JUST IN: Nigeria ‘Shuts Down’ As Nationwide Protest Begins, Over Buhari’s Ailing Health In London

The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, is set to stage a nationwide protest, over the perceived ailing health of President Muhammadu Buhari, if he refuses to speak to Nigerians from the United Kingdom, UK, or come back on the agreed date.

Recall, that Buhari’s medical vacation in the UK, ends on February 10.

The planned protest, came against the backdrop of the Presidency’s comment that Nigerians would not compel Buhari to speak, and by so doing, it would be an infringement on his fundamental human rights.

“The fact that he is a President, he still has his rights. Compelling him to come out and talk will be infringing on his rights. The President will talk, if he wishes to. If he doesn’t wish to, nobody will compel him to talk”, the President’s Aide, Femi Adesina had said However, in a swift reaction, the NLC argued that it would be proper for the President to make a public appearance, to dispel rumours in the country about his health.

The General Secretary of the NLC, Dr. Peter Ozo-Eson, insisted that the President should speak to Nigerians, since Nigerians were worried about his health. Ozo-Eson said: “In the social media, stories circulate without confirmation; I think that the easiest way is to talk publicly to the nation, because the citizens are concerned about their leader’s whereabouts. “If there are those who orchestrated  rumours and they are not true, the easiest way is for him to reach out to Nigerians through a public appearance and a statement.

“Nigerians have a right to be certain about the health situation of their President, and the people who orchestrate rumours and unsubstantiated reports, one would wish for him to call their bluff, by publicly addressing the citizens.” Elsewhere, the TUC said it would not be necessary for the President to address Nigerians, since he had not been away for long. The President of the TUC, Bala Kaigama, stated that Buhari demanded a rest, and handed over government to the Vice President. According to him, Nigerians can talk about the President’s health, if he fails to return after the 10-day period of rest he requested. 

He said: “Why do we have to make noise about this? He is coming back; if he were to go and stay for a very long time, it is a different thing. If we have patience, he will come back. We are just being unnecessarily demanding. “This is somebody who demanded a rest, and he has handed over the government to the Vice President. So our concern is how the VP is handling it; but it his health that has become the issue of the moment. “But we should allow the old man to have his rest. It is normal for somebody of that age to need rest from time to time. If he goes to rest, that does not mean that government will not work now. Let the old man enjoy his rest. “If he does not come back on the day he is supposed to come, that is when we can talk, but for now, let us allow him to have his rest. Why does he have to come and address us? It doesn’t make any sense.”

BIAFRA: DECLARE NO MORE NIGERIA ELECTION IN BIAFRALAND

A CLARION CALL FROM FAMILY WRITERS FOR YOU PEOPLE TO ORDER A STOP TO ANY FURTHER ELECTION IN BIAFRALAND

It is with total humility and respect to IPOB Directorate of State, that I, Onyebuchi Eze (Nnamdi Kanu Disciple) of Family Writers, a media wing of IPOB under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu De Great, wish to draw the attention of IPOB leadership to what is happening presently in Biafraland.

Sirs, it become necessary to draw you people's attention to the issue at hand because I have severally sent inbox messages to our principal officers like Mazi Uche Mefor, Mazi Uchenna Asiegbu, Dr Clifford Chukwuemeka Iroanya and Bar Emma Nmezu and none of you ever reply or respond to any of my inbox messages to you on countless times. At a point, I even begin to feel that may be I am too small to deserve your attention but heaven knows that I am not small in the project Biafra restoration. God forbid!

 Sirs, this open letter is said to be coming from Family Writers under the able leadership Emeka Gift because I sought his approval and He permitted me to write this open letter to you people.
Sirs, I am constrained to write this open letter due to the need urgency to draw your attention to what I described as POLITICAL BUBBLE happening at the moment in Biafraland and its negative effects on the work for Biafra restoration which we have laboured these few years to achieve.

The said political bubble in Biafraland orchestrated by paid-political agents by Nigeria govt is at the moment causing severe damages to IPOB structures and our followers who may not be able to separate between political crazy ambitions and genuine desire to restore Biafra around these political harlots disguising themselves as Biafra sympathizers.

Sirs, these paid political hungry pigs in Biafraland which includes Chekwas Okorie, John Nnia Nwodo of Ohaneze hypocritical chameleons and many others are now using sugar-coated singing of support for Biafra to mislead our people to abandon Biafra restoration to go into Nigeria politics as faster way of restoration Biafra through Nigeria politics with their MOBIN (Movement Of Biafrans In Nigeria). Many of them have even obnoxiously included self-determination in their party manifesto, not even their party constitution to attract the support of Biafrans to sell their blood-sucking candidates to the people.

Sirs, it is on the view of the fact that these political bubbles of the moment is already misleading our people and some secret boastings of some of these political holocausts that they will destroy IPOB with lures which they contain in the coming elections that I make bold to write this letter.

Sirs, I called on IPOB Directorate of state to quickly issue a press release that will say verbatim that Biafrans do not want Nigeria organized elections in Biafraland or any part thereof anymore because we want nothing but Biafra restoration. This is the only thing that can remedy the situation in the damages already meted on our struggle to restore Biafra by these political hungry pigs.
Sirs, as soon as the IPOB Directorate make the press release and declare #WeSayNo2ElectionInBiafraland, then leave the campaign to destroy the present political bubble and their structures for Family Writers, Biafra Writers and all our sister media battalions in IPOB.

Sirs, there is no need to rest on our oars to watch these political pigs masquerading as Biafra sympathizers destroy what we have built all these years with their selfish political ambitions as they were delegated by Aso Rock. If IPOB Directorate fails to do something on time, we are going to regret what the present political bubble in Biafraland will cause to Biafra restoration struggle.

Sirs, all that Family Writers and our Biafra sister media organizations and Biafra field battalions want is just a press release to declare #WeSayNo2ElectionInBiafraland and we will collectively tear their evil political empire and its structures in Biafraland into pieces. Many Biafrans have been calling on Family Writers to put record straight before our people which Family Writers have been doing in our little capacity but such warning to our people that we do not want political gatherings, jingles, symposiums and elections in Biafraland or any part thereof should come from IPOB Directorate, it will be more authentic and create tension in the heart of these hungry pigs even when Biafran youths have not done anything to anybody.

A stitch in time saves nine. Delay is always dangerous. Emee ngwa-ngwa, emeghara ọdachi! I rest my case as I look forward to your favourable response.
Yours Obediently,
Mazi Onyebuchi Eze (Nnamdi Kanu Disciple)
For  Family Writers.
