A group of clergymen under the umbrella body of the Igbo Ministers Commission has said the self-determination struggle by the detained leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, is a fallout of the failure of the 1914 amalgamation of the Northern and Southern protectorates by the British government.

They emphasised that Nigeria’s creation in 1914 was not a union born of mutual consent but a colonial construct imposed by Britain for administrative and economic convenience.

However, in a statement in Abuja yesterday, the ministers called on Nigerians to come together in a peaceful and inclusive dialogue to define the country they want and safeguard the future.
The statement signed by Rev. Tony Uzo Anthony, President General, and Apostle Tony Osi, Secretary General, canvassed that a new Nigeria to be advanced in a fresh dialogue must be one grounded in mutual respect for diversity and shared humanity.

“The agitation for self-determination, as championed by Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu through IPOB, underscores a fundamental truth: Nigeria’s creation in 1914 was not a union born of mutual consent but a colonial construct imposed by Britain for administrative and economic convenience.

“Lord Frederick Lugard’s amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates disregarded the profound ethnic, religious, and socio-cultural differences between these regions, forging an artificial nation that has struggled for cohesion ever since.

“The North, rooted in feudalism and indirect rule, and the South, shaped by Western education and urbanisation, were set on divergent paths that entrenched suspicion and inequality.

“Post-independence, rather than bridging these divides, Nigeria’s political elite exploited ethnicity, widening the fractures in our federation.

“The result has been persistent discord, undermining the promise of unity.

“We call for Nigerians to come together in a peaceful, inclusive dialogue to define the country they want—one grounded in
mutual respect for our diversity and shared humanity.

“Only through such a process can we address the flaws of our foundation and build a nation or nations that truly reflects the aspirations of all its peoples.

“This is the irrefutable truth, and pretending otherwise is only postponing the doomsday,” the statement said.
