Danfulani to El-Rufai: Prove your impartiality by arresting, prosecuting Ango Abdullahi, others
Dr John Danfulani, Chairman, Centrum Initiative For Development And Fundamental Rights Advocacy, CEDRA, has enjoined governor Nasiru Ahmed El-Rufai to prove his impartiality by arresting and prosecuting the Northern Youth groups and Professor Ango Abdullahi by giving ultimatum directing Igbos in Northern Nigeria to relocate to their states of origin.
In a letter he addressed to governor El-Rufai and made available to newsmen in Kaduna Saturday, Dr. Danfulani, the former lecturer of Kaduna State University said, “On 6th June 2017, a Coalition of Northern Nigeria Youth Groups met in Arewa House Kaduna and reeled an illegal, morally bankrupt and politically suicidal ultimatum directing Ndigbos living in Northern Nigeria to relocate to their states of origin. They promised dire consequences for any Ndigbo that ignore their deadly directive.
“On Wednesday the 7th of June 2017 you repudiated and nullified their 6th June 2017 ultimatum and directed security agencies to trail, nap and prosecute them for using Kaduna State as an assembly plan and launching pad of their felonious project. Your position was fully supported by other northern governors.
“A day after your rebuttal, arrest, and prosecute directive, the miscreants and apostles of doom resurfaced and reinforced their 6th June 2017 position. And unabashedly lambasted you and your other colleagues that distanced themselves and their people from their doomsday ultimatum.
“As all men and women of pure conscience, goodwill, and peace were condemning the infamous quit notice to Ndigbos, on Friday 9th June 2017,Prof Ango Abdullahi,a Village Head in Zazzau Emirate of Kaduna State- a veteran nepotist, a first class irredentist, a regional warlord, and a confused ethnic-supremacist, used the platform of Northern Elders Forum(NEF) and supported the evangelists of destruction of peace and unity of Nigeria.
“After Prof Ango Abdullahi’s unwarranted gibberish, the Secretary General of NEF, Dr. Paul Unongo distilled the air by asserting in unambiguous terms that the gerontocratic regional champion and ethnic-supremacist has no mandate to speak for their group. From Dr. Unongo’s statement, there is no second guessing that the District Head didn’t speak on behalf of the conclave of self anointed northern Nigeria elders.
“Dr. Unongo’s declaration suggests that Prof Abdullahi is an imposter that illegally used the platform of esteemed club of NEF to support a felonious and morally bankrupt ultimatum. Therefore, Prof Abdullahi is their comrade-in-crime, his name must be included in the list of those to face arrest and prosecution. And the old Prof should be in the net with immediate alacrity.
“After reading your resolved of 7th June 2017 we wrote a commendation letter to you and encouraged you to walk your talk to deter others nursing the ambition of hatching events that will trigger another civil war in Nigeria. Since then, we have glued our eyes to news bars and pay attention to electronic media without hearing the news of any arrest, let alone prosecution of these jackals of disunity.
