The IPOB leader, who is being tried for
treasonable felony , has been in
detention since October 14, 2015.
The Deputy National Publicity Secretary
of Ohanaeze , Chuks Ibegbu , who
disclosed the planned meeting in an
interview with our correspondent, said
the association intends to find a
‘common ground ’ with Kanu on the
agitation .

He said , “ Ohanaeze will definitely
discuss with him (Kanu ). Ohanaeze has
been making efforts to parley with all
the pro – Biafra groups and find a point
of agreement with them on these issues .

“ Even before now, Ohanaeze wanted to
send a delegation to see him in Kuje
Prison. We planned it before he was
granted bail. We will engage him and
some of his associates so that we can
find a common ground . He is our son ,
we understand him and he will
understand us. If there are areas of
divergence , we will find ways to
address it so that we can work
together.

“ At the planned meeting, Ohanaeze
intends to make Kanu understand and
appreciate its position , which is the
restructuring of the country , rather
than secession . Ohanaeze ’s position is
restructuring and his (Kanu ’ s ) position
is secession. We will not tell him to
drop his desire for self – determination
but we will make him understand that
Ohanaeze ’s position is the position of
the Igbo people.
“ He has the right to seek self –
determination, but we will make him
appreciate Ohanaeze ’ s position, which
is restructuring and social justice .

Ohanaeze ’s position is the position of
the totality of the Igbo people. We will
also make him understand that there is
no need to insult anybody in the
agitation , and no need for violence – of
course he has never been violent . ”
“ Restructuring is the only solution to
the problems in this country . With
restructuring, even the issue of
corruption would be addressed .

What corruption ? When the system
is suffocating people, when the system
is not properly coordinated, people will
be stealing here and there. You cannot
stop corruption by force. Even the issue
of lopsided appointments is corruption .
We have to address the fundamental
issues .”
