In a viral news story that shook the tabloids, the Former Governor of Ebonyi State, Mr. Dave Umahi, who is also the present Minister for Works, was captured saying that the Federal Government was ready to negotiate the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Recall that the same Dave Umahi, in 2020, was the key plotter of the assassination of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu but failed and was exposed.
Dave Umahi and his colleagues then, in pretense, invited Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for a peace talk on how to stop the agitation for the sovereign State of Biafra. The IPOB, a worldwide movement led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, was waxing very strong at the time. When the plot failed under his watch, they moved to the judiciary and proscribed IPOB, labelling it a Terrorist organization. This was one of several attempts to appease the Fulani cabals against the wishes of the majority of the Southeastern people.
When Dave Umahi failed for the third time to stop Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the IPOB, he joined forces with other governors. He allocated billions of naira to sponsor internal divisions within the IPOB in an attempt to undermine the movement by creating different factions. Unfortunately, this approach also ultimately failed. Dave Umahi was involved in the effort to kidnap Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and bring him back to Nigeria. They succeeded in capturing him in Kenya and incarcerating him, believing they had effectively suppressed the struggle for self-determination. However, it is essential to recognize that no one can completely extinguish an ideology.
In Kenya, where Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was kidnapped and secretly renditioned to Nigeria, the case before the Kenyan courts ruled in favour of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and awarded him a substantial amount of money.
Dave Umahi is still hatching plans to get Mazi Nnamdi Kanu out of the way by every means possible, and no wonder he was captured speaking about the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as if he genuinely cares. We must be watchful of every step taken by Dave Umahi.
