AS THE SULTAN VISITS US, AMIDST TEARS IN OUR EYES
Days after Mike Agbahime sobbingly pleaded
at the 4th meeting of Eastern Consultative Assembly (ECA) for Justice over the
discharge and release of Dauda Ahmed and Co. who brutally killed his wife
Bridget Agbahime in Kano on 2nd June 2016, we heard that the Sultan of Sokoto
is visiting.
A week after Fulani herdsmen beheaded
Ndubisi Uzoma in Iddo, Airport road Abuja, and no arrests have been made, we
are told the Sultan is coming.
A fortnight after the Militarization of
Ala-Igbo, hours after Amnesty International released the videos of extra
Judicial killing of Umu-Igbo. The intimidating military invasion code named
operation python dance. We are told, that the Sultan is coming.
Days after the court in Abuja announced
that the people’s hero Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will be tried secretly, as the
government witnesses will be shielded in court, we hear that the Sultan is
coming.
Hunger, deprivation, frustration, anger and
trepidation rules our land, we are told that the Sultan is coming.
As fears about the stubborn refusal by
sections of the country to quit opposing the much needed political
restructuring of Nigeria along the lines of regional autonomous anchored on
true fiscal federalism, offends all, we hear that the Sultan is coming.
In market stalls, relaxation centres,
offices, road side gatherings, Village squares, sport clubs etc,. small talk is
centered on the anger in the land over the release and discharge of Muslim
youths who murdered Bridget Agbahime in cold blood in Kano State.
As 45 million Ndi-Igbo find themselves in a
state of mourning, nobody believes the sultan of Sokoto will visit Enugu and go
home, without addressing the trauma Ndi-Igbo are going through at this period,
especially the families of Ndubisi Uzoma, beheaded in Abuja last week, Bridget
Agbahime and the shocking release of her murderers. For the sultan to do so,
will be telling the people of Igbo land: Your tears do not mean anything, Igbo
lives do not matter and one Nigeria is a huge joke
