Prof Ben
Nwabueze met with Igbo leaders of thought in Enugu – The renowned lawyer said
the country was about to be Islamised by the current administration Prof Ben
Nwabueze has lamented that the plan to Islamise Nigeria is real as evident from
dominance of Muslims in the leadership position of the country’s security
outfits. Vanguard reports that Nwabueze raised this concern after a meeting of
Igbo Leader of thought in Enugu.
The
constitutional lawyer who was close to tears claimed that in spite of the
provision of the constitution, Buhari had a grand plan to Islamise the country
which was the reason for the meeting. He said: “This is a very crucial meeting
for us because we have not met for more than a year. “And if you look at our
agenda, such critical issues for discussion, issues like Islamisation agenda
and its impact on the unity of the country.
“Islamisation
agenda is real, it’s not something that somebody has just conjured up, it’s
there. And it’s been implemented gradually. Look at the security agencies;
every aspect of security islamists are in control in its entirety. They are
methodically, the way they are going about its implementation. Look at Fulani
herdsmen menace, it is part of it.” He also spoke about the agitation for
Biafra and claimed this was fuelled by the government’s neglect of the region.
“The agitation for Biafra, you will appreciate what is going on, to box the
Igbo, to box them so that they will say, ah we are pulling out. “And then, they
will launch the final solution to the Igbo problem. Our people must not play
into their hands. All these agitations, I support the agitation, but define
your objective. “What do you want? Self-determination, okay; that is the best
thing, use it as a cover, don’t come out openly and say you are agitating
because you want the sovereign state of Biafra. Sovereign state of Biafra
within sovereign Nigeria? You have to be extremely tactful. “On the
Islamisation thing, we have listed a number of positions which will be embodied
in the communiqué that will come out eventually. The Fulani herdsmen, our
governors should meet and say we don’t want this anymore, let them go
somewhere, let them open ahhhh… whatever they call it (ranches). But not here,
yes these are the things we want.”
