American Veterans of Igbo Descent, AVID, has told the Federal Government to return Nigeria to the 1960/1963 regional autonomy to save the country from implosion.
This was contained in a statement issued by Dr Sylvester Onyia, and Dr Godson Obiagwu, AVID President and Secretary respectively.
“In light of the fact that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is still being held without authorization, both the North and the South have agreed that Nigeria should be restructured.
“The United States Military Veterans of Igbo Descent, believes that a return of Nigeria to 1960/63 regional autonomy is the only way to mitigate Nigeria’s socio-economic and security problems”, the statement read partly.
AVID which also renewed its demand for the immediate and unconditional release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, said that the growing clamour for restructuring of Nigeria, had vindicated Kanu who was misunderstood by many when he was warning the country.
According to the group, Kanu’s predictions about Nigeria have almost been fulfilled.
It recalled that Kanu had during a meeting with South East Governors, also agreed to a return to the 1960/1963 constitution as condition to review his agitation for Biafra’s restoration before his house was invaded in 2017.
AVID, therefore, advised the Presidency, to as a matter of urgency, consider the return to the 1960/1963 constitution to navigate the country out of the woods.
It also urged the Federal Government to consider other demands made by Kanu during the meeting with South East leaders, arguing that those demands if obliged, will help restore the confidence of South East in the country.
