Biafra Nations Youth League,
BNYL, has warned that the decision of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led
Federal Government to pay pardoned Biafra Police Officers would not stop the
agitation for Igbo nation.
BNYL Leader, Princewill Obuka,
while faulting the move, alleged that the Ohanaeze Ndigbo will hijack the
process and present just Igbo officers, “whereas they are war veterans in
numbers from Ogoja axis, Calabar axis, Ibibio people, and the old Rivers
State.”
Decrying the alleged
marginalization of the South East and South South, Obuka said the
Ogoja-Ikom-Calabar superhighways has been abandoned for years, just as he said
that the Port Harcourt -Enugu express way has equally been abandoned.
Noting that the demands for
Biafra is beyond construction of roads and payment of pensions, Obuka said,
“even if the government decides to address the issue today, it will not end the
Biafra quest as it has become too late.”
In a statement on Monday, Obuka
said, “It is not just paying our war veterans, we are talking about
marginalization of ethnic groups of former Eastern region, there are refugees
in Bakassi peninsula that have not been resettled, we are talking about
abandoned Calabar and Port Harcourt seaports”
Obuka also condemned the group of
Igbo people who were at the Aso Rock to thank President Mohammadu Buhari over
Operation Python Dance in the South East.
The BNYL leader maintained that
they were not Igbo but hired members of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
