The Parish Priest of the Blessed Iwene
Tansi, Umudioka, in Anambra State, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Obidimma, has said Igbos
clamoring for Biafra were “selfish in nature.”
Obidimma who said this while
addressing journalists after meeting with the leader of the Indigenous People
of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, wondered on the maturity of the South Easterners
to handle their affairs.
The cleric, who expressed his
support for the restructuring of Nigeria, also frowned at the inequitable
distribution of the nation’s wealth at the detriment of some regions of the
country.
According to Obidimma, “In our
country Nigeria, it is certain that there is marginalisation, nepotism and
tribalism.
“We are one Nigeria but some
people are being marginalised and that is why we have all these agitations, but
in everything, let there be prudence as we also pray for divine intervention.
“Kanu must know that Igbos are
clamouring for Biafra but an average Igbo man is selfish in nature and the
question is, how mature are we to handle our affairs.
“Where are the Igbo cabals and
stakeholders; like Nnia Nwodo, Peter Obi, Emeka Anyaoku, Ifeanyi Ubah, Prof
Charles Soludo, Emmanuel Iwuanwaywu, and many others.
“There has to be a unifying
umbrella where they will gather and register their protest.”

ReplyDeleteThat is the reason why the president and his security agents should term agitation as security threats, so what would they call Boko Haram and heards men?
