Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, has said the state will
never be part of Biafra.
This is as the governor stressed that the state was better
in a fair and equitable Nigeria, reiterating that “if anybody tells you about
Biafra, Ebonyi State will never be part of Biafra”.
Umahi stated this at the Ecumenical Centre, Abakaliki, on
Thursday, during a reception organised for him after declaring his presidential
bid, in Abuja.
According to the governor, “Let nobody be afraid of the
Presidency of an Igbo man. The Igbo man is a builder and not a destroyer. There
is no Igbo man that will be the President of this country and would like to
divide or destroy it because we have investments everywhere.
“First and foremost, I have been saying it. If anybody tells
you about Biafra, Ebonyi State will never be part of Biafra. We are not Biafra.
“We have so oppressed and now we are finding our feet and
you want us to go back. We will not. We will not.
“We are better in a
fair and equitable Nigeria. And we are not going anywhere.
“We are not going anywhere. We won’t. We will continue to
appeal and dialogue to be treated fairly and equitably like other regions of
Nigeria.
“Some enemies of the South-East say if we become President
we will divide the country. How will we divide the country? We have investments
everywhere.”
