Top comedian and social commentator, Francis Agoda famously known as I Go Dye has spoken out on the arrest of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Mazi Namdi Kanu and his possible prosecution, saying arresting the separatist leader is not the answer as there are many young men already nurturing the idea of replacing him.
He said in a chat with Vanguard, “We can’t stop breeding new monsters. There are already many young men nurturing the mindset of replacing Nnamdi Kanu , good governance is the only solution.”
He continues “If the youths are gainfully employed,with three square meals, good healthcare for our aged parents, good roads and sustainable living, Nigerians can go to Sambisa Forest and bring anyone there, dead or alive, who wants to stop this privilege. The Federal Government should free #Nnamdikanu and understand that Kanu is just one individual amongst millions of others, who are aggrieved with this country. We can only win back their trust,if we extend a hand of friendship and forgiveness to all concerned. The poor man in Katsina State is faced with the same problem as the poor man in the South East or any other part of the country. We all should add our voices so that the State governors, Legislators and LGA chairmen could be made to give account of their stewardship.
Only recently, I Go Dye wrote the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister for Justice, Abubakar Malami to prevail on President Muhammadu to release the Ibori loot from the United Kingdom to Delta State for social development. He is known to have written many letters to people in power on issues that affect the polity.
