BIAFRA NEWS: people in south-east brainwashed to think 2023 elections won’t hold

 people in south-east brainwashed to think 2023 elections won’t hold

Umahi said those with such a mindset believe that if elections do not take place, the national assembly will declare a state of emergency in the region.

In recent times, the south-east has witnessed a spate of attacks on police stations and government facilities including offices belonging to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)

Speaking at the presidential ministerial press briefing on Thursday, Umahi said the country will remain together under the 1999 Nigerian constitution (as amended), noting that “until it is changed, nobody can do anything about it”.

“A lot of people have been brainwashed in the south-east about Biafra. The Biafra I desire is the Biafra of the mind, Biafra of development, the Biafra where each state of south-east will deploy the resources that we are getting from the centre, and from our IGR to develop our place,” he said

“That is the Biafra that I see. I see a Biafra of equity and justice all over the regions. That’s what I see.

“So, some of them have been indoctrinated that there will be no election in 2023 and that is very dangerous.

“Because, if you say there will be no election in your region, then the national assembly could make an emergency law to say there will be emergency rule there and there is nothing you can do about it.”

Umahi said the governors of the region have appealed to their youths to give them six months to dialogue with the federal government with a view to resolving their grievances.

He said if after six months their grievances are not addressed, they will join them in their agitation.

The governor said: “We are calling on our youths to submit their demands to us, we will come to the centre and submit.

“If in the next six months we have not substantially addressed it, we can join you in the agitation but right now we don’t support you to insult the president, leaders of south-east and other leaders. That is not agitation, that is foolishness. Agitation is agitation.

“So we have to tell ourselves the truth, if we want to address marginalisation and exclusion from the affairs of the nation, we have to apply wisdom.

“We shouldn’t go by the way of violence and allow people to hijack peaceful demands of our people. This is our position.”

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
