Chidi Samuel || Rochas Okorocha, the Imo State governor, and chairman of All Peoples Congress Governors forum on Thursday in Markudi lashed out at Biafra agitators once again, describing the call for an Independent State of Biafra as a huge joke and child’s play.
Okorocha, who lead a delegation of APC Governors to Markudi to visit the Internally displaced person camps and victims of the recent flood in Benue state said no reasonable Igbo man would support the agitation.
The governor a strong critic of the Nnamdi Kanu lead group urged Nigerians not to see IPOB as an Igbo affair.
“I have always said IPOB is an agitation group. But the captioning is bad when you talk of sovereignty within a sovereign nation and also talk of secession, Okorocha told newsmen in Markudi.
“Let me assure you that no Igbo person will support secession and people must see this as a childish act. We must stand up to address it before it becomes a national problem.
“As for us leaders in that area, it will be insane for anyone to think that the IPOB leader will ask us to follow him to seek secession.
“So Nigerians must learn to address it specifically. If you are addressing IPOB you should be specific and not to address it as an Igbo affair.”
