Don’t Come To Nigeria If You Love Yourself, Presidential Aide Tells Nnamdi Kanu

Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has been advised in his best interests to stay away from Nigeria except he is ready to continue his trial for treason charges.

The IPOB leader, who fled the country and has been in exile since September 2017, is seeking a return to the country for the funeral of his late mother.

Speaking with DAILY INDEPENDENT ON Friday, a senior presidential aide said Kanu will be deceiving himself if he thinks he can just “stroll into the country and go out after the funeral”.

“When a prisoner loses his mother and seeks permission to go and bury her, won’t the prisoner return to the prison after the conclusion of the burial?

“How then can a man who is standing trial and fled the country now want to return for the burial of the mother and say he will go back after the funeral? Is that logical? If he likes himself, let him come to Nigeria,” he said.

A former governor of Anambra State, Chukwuemeka Ezeife, had on Friday appealed to the Federal Government to allow Kanu to travel to Nigeria for his late mother’s funeral.

Speaking in a chat with DAILY INDEPENDENT, Ezeife said the government should also make a promise not to harass or arrest Kanu throughout his stay in the country until he leaves.

Ezeife, who said the death of a mother is very painful, said he is happy that a lot of people have been calling on the government to allow Kanu to come home.

“I am very happy to hear a lot of people supporting Kanu on this. This is the death of a mother, a very painful death. The federal government should allow him to come and make a promise that they will not harass him if he comes until he leaves,” he said.

  4. This is temptation,it can leads to confusion

  5. I 100% agree that Nnamdi Kanu should be allowed to come into the country and bury his late mother untouched ! First of all, I am not a Biafran . However , this is a democratic nation thus the government . The government should let all bitterness go, and display in all ramifications – freedom of all human rights ! A nation that owns such a man as Nnamdi Kanu should be thinking of tapping his supernatural knowledge and foresight in order to remedy the wrong doings ,and put into something that will be beneficial to the society rather than these public display of power and threats on him . Please, call Nnamdi Kanu for a ‘heart to heart ‘discussion in order to move this beloved but tainted nation forward positively. If there is PEACE , every other good things,ideas ,equality,and good plans to make this nation great again shall be discovered !!!!!

  6. so he wanted to come and bury a bad old woman of biafran terrorist organization

    He is not coming for Nigeria, he’s coming in Biafra land

  10. Nigerian government is not looking for NNAMDI KAMI since they know where he is and his house in ISRAEL. The matter is that the two parties are ashamed of continuing the case on IPOB. MANU should bury her mother and shun to come for now. You know that 4 years of any democratic regime or 8 years in not eternity. Give the few years and return back here if you like.
