IPOB attacks: Clear your names or be considered responsible, S/East elites urged
Elders in the Southeast have been urged to publicly denounce the ongoing attacks by the suspected members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in the South-eastern part of the country or else be considered among people responsible for the dastardly act.
Former Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Assembly matters, Alhaji Abdurrahman Sulaiman Kawu Sumaila, who made call yesterday, said until the Southern elites make their potion definite, Nigerians would consider them part and parcel of the attacks being carried out in the southeast by some armed militia.
Sumaila, in a statement he issued in Kano, added that Southern elites should be mindful of their reputations by not only condemning the attacks, but also distancing themselves from it, affirming that “it is only when they did this with sincerity that Nigerians will believe their innocence.

“The elites in the southeast should borrow a leaf from their northern counterpart such as Arewa Consultative Forum and Northern Elders Forum, who have been persistently condemning the activities of Boko Haram fighters and bandits in the North. You must clear your names or else , Nigerians will consider you culprits of all the killings and destructions in some Southern states.
“Had it been, the northern elites support the activities of the banditry, Boko Haram and other similar crimes in the north, the story would have been different by now. But they keep on condemning it and calling on the authorises concern to take appropriate measures against the culprits for the peace to reign in the region.”
“Not only the ACF and Northern Elders Forum, if some political and cultural groups in the North can criticise president Buhari on certain national issues, why the southeast elites cannot condemn the attacks in public at least to show their innocence?
“With these atrocities being committed by southeast people on records, how can Nigerians entrust them to government them? I am sure not a single right thinking Nigerian will endanger his life to support the candidature of any southeast politician contesting for presidency come 2023 general elections.”
He noted that it has now become clear that the motives behind the attacks was to turn the country into anarchy, regretting that “the perpetrators of the attacks must understand that if the country is turned chaotic, then nobody including the perpetrators can escape. We have no country other than Nigeria, therefore, we must do everything possible to make it peaceful.
The former political aide, however, supported president Buhari recent position on the attacks in the south, saying the president should do everything possible within the ambit of the law to stop killings and destructions not only in the south, but in the whole country.
Sumaila, who condemned killings and destruction of security formations in the south, stated that, it was only when there is peace that Nigeria will prosper. He said peaceful coexistence was the bedrock of every development and progress of a society.
He, therefore, appealed to northern people to continue to exercise patience about the happenings in the south, noting that “The government and Northern elites are aware of the losses you have been counting courtesy of the attacks in the south. Be patient, no condition is permanent. Normalcy will soon be restored to all the crisis prone areas in the country.

Prominent Kano Politician Ibrahim Little Sues Danagundi, Ibn Sina Over Hisbah Establishment
A chieftain and leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kano State, Alhaji Ibrahim Ali Amin “Little,” has filed a legal action at the Kano State High Court challenging the establishment of an Independent Hisbah body in the state.
It will be recalled that Little had earlier written to the concerned parties, urging them to suspend the move in the interest of peace and stability in the state. A copy of the letter, addressed to former Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, was also sent to the Governor of Kano State, Abba Kabir Yusuf; Baffa Babba Danagundi; Haruna Ibn Sina; and the Department of State Services (DSS).
According to his Executive Assistant and Media Aide, Adnan Mukhtar, Little decided to seek legal redress following what he described as the respondents’ persistence and insistence on proceeding with the establishment of the Independent Hisbah.
“Dissatisfied with their recent actions and continued insistence on moving forward with the establishment process, Little approached the Kano State High Court to seek redress,” Mukhtar said.
Those listed as respondents in the suit include the Speaker of the Kano State House of Assembly, the Kano State House of Assembly, the Attorney General of Kano State, the Kano State Hisbah Board, Baffa Babba Danagundi, and Haruna Ibn Sina.
In an official statement posted on his Facebook page, Little said:
“I have today instructed my lawyers to file an action challenging the establishment of an Independent Hisbah in Kano State. This follows my recent letter to the parties concerned and their insistence on proceeding with the establishment of the Independent Hisbah.
“I believe this move is an attempt to disrupt our peaceful coexistence at a time when the state is facing security challenges.
“The peace of Kano State remains our utmost priority.
Kano Sabuwa, In sha Allahu.”
