The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has called for the arrest and prosecution of the Katsina-based activist, Mallam Mahdi Shehu, over his appeal to Christian northerners not to vote for Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi. Ohanaeze said his prosecution and eventual imprisonment would serve as a deterrent to other ‘ethnic bigots’, adding that 'if such a deep ethnic jingoism is allowed to play out in the oncoming campaigns, then the fledgling wing of the eagle may be irredeemably broken'.

Mahdi Shehu is an irresponsible and irrelevant person, as long as the northern elders has condemned his actions and cautioned him, he should be further cautioned in writing by Ohaneze and copy Police and northern elders.

You wan arrest Mad man lol, na you no even get sense sha 😂🤣😅

ohanezindigbo words are like throwing stones up and stand under it. It will come back and hit you even harder. MBuhari Is Jibrin of Sudan Nigeria is a zoo, now a zoo is a country where one can even identify an inciting statement 😄 because Obi is contesting

Nigeria is full of BS you don't like a particular tribe and the tribe agitated for sovereignty you still find fault in their agitation Nigeria government need to grant the agitation of the so long marginalized tribe to save everyone of the headache about hatred.

THIS IS A VERY GOOD DEVELOPMENT FROM OHANAEZE'S GROUP, MAY GOD LOUDING THEIR VOICES.

Only Oduduwa Republic and Biafra Republic will save us all.

Stop calling for his arrest, Nigeria security architecture lack the courage to do that, his statement is only an offence if it was made by a Christian in the south as any act of offence committed by a northerner with the ingredient of religion is justified. That is Nigeria 4u.

And then what happen to the ipob who have raining insults on the yorubaFulani/Hausa race

Same ohaneze that promised to unleash snares,hell fire and brimstine on the Nation if APC and PDP didn't feature Igbos as their flag bearers.Where is freedom of speech? Your so called freedom of speech and expression is only applicable in some cases.Stinking hypocritical mindset

Obidient all the way

May God bless Mahdi for calling a spade a spade....let the Ohanaze send their IPOB terrorist$ to arrest him....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Those who should arrest him have done worse . Nigeria is the head quarters of injustice

This Sahara reporters self 🤦

This tribal bigotry is exceedingly overwhelming. What did Igbos do to them? Why would you use election to create division, propel rage and inciting Nigerian among Nigerian? You want this guy's to be part of you, buh you continue to create opportunities to make them victims. Bad

Nigeria is not working,In as much as nothing will happen to him bcos he is a northerner, that man sopos to be in DSS hands now for inciting religion and tribal war in Nigeria..with dis mindset Nigeria can never coexist as one

_weyimi With immediate effect o

Jack_ng01 facts

That does not warrant an arrest however such a leader should never be trusted by Nigerians anymore

Very crucial

Call referendum, are you people not tired of arresting

You are calling who to arrest him? So you think that NORTHERNERS are like you betrayers just go and sit down you have bring yourselves tooo low for cattle rearers as foreigners they are to listen to you go and find your square root. You think that they are like you saboteurs.

WITH THE NAME NIGERIA ALL THESE WILL CONTINUE, LET'S END THIS BRITISH REPUBLIC

Na now una wake up. Mscheeew 😠

What did they say to Obizombies cursing everyone not supporting their candidates or Ethnic Bigot Obi himself ? Tue, yeyenatu.

Who is Ohanaeze? I never heard of that before

Bark, bark, bark.... No bites.

Can u guys pls stop calling this things an activist... Dey are not freedom fighters, dey are fake

Peter Obi did this to a northerner what has done to assist Igbo investors...... PO is detribalised. Is not their fault to talk to Igbos anyhow is Igbo selfish money mongers that gave them the licences to talk to Igbos anyhow.

If that is true Nigeria police and DSS will need to go after and arrest most of Peter Obi supporters for inciting comments, threats and abuse against fellow Nigerian who are not supporting Peter Obi.

MmaduChuk001 Let it be known that Atiku and his associates are preaching hate and bigotry up North against Peter Obi while promising restructuring in the South. Nigerians be wise. Atiku doesn't mean well for Nigerians.

He will never be arrested because he is speaking on behalf of those that are to arrest him. That is how bad Nigeria has been.

Seriously he needs to be arrested

Supported

He spoke from his profile. This type of person outh to be properly examined psychologically

It will never never never never never happen

Fulani government is Bias. A democrat in the north and a full blown dictator in the south more especially South east. DSS won't summon him, but will be quick to summon Mbaka ,others from South.

This group of people don’t have any credibility and don’t offer anything to my tribe.

Mahdi’s Statement Provocative, Capable Of Causing Ethno-Religious tension In Nigeria – Northern Elders | Sahara ReportersThe Coalition of Northern Elders For Peace and National Unity, CNEFPNU, on Wednesday accused Shehu Mahdi, a businessman and activist of hate speech. The group said Mahdi’s recent comments were laced with a lot of tribal and religious slurs aimed at pitching Christians against Muslims. The group described the viral video of Mahdi urging Northern Christians not to vote for Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party, as provocative and capable of instigating ethnoreligious tension in the country. Well... He need not to tell us that Biafra war hasn't ended. Nnamdi Kanu was right! They answers to everything is to share this country Sometimes bad news spread by these folks are good for PO campaign cos it gives us more publicity - thanks to Northern elders for saying the truth about PO, all their agenda must be crushed cos PO represents the common man/poor in Nigeria not elites/sycophants!!
