The pastors charged the governors to be more proactive instead of playing the ostrich and the chicken.
Ministers of God of Igbo extraction have called out South-East governors over their non-challant attitude towards the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
The group slammed the governors, accusing them of playing the ostrich and the chicken.
Speaking under the aegis of Concerned Igbo Ministers Commission, the ministers of God noted the role all South-Westerners played in the release of one of their own, Sunday Igboho, stating, 鈥淲hen Igboho was detained in the Benin Republic, all Yoruba monarchs, politicians, and bishops rallied around Mr. Igboho until his release was secured.鈥�
In a press statement signed by the International President/Co-ordinator of the commission, Rev. Tony Uzor Anthony, and the General Secretary, Apostle Tony Osuji, the group, lamented, 鈥淲e openly accuse the South-East governors of playing chicken. What are they terrified of? That the moment Mazi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu comes out they will become irrelevant? How come they put their interest over and above the interest of the general public of the Igbos?鈥�
Warning that 鈥渙ur governors should also note that the protection of Mazi Kanu is part of the oath of office that they took,鈥� they appealed to the governors 鈥渢o please stand for their own as the governors of the South-West stood for Sunday Igboho.鈥�
They raved, 鈥淢azi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu is a man God has given us for the general good of our people, born and unborn. Let鈥檚 come together as a people and pursue our common goal, more so, the release of Mazi Kanu.
鈥淜anu does not hate any of you but is focused on the general good of our people. Please prove this noble body wrong by making sure that Ndi Igbo are fully represented to meet with Mr President in respect of his release.鈥�
The pastors also called on all the traditional rulers, bishops and politicians to rise up at this very special occasion for the release of Kanu.
They added, 鈥淣o individual interest of the governors in the South-East should supersede the interest of Ndi Igbo at large. It appears evidently that the South-East governors, who recently assured us of their efforts to secure the release of Kanu, have suddenly gone quiet. The question is how come nobody is clamouring for the release of our brother, the IPOB leader?鈥�
