoided or
deferred any longer without terrible consequences.
“In order to avoid such mishaps and unnecessary
devastation on all sides, particularly the South-East whose
leaders and agitators are now bent on driving it over the
brink into a catastrophe, CNG is of the view that resort to
available means of actualising the separation of the
South-East from the rest of Nigeria is today a vital task
that must be undertaken by all.”
Suleiman also argued that in order to prevent a descent
into another civil war, and to forestall mass killings and
untold sufferings, CNG has committed to the call for a
referendum that will finally separate the South East from
Nigeria.
He added, “In this connection, we are hoping the NASS
will come up with a framework to be agreed upon in the
course of the referendum and its final implementation in
the South-East or any enclave that wishes to secede from
Nigeria.
All identified indigenes (Igbos) of the enclave or entity
that called for secession (South East) must leave the
territory of Nigeria and assemble in their designated
enclave for the purpose of the exercise.
“The outcome of the referendum shall be final, irreversible
and shall not be reviewed or reconsidered for any other
reasons. Citizens of the breakaway enclave shall be
deprived of any automatic rights to return to the territory
of the rump Nigeria, or to be admitted to live in any of its
parts.
“We are aware that all this while, the North continued to
bear the brunt of the violent agitations for secession with
equanimity, stoical calm and resignation.
“Therefore, as the CNG recommits to the pursuit of a final
constitutional separation with Biafra, we urge the North to
remain the bulwark of respect, integrity, dignity, decorum,
tradition, decency, morality, civilization, etiquette, good
behaviour, politeness, accommodation, and all other
positive traits with the assurance that the good will
ultimately prevail over evil.” (Vanguard)
