RENOWNED Islamic scholar, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has urged the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to engage the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Speaking with Daily Post yesterday, the Kaduna-based cleric said the government should be frank in negotiating with the Nnamdi Kanu led group.
According to Gumi: “Government should try to be frank and engage even with IPOB’s people. Government should call them ‘you come and sit down let’s talk, what is your problem’.
“Government should call them for a dialogue; see nobody doubts Nigeria. The problem is that the government is not being considerate even with these herdsmen.”
Recall that former presidential candidate of the Young Progressive Party (YPP), Prof. Kingsley Moghalu, had called on the Federal Government to discuss with Kanu and other secessionists in the country.
Moghalu insisted that Kanu and other secessionists in the country do not posses a threat to Nigeria’s unity.
