The Igbo community in Adamawa
State on Thursday dismissed the agitation for Biafra.
Leader of the community, Godwin
Onemaka while addressing journalists in Yola, described the struggle for Biafra
as unnecessary.
Onemaka urged the agitators to
consider the consequences of plunging Nigerian into chaos by divisive
activities.
Citing the effect of another
Civil war, Onemaka maintained that Biafra agitation had failed and there was no
need to restart it again.
According to Onemaka, agitators
should have a rethink because people of the South East extraction are looking
for ways to develop there selves.
Onemaka said, “Biafra agitation
has failed and there is no need to restart it; the agitators should consider
the interests of the Igbo in other parts of the country.
“We, the Igbo in Adamawa, kick
against the agitations for Biafra and we view it as an unnecessary capable of
plunging the nation into crisis.
“We advise the agitators to stop,
so that Nigeria will remain united and they should remember that since the
agitation had failed in the past, revisiting it is unnecessary.
“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.
“So, we want to distance
ourselves from the agitation, we have lived in the northern part of the country
for years and our children have studied there most of whom are graduates now.’’
