‘Drop Agitation Now’ – Obiozor cautions Nnamdi Kanu’s IPOB on Biafra

Prof Obiozor, who said this during a World Press Conference, tagged “Ohanaeze Ndigbo: The Dawn of a New Era” at Ohaneze Ndigbo Secretariat in Enugu on Wednesday, appealed to the Mazi Kanu to drop his ambition of calling for a separate state.

The Ohanaeze President reminded Kanu that the Biafra Nation was beyond him to decide alone and advised that all utterances and actions that could raise anti-Igbo sentiment or put Ndigbo in danger must be avoided as diplomacy is the best way to go.

Obiozor urged Kanu to, henceforth “toe the part of honour, listen to the voice of wisdom and drop his agitation for a separate state.”

According to him, “The Igbo nation is not at war with Nigeria and has nothing pending before any authority that demands a separate existence from Nigeria.

“Nnamdi Kanu is one of us and he must listen to some of us for several reasons. The fact and reality are that the issues of Biafra are above and beyond his capacity to decide.

“He must listen because he is one of us and we are all in this dilemma together. And our mutual and collective responsibilities are sacred and must be respected.”
