Raymond Dokpesi, the founder of DAAR Communications, has
disclosed how the agitation for Biafra by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra, IPOB, has affected the chances of the southeast producing a
Nigerian president.
Dokpesi disclosed that some Nigerians believe that Kanu
would force a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction to declare Biafra.
He said the IPOB leader may use militant tactics to
blackmail and force an Igbo President to declare South East independence.
He stressed that Kanu and IPOB have complicated the
agitation of the Southeast to produce a Nigerian president.
Dokpesi, in a statement he issued on Monday, stressed his
belief in a united and indivisible Nigeria.
The statement reads partly: “The emergence of IPOB and its
influence across the South East has complicated and undermined the agitation
for patriotic Nigerians of Igbo extraction to lead this nation as far as the
2023 election is concerned.
“If nobody has told Ohaneze Ndigbo before, the concern today
from some other regions is that if Nnamdi Kanu plays the role of Aguiyi Ironsi
in leading a militant revolt against constitutional government in the southeast
under Igbo presidency, the president will be pressured by his base to
facilitate the UN processes for the South East to call for independence from
Nigeria.
“Thus an Igbo President may be compromised in protecting the
political and geographic boundaries of Nigeria whilst Nigeria remains under the
threat of IPOB’s secessionist activities.”
Prior to his rearrest, Kanu had led the agitation for the
actualization of Biafra.
While in the United Kingdom, UK, Kanu was pushing for the
actualization of Biafra by engaging those he could across the world.
He used Twitter and Radio Biafra more in spreading his
Biafra messages across Nigeria and the world.
