The Nigerian Indigenous Nationalities Alliance for Self-Determination (NINAS),has vowed to employ all lawful means to stop the general elections in the country in 2023 if the Nigerian government does not conduct a referendum for the aggrieved Indigenous Nationalities to decide whether they want to part of Nigerian Federation.
The group advocated the need for a complete abolition of the current 1999 Constitution which was described as an agent of slavery and fraud, promoting injustice, under-development and impunity in the South and Middle Belt of Nigeria.
The group NINAS said that after the proposed referendum, the people can now decide on the constitution they want for themselves in their separate Nations or within the Nigerian Federation.
At a press conference in Lagos,the group
implored political Parties to save Nigerians from slavery by failing to submit candidates for the 2023 general elections in order to stop the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria being used to renew the woes currently battling Nigeria in all fronts.
The group enjoined the people of South and Middle Belt of Nigeria living in the United States of America, Canada and Europe to troop out in solidarity within their oppressed people in the homeland to participate in the one million march being organised to hold in front of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) commencing from September 14th to 24th, 2021 in New York, United States.
Chairman of NINAS, Professor Banji Akintoye, stated that the 120-day period of consultations with the Peoples of Nigeria and the international ommunity, the Indigenous Nationalities of Nigeria from all parts of the South and Middle-Belt, in embrace of the NINAS grand propositions, marched out to the streets in their homelands and in Capital Cities of the World including Washington DC, New York and London, to assert their right to self-determination and their rejection of the unitary union of death Nigeria has become for their people under the fraudulent 1999 constitution.
He added:“Inside this 120-Day period, a global caveat by NINAS on reckless foreign loans by the current Federal Government of Nigerian, saw China cancelling a loan of $1 billion on Nigeria for construction of a gas pipeline, while the US cancelled an order for attack helicopters on Nigeria and the US Congress followed up with the ban of sale of weapons to Nigeria following request for such a ban by NINAS amidst US concerns about gross human rights abuse by the regime in Nigeria.
NINAS further requests that citizens help intensify the Signing of the ongoing NINAS Referendum Petition by which the NINAS December 16, 2020 CFM Proclamation is Addressed to the United Nations Security Council and also support and where possible, partake in the March at the 76th UN General Assembly, September 2021.
“In this same vein, let the ‘campaign to persuade the political parties to close-shop’ forthwith for the reasons outlined herein before, be intensified. This will bring us to Domino-2 and the Transitioning Threshold, precipitating the Referendums we seek.
“With the Defeat of the 1999 Constitution and in the Spirit of the Transitioning prescribed in the December 16, 2020 NINAS CFM proclamation, all governments in the alliance territories are invited to brace up, take charge, and assume responsibility for the safety and economic welfare of their people, making appropriate legislations and Regulations to step into roles previously denied them or prohibited by the fraudulent and now Disputes 1999 Constitution, especially via the 68-Item Federal Exclusive legislative list in that constitution pending when formal transitional mechanisms are worked out.”
