CNPP, Ndigbos warn FG over summon on Ojukwu By Habeeb I. Pindiga The Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP), the Igbo National Assembly and the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), yesterday raised alarm over the invitation by the State Security Services (SSS), to former Biafran warlord, Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, warning that the security operatives will be held responsible should the politician run into any danger. Men of the SSS reportedly stormed Ojukwu’s Enugu residence last Wednesday, extending a formal invitation to him to appear at the SSS headquarters in Abuja today. Although no reasons were given for the invitation, the APGA presidential candidate was reported to have agreed to honour the invitation. In three separate statements made available to Daily Trust in Abuja yesterday, CNPP, APGA and the Ndigbo group faulted the invitation, which was coming against the backdrop of heightening agitations by the Movement For The Actualisation Of The Sovereign State Of Biafra (MASSOB). CNPP, through its secretary general, Barrister Maxi Okwu, said the SSS invitation to Ojukwu “once again raises the spectre of an unjust polity where different strokes/rules are applied to different folks/ethnic groups. “The reason for the invitation extended to Dim was not stated, but we dare presume that it is a fall out from recent utterances by him in the media, in which he rationalised the agitation of the Ralph Uwazurike-led movement For The Actualisation Of The Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB).” CNPP expressed dismay that while the dreaded Odua Peoples Congress (OPC) was allowed to dine at federal government’s tables despite being, out lawed, MASSOB with no history of violence, was being haunted by agents of the same government. “It was professor Wole Soyinka who drew national attention recently to the ‘systematic secession of some states from Nigeria,’ yet the SSS and federal government choose to turn a “blind eye to this conduct of some states in the north, contrary to the granite provisions in section 5, subsection 3 of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999,” the group added.
