Socio-cultural group, The Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo has called on
Igbos to forget the agitations for Biafra and focus on the calls for
restructuring the nation.
President of the group, Chief John Nnia Nwodo on Thursday pointed out that the
agitation for Biafra was not an Igbo agenda. He made these statements during
the Inauguration of state and local government executives of the Abia state
chapter of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo.He said;
“We should forget Biafra and insist on restructuring,” adding, however, that no
Igbo is happy with the situation of things in Nigeria, “we must seek for
peaceful ways of resolving the issues.”
He spoke further that the restoration of Biafra was a tall order due to the
numerous constitutional roadblocks, finalizing by saying that the agitations
will not be in the overall interest of Igbos and their political relationships
with other regions of the country.
He also advised youths, that in as much as they were protesting being
marginalized, they should tone down the words and hate speech.
