President Muhammadu Buhari has come under attack following the death of First Republic Minister, Mbazulike Amaechi.However, his death has kept tongues wagging owing to the failure of the Federal Government to honour his last wish, which was the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
He recalled Amaechi’s words saying: “I don’t want to leave this planet without peace returning to my country. I believe in one big, united Nigeria, a force in Africa. Mr President, I want you to be remembered as a person who saw Nigeria burning, and you quenched the fire.’He said the former minister’s advice on the situation in the Southeast and the way forward would be missed.
“He begged President Buhari to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to him but Buhari did not oblige him. It is cruel of the present administration. This is the last surviving minister of the First Republic, but his wish could not be granted. “What they could not do for him while he was alive, they should do now. We are expecting a posthumous honour for him, which is to free Nnamdi Kanu,” the youth leader said.
“At Abakaliki, Chief Amaechi in an uncommon oratorical skill, spoke pointedly but passionately to President Buhari on why Nnamdi Kanu should be released to him. “This is the last surviving minister of the First Republic yet the country he passionately served could not grant his wish till he died. It is quite despicable; Buhari should not deceive Ndigbo with his condolence message, he should keep it to himself,” Jonah said.
