The group warned that Nigeria is on the brink of violent collapse because all ethnic groups want the country divided.

The Eastern Nigeria Development Association, ENDA, has raised alarm over the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra.

According to ENDA, the North may have entered a secret agreement with President Bola Tinubu to keep Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in detention perpetually.

Charles Obinna Chukwunaru, the President of ENDA, claimed that the secret agreement is aimed at preventing the South-East from producing Nigeria’s President in 2023.

Chukwunaru made the claim in a statement he issued. The statement is titled, ‘NIGERIA: That There May Be Peace and Progress’.

He warned that Nigeria is on the brink of violent collapse because all ethnic groups want the country divided.

Parts of the statement read: “Today, the wobbling and fumbling multi-national Nigerian state is on the brink of violent collapse as almost all of it’s component nationalities want the country to be divided along ethnic, religious, cultural and geopolitical lines.

“Incidentally, this divisive aspiration for social, political and economic liberation, freedom or independence by a clear majority of Nigerian ethnic nationalities is embodied in the person of the illegally detained Igbo leader of the indigenous people of Biafra, Eastern Nigeria – Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, by the central government in Abuja.

“The speculation gaining fast traction daily by concerned citizens of Nigeria is that the Northern Nigeria political establishment under the immediate past head of state Alhaji (Gen.) Muhammadu Buhari may have entered into a secret agreement with Alhaji (Sen.) Ahmed Bola Tinubu to keep the young Igbo political leader in perpetual detention; thereby detaining the aspiration of the young and old people of Biafran heritage, Eastern Nigeria and the Igbo nation particularly, in exchange for the Presidency of Nigeria in May 2023.”

He warned that the level of anarchy, destruction, and death that would accompany Nigeria’s collapse would be catastrophic.

“Unfortunately, the people involved appears oblivious to the grave consequences of a violent state collapse.

“The level of anarchy, destruction, and death that will (as usual) characterize a total state collapse in a country with the population of Nigeria will be catastrophic.

“The internally displaced people and refugees crisis that will result from such scenario will be unimaginable.”

He called on local and international peace advocates to demand Kanu’s release.

Chukwunaru added: “Therefore, all advocates of peace and humanity locally and internationally, are enjoined to intervene now by requesting the immediate release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as ordered by the Nigerian courts of law, restructure the country along the lines of the only authentic 1963 republican constitution of the Federal republic whose national anthem recently got restored by the present Tinubu regime as the authentic Nigerian national anthem; or conduct a peaceful and internationally acceptable referendum to determine the unity of the Nigerian state.

“It is either the philosophy of Unity and Faith, Peace and Progress as contained in the Nigerian National Coat of Arms, as well as the National Anthem (as restored), is upheld through a return to the paths of the 1963 republican constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, or a peaceful referendum or total state collapse. “Which way Nigeria?”
