Governor Aminu Bello Masari says Igbos should shun
Biafra
Governor Aminu Bello Masari of Katsina state,
President Buhari’s ‘hometown’ has told Igbos in the
north to drop all pro-Biafra agitations.
Masari advised the leadership of pan-Igbo cultural
organisation Ohaneze NdIgbo that this is necessary
in order for Igbos to leave peacefully with their
northern neighbours.
Masari appealed to Biafra agitators to consider the
desires of larger percentage of the Igbos who prefer
to earn their livelihood as Nigerians in every part of
the country.
Leadership reports that the governor gave the advice
when the leadership of the group in the 19 northern
states and FCT led by Eze Pampas Nahiwe paid him a
courtesy visit in Katsina.
The Ohanaeze Ndigbo leader, who is also the Eze
Ndigbo of Niger state said that the delegation was in
Katsina to resolve the crisis within the Igbo
community in state which is without a leader.
He said the group had already enlisted the aid of the
Emir of katsina, Alhaji Abdulmummuni kabir Usman to
help in reconciling the factions in the Igbo
community.
Meanwhile, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on
Sunday, October 2 said that no independence exists
in Nigeria .
The group in a statement signed by Powerful Emma
said the 56th independence anniversary marked by
Nigeria on Saturday, October 1 can only be described
as an enslavement celebration.
The IPOB said, preparations and events which
usually serve as a prelude to the annual celebration
have tragically turned out to be more rusty than it
have ever been.
