Femi Falana, SAN, a human rights attorney, has advised the government to sit down with IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu and negotiate with him rather than continue with his trial.<\/p>\n

This assertion was made by Falana in response to a query from the audience at the 14th instalment of the Fela Debates, which took place on Monday, October 10, at NECA House in Ikeja, Lagos.<\/p>\n

“Election 2023: Action Time” served as the theme of the interactive<\/a> session. Expert broadcaster Edmund Obilo served as the event’s moderator.<\/p>\n

The well-attended Fela Debates were one of the events planned to mark this year’s Felabration, a week-long festival held each year to honour the legacy of the legendary Afrobeat King, Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Fear Not Man is the celebration’s theme for this year.<\/p>\n

The highly regarded attorney advised the government to choose negotiation with the detained IPOB leader rather than continuing the trial.<\/p>\n

He also said the government is not competent to try him, citing the case involving the publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, whom the government arrested and charged with treasonable felony in 2019 and till now has not been concluded because the government<\/a> kept adjoining the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe trial cannot be concluded. The government cannot try him (Nnamdi Kanu). I know the government is not competent to try him. Sowore was charged with treasonable felony in 2019. After we took the first witness, the government couldn\u2019t go on. So, the government has been adjoining the case and that is the problem with politically motivated cases.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat the government should do is to sit down with all aggrieved people in the country and negotiate. If you are negotiating with terrorists, why can you not sit down with Nnamdi Kanu and others? If Nigerians want to build a country, it must be on a platform of justice and fair play. Everyone must be treated equally,\u201d he maintained.<\/p>\n

Falana went further to say Nigerians got it wrong when they thought about the developmental challenges the country is facing is premised on ethnicity.<\/p>\n

According to him, those who loot the country did not belong to a certain ethnic group as they cut across the various ethnic groups in the country and were united by a common inclination to loot.<\/p>\n

According to him, those who loot the country\u2019s treasury belonged to a certain class whose common denominator was to corruptly enrich themselves at the expense of the masses.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we are all getting it wrong. This business of Yoruba, Hausa, and Igbo. Please let\u2019s learn from Fela. Fela wasn\u2019t bothered by all these irredentist demands. Fela\u2019s own was on a class basis. When he was speaking about authority stealing, warning all of us in the 70s that a group of people have devised their language for looting.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd for those of us who were lawyers, we were like what is this guy talking about? Fela said a common man has stolen something at the bus stop, and out of confusion, the ordinary people too would shout \u2018ole ole\u2019 and put a tyre on his neck and burn him. We are still going on with that kind of mob justice in Nigeria today. But according to Fela, turn your side to the other side. Criminals will steal billions with a pen. Fela said \u2018Pen get power gun no get. And Fela was not talking of Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa. He said all these crimes in alliance with imperialism, ITT, all of them, were working hand in hand to pauperise the African people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Other speakers at this year\u2019s Fela Debates included Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, Director of Publicity and Advocacy of the Northern Elders Forum, NEF; Bishop Hassan Kukah, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto; Ms Kadaria Ahmed, journalist and media entrepreneur and Professor Kingsley Moghalu, former Deputy Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria and former presidential candidate.<\/p>\n

In his speech, Baba-Ahmed bemoaned the tendency of Nigerians to concentrate on the presidential candidates, on who among them would win the 2023 presidential election rather than focus on the survival of the country and its future.<\/p>\n

Baba-Ahmed buttressed his point by asking a young boy he called from the audience to stand with him on stage referring to the young lad as the future of the country.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThis is our future. The question we need to ask ourselves is: Are we doing justice to him and his generation? This is my grandchild. This is our grandchild. This is what we should talk about when we think about Nigeria. What will his life be like in 25 years? Will he still be a Nigerian? Will he be in a part of Nigeria that used to be Nigeria? Will he be better? Will he have a job? Will he have an education?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is not about us. And this is the lesson that we should take. So don\u2019t think the elections of 2023 are about who becomes president. And this is the point. It is about whether Nigeria survives. Not just survive, can it make a U-turn?\u201d<\/p>\n

Baba-Ahmed said as Nigeria inched towards the 2023 elections, the onus is on Nigerians to interrogate the presidential candidates.<\/p>\n

He also said Nigerians should be wary of the kind of voices that people hear and listen to, citing the Southeast as an example, where the only voices people hear were those from the streets.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho decides what happens on the streets in the Southeast? Who decides whose voices we hear,\u201d Baba-Ahmed asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cProfessor Moghalu here said we should always speak the truth. We have always spoken the truth. Who is speaking for the Southeast? Where are the voices of reason? Where are the voices of leadership that will say this is the direction that we want the east to go? They are the voices of irredentists. They are voices of crime and violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kadaria Ahmed, on her part, said Nigerians had over the years been revolving around identity politics.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m here to talk about elections. And to be honest with you, while I am hopeful about Nigeria, I keep worrying that we keep having the wrong conversations. In every forum, we go through this circle of hope and despair. We have our hopes up that this election is going to give us this messiah that is going to come and solve our problems without looking at the fundamentals of the problem that we face.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnity of purpose and identity politics are the scourge of this country as if identity politics is going to take us to Nirvana, Pre and post-independence we were Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa. And 60 years on, the politics has not changed. Because we do identity politics we have managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy do I say this? We have everything that we need to build a nation. Today we are still a country. And even that is becoming only a name. We have successfully built a place where a tiny percentage of the people make and drive policy based on how much money it would put into private pockets, not the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd let me tell you, it is deliberate. There is nothing accidental about identity politics. It is that same divide and rule that the British used effectively that is being used against us. I find it shocking that we continue to fall for it. Even among the most educated among us, the language now, the discourse, the conversation revolves around Muslim, Christian, Hausa\/Fulani. Yoruba, Igbo. Why are we so stupid? If it was going to work it would have worked. We\u2019ve been doing this for 60 years. It hasn\u2019t given us the country that we want. Is it time to start thinking differently?<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so these elections are important because they could symbolize the turning point. But what I am saying is that there are fundamentals that need to change. Otherwise, in four years we are going to be here again, looking for another messiah. They don\u2019t exist. What you have are people who should be prepared to hold the people they put into positions of authority accountable regardless of where they come from.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, in talking to people who want to become president please can we focus on asking the questions that will help us determine whether they would have the political will to allow us the things that we need to do to make this country work? She asked.<\/p>\n

Moghalu, like the earlier speakers, also gave a brilliant speech as he shared their views about identity politics. According to him, Nigerians are not as divided as they think they are.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat has happened is that we lack unifying leadership. In 2023 we should be looking for a leader that will regain or rediscover the task of unifying this country and give it a unity of purpose.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the diversity of ethnicity or religion, it is possible for Nigerians to be united. There is something that rises above all the things that divide us. That is what builds great nations. And it is called Worldview. Every successful country has a worldview, a philosophical foundation that drives it,\u201d Moghalu averred.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
