Southeast Governors Meeting with Nnamdi Kanu: A Courageous Path On the Road not Taken
says Ochie Igbo.
The
action of the Southeast Governors is a mark of boldness. It marks the
beginning of a new frontier in the Southeast politics. Contrary to the
permutations of political pundits and propagandists, who continue to
send the dangerous impression that Ndigbo are irredeemably fragmented;
by this singular act, the new leadership of the Southeast governors
forum and Ohanaeze Ndigbo have shown a resolve that has never been
witnessed in recent times.
We cannot continue
to look down on Igbo hybrids (our youth), while our competitors erect
the structure of the future on the energy, vibrance and brilliance of
the youth. Nnamdi Kanu is a product of circumstance, as well as a child
of necessity. Rather than chide him and his followers, we must adopt the
principles eji mara Ndigbo. It is highly commendable that our leaders
have exhumed, dusted and applied the quintessential ethics of Igbo socio
political system, which accommodates varying degrees of opinion. This
is a proof that we do not operate in the spirit of inferiority complex.
It
is great that you have not let the accolades of your office override
your leadership skills. If Nnamdi Kanu had not being invited, it would
have sent a very negative signal to the international community, who are
already intervening in our matter. We can't be asking for fair hearing,
justice, equity and accommodation from the Nigerian government, when we
can't offer same to our very own. Neglecting Nnamdi Kanu would have
meant that we have been intimidated by his uncommon guts. It would have
given us out as devoid of intellectual content.
The
invitation of Kanu has opened the doors for intellectual engagement,
prevalence of superior logic and presents the challenge of mainstreaming
ideas in Southeast politics. It doesn't matter at whose instance the
meeting was called. It may not matter also,if the outcome wasn't as
expected. What matters most is that a channel of interaction has been
opened, it should be explored to the fullest.
The
indefatigable and invincible spirit of Nnamdi Kanu, which is borne out
of his passion for Ndigbo, have woken those sleeping and those
pretending to be asleep; to rise to the natural call for justice, which
is the foundation of the world. Though, our people are almost bleeding
with impatience, however, the initiators of this dialogue have
introduced a fundamental ingredient in crisis management.
Having
risen to this conscious state, Ndigbo must flock together, like never
before, we must fan the embers of our ancestors, pour libations to
summon the tripartite spirit of Ndigbo - The spirit of Igbamgbo, Njepu
nakwa ofo na ogu.
Arise Ndigbo, Ndigbo rise up
from thy slumber and walk like sprites to assume that place that
providence has ordained for you; for no mortal can stop you!
