Fulani Radio: Set up radio for Boko Haram, IPOB, Shi’ites – Ohaneze chief

Criticisms continue to trail the Federal Government’s proposed radio station to cater exclusively for Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria.

The latest is coming from the spokesman of Ohaneze Ndi-Igbo Worldwide, Mr. Chuks Ibegbu, who rather sarcastically called on the Federal Government to also establish radio stations for other terrorist and criminal groups in the country.

Ibegbu, according to a report published in vanguardngr.com asked the government to “open a radio station for pro-Biafran movements, Boko Haram, Shi’ites and other agitating groups and even for criminals that make life brutish for Nigerians.”

The Ohaneze spokesman asked the Federal Government to “tell Nigerians the truth about the proposed Fulani radio station” and wondered why other existing Nigerian radio stations cannot meet the same objectives.

He warned Nigerian officials to stop doing things that would raise suspicion or further divide the nation, noting that a radio station has nothing to do with the killings and kidnappings by herdsmen.

Relatedly, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has expressed concern with the recent presidential order banning ownership of guns in the country.

Chief Emeka Attamah, spokesman to the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo, who made this known in a statement in Enugu, yesterday, said it was a sign that ominous cloud was gathering in the country.

Reacting to the Executive Order by President Muhammadu Buhari not only banning issuance of gun licences, but withdrawing already issued ones, Ohanaeze said: “This is ominous. The storm is gathering and will soon bare its fangs.

“The uninitiated continue to wallow in self-deceit until the vultures scavenge for the carcasses. The signs are clear. Why wait for doomsday?”
