Igala Dissociate Self From Biafra Agitation by omusiliyu(m): 5:59pm On Jun 14, 2017 |
The Igala Social-Cultural Groups on Wednesday dissociated the Igala nation of Kogi State from having any part with the Biafra agitators calling for secession in the country. Spokesman of the group, Mr Barry Moses Idakwo at a news conference yesterday in Lokoja expressed anger over the inclusion of the Igala nation in the map of the Republic of Biafra being agitated for by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and others. The group lamented that it was an attempt to balkanise the ancient Igala nation, stressing that Nigeria is a democratic country where any Nigerian should be allowed to live peacefully and secured as prescribed by laws without any fear of intimidation. "The agitators for Biafra have marginalisation as the main plan for their grievances. It is therefore unthinkable to annex the Igala kingdom without consulting us. This is against the spirit of fairness, sovereignty, equity, peaceful cohabitation and democracy to falsely claimed that Igala kingdom which was never defeated in any war as part of Biafra," he said. He said that the Igala ethnic nationality holds the unity, oneness and indivisibility of Nigeria as sacrosanct. "We urge our Igbo brothers to engage the Nigeria nation more purposefully for quality governance rather than agitations for separatist state, "We, as a people in middle belt crave for peace at all times because when war breaks out, we will be at the receiving end the theatre of war. The last civil war holds wars very unpleasant testimonies," Idakwo said. The group decried the minimal federal presence in Igala kingdom in terms of infrastructure and appealed to the federal government to continue work on the construction of the Bagana-Guto bridge which link its people the FCT, South-east and South-South. Idakwo said there was urgent need to swear in Professor Stephen Ikani Ocheni as a substantial Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria having passed through screening at the National Assembly. https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/igala-dissociate-self-from-biafra-agitation/201820.html |

It is good that different groups are coming out in the open to reject Biafra. I and so many others are fine with it. BUT if the UN or AU backs a Biafran referendum tomorrow, I hope all these groups sticks to their words and not ask to participate. If you deny Biafra today, please deny it forever. Don't come back last minute to join when the odds are no longer in your favor. 1 Like |

The sooner IPOB makes the Biafra struggle an Igbo-only affair, the better. I would give them my full support if they do this. These minority groups offer us very little in the grand scheme of things. 3 Likes |

Scholes007: My brother, this is something that needs to happen. Let the rejections continue. It is good news because it will help IPOB know where to focus their resources and energy on. "A successful fisherman casts his nets far and wide and slowly narrows the net upon return." IPOB should start narrowing their focus to areas that have shown strong support and immediately remove areas that have issued LEGITIMATE statements. |

kuuljay:You are making too much noise friend. I am not a fan of IPOB or a separate state but I remain very loyal to Igbo nation and its progress. I only refer to the hungry advice from hungry bunch of people. Igbo nation has its problems but Nigeria have very much bigger problem which I believe you should focus your mind on rather than chasing shadows. |
