NasarawaReports - Godson Ikpontu
Chief Godwin Onemaka, leader of the Igbo community has trashed the agitation of the Indigenous people of Biafra, urging them to reflect on the collateral damages and prevailing consequences which the movement will expose.

He commended the south eastern governors for reviewing the weight of the matter. Chief Godwin Onemaka, made this assertions during an interview at Adamawa state with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) today. Onemaka cited the devastating impact of a civil war and the need to shun the movement so as to maintain peace and unity in Nigeria.

the leader of the Igbo community said that the Biafra agitation has failed and there is no need to restart it; the agitators should consider the interests of the Igbos in other parts of the country. “We are looking for a way of developing ourselves and the country while most of us have invested much outside south eastern part of the country, he says.

However, he cleared the air on the position of Igbo community in Adamawa state, he says “we want to distance ourselves from the agitations, we have lived in the northern part of the country for years and our children have studied there, most of whom are graduates now,’’ Onemaka said.
The leader also commended the south eastern state governors for intervening in the matter but expressed concern about declaring the agitators as terrorists.

NasarawaReports gathered that the Ndigbo Peace Movement and Arewa Groups have stressed on the need for peaceful co-existence not-withstanding our ethnic and religious differences.

The Igbos have a large market they have to maintain as Nigerians.
