BIAFRA NEWS : Muslim Group optimistic Igbo presidency will stop Biafra agitation

 Biafran Jews mark 50 years since failed bid for independence | The Times of  Israel

The United Muslim Ummah League (UMUL) has said electing an Igbo, as president in 2023, will quell the agitations for Biafra nation. The Muslim group, who urged Nigerians from the five geo-political zones to support the Southeast for President of Nigeria, called on Enugu State Governor, Chief Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, to contest for president, because he is a unifier. 

In a statement, its National Coordinator, Mallam Abubakar Mustapha, noted that two of the three major tribes in Nigeria; Yoruba and Hausa, had produced presidents. He also added it would be only fair for all political parties to zone power to the Eastern region to avoid unnecessary tension and agitation for secession ahead of the election.

According to the UMUL: “As a religious group with concerns for unity, progress and development of Nigeria, we have resolved to make case for Igbo presidency with hope that all the Biafra agitations threatening our existence as a sovereign nation will stop immediately.

“It is against this background that we have picked the former House of Representatives members and current Governor of Enugu State, Chief Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, as one of the most receptive leader and unifying factor in the South East geo-political zone to heed our clarion call to contest.

“Nigeria is bleeding and needs a bridge builder and leader with reputation for sound leadership prowess, economic knowledge and requisite experience to ensure even development across all states.

“From our records, we discovered that it is only Enugu State that the governor has deliberately worked assiduously to ensure that Christians and Muslims live in peace. We have discovered too that our Northern brothers in Enugu are protected each time there were threats of breach of peace in the east,” the group said.

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

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...
