ONYEKA OWENU TO BUHARI : Agitation For Referendum Is People’s Right

Singer cum politician, Onyeka Owenu , has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to pull out Nigerian troops from the South East. 
Iexclusive Nigeria reports that the former Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer of the National Centre for Women Development, made this call while speaking at a press conference organized by the Credible Igbo Women Initiative (CIWI) in Lagos. Onyeka Owenu also added that agitation for referendum is the right of people.
“We come here together with one thing in our mind: peace, love and equity. Something dreadful is happening in south east right now. I happened to come from Imo state and I know what people are passing through there. Please, federal government should stop the killings.
“Some people want to agitate for referendum, it is their right. Some people want to cry out that they are being marginalized, it is their right. Listen to them. You may not agree with them, but they have the right to speak. We are begging, we are asking, please let’s sit down and talk about what is going on. Let’s call our people who are agitating, who are not happy with the situation and talk to them. Nigerian government let’s talk. Pull out the troops from Igboland.
“I want to use this opportunity to reach out to our young people to embrace dialogue. Please, come let’s talk. We will stand for the right of Igbo people” she said.
