The Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), an socio-cultural organization, has advised the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government that threats of death or imprisoning agitators cannot quench the call for Biafra.
It maintained that dialogue and negotiation remains the viable means to end the issue.
The group warned the government to tread with caution over the trial of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
In a statement made available to newsmen on Friday, the Igboayaka O. Igboayaka-led Ohanaeze Youth Council reminded the Nigerian government that from 1967 to 1970, a genocidal war deliberately executed with the aid of Britain, Russia, France, Germany and United States of America could not silence nor bury the agitation of Biafra, adding that anyone or government both at local or international level, thinking that crushing Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB will stop the agitation must be hallucinating.
The highest Igbo youth body called on Igbo leaders, present and former Governors, Senators, traditional and religious leaders to rally round Nnamdi Kanu for his safety and use the opportunity of his release to seek for the workable approach for political cum economic survival of neighbors in Nigeria political project.
