The Northern Elders\u2019 Forum, has described as irresponsible call by the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, for the arrest of its Director of Publicity and Advocacy, Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed.<\/p>\n

Recall that Baba-Ahmed had, in a circulated broadcast video, said: \u201cWe said if secession is what every Igbo wants, and this is what the Igbos want, the nation should not fight a war over it\u201d.<\/p>\n

But the Ohanaeze spokesman, Alex Ogbonnia, had, Wednesday, said the statement was seditious, incendiary and uncouth.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

In a statement yesterday, the convener of NEF, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, said Ogbonnia\u2019s comments \u201care, to say the least, dangerous and irresponsible, designed to achieve only one goal: to put the life of Dr Baba-Ahmed in peril.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Northern Elders Forum states categorically said that all comments and statements made by Dr Baba-Ahmed are authorized, and they represent its positions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe press statement which he read on the 8th of June, 2021 at the Forum\u2019s headquarters in Abuja in presence of the full Forum was the statement of the Forum by which it still stands.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re aware of attempts to create the impression that this statement is recent as well as other attempts to misrepresent its contents to create scapegoats for the failure to limit the damage of irredentism.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn spite of many efforts to inform the public appropriately, it appears that Ohaneze Ndigbo has fallen prey to more mischief, or is itself actively involved in incitement against a citizen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Forum stands by its Director of Publicity and Advocacy, a Nigerian whose pedigree and service to our nation has few parallels.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt sees the claim that Dr Baba-Ahmed is a security risk, and the demand that he should be arrested as pathetic and beneath even the ordinary standards of Ohaneze Ndigbo.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe serve notice that we know who to hold responsible in the event of any harm to Dr Baba-Ahmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Forum advises Ohaneze Ndigbo to focus its attention on contributing to securing people of the South East from multiple threats, and ensuring that Ndigbo has a befitting relevance in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Forum affirms its full confidence in Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, who will continue to serve the country and the North as we search for a future that accommodates all interests in Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
