His Imperial Majesty Oba Prof. Sunday Adejimola Amuseghan, Lawe II, Kalasuwe and the Paramount Ruler of Apoi & Ijaw Confederation has called on the President Buhari led government to focus his energy on providing good governance, tackle insecurity rather than going after Omoyele Sowore.
Kalasuwe made the call in his palace, King City, Oboro, Ese- Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State.
He said the human right activist is not the major problems facing Nigeria, adding that the constitution of the country allows peaceful protest.
He called on the president to stop targeting the human rights activist and focus on ecomomic, insecurity, COVID-19 challenges, good governance, asking him to ensure unconditional release of Sowore without delay.
“Let the Executive, Legislative and Judicial arms of the government embark on national transformational initiative synergy and let the Executive arm of the Federal Government take the needful political will and Executive Orders to address insecurity, economic recession, impending food scarcity, farmers’ killings and kidnapping of people, terrorism, nepotism, favouritism, tribalism, financial and political corruptions, judicial manipulation, bad investment policies, youth unemployment and religion bias in Nigeria”.
Kabiyesi further said that the government should focus on diversification of economy and stop excesses of political power and financial recklessness in the country.
“The Federal Government should not hide under Covid- 19 to defend poor performance. Let’s the government be proactive in tackling our common challenges and be well-focussed on our national integrity and economic growth rather than wictch-hunting the human rights activists thus causing unnecessary distractions”.
Nigeria belongs to all of us , and we must have a say to make us proud of our father land. Let’s practise full scale principles of federalism. Sowore is the voice of the voiceless in Nigeria, and he should be set free unconditionally.
If the principles of fundamental human rights and true federalism are practised, Nigeria will be great and command respect among the most powerful nations of the world”.
The monarch further said that “presently, self-identified religion and tribalism are preferred to detribalised agenda and technocratic consideration,the outcome will be political and economic crises.
Let’s put Nigeria first in the scheme of everything in Nigeria, and let’s give our traditional rulers constitutional roles to return Nigeria to its part of glory, we must guide and provide the needed leadership model to move Nigeria forward” Kalasuwe concluded.
