The French Government has said it will not support those agitating for the secession of any part of Nigeria.

France Ambassador to Nigeria, Denys Gauer in a chat with Guardian said there was no future for Biafra.

He said, “We are working with Nigeria and we are supporting it as the only country.

“This is absolutely clear and I don’t think there is any kind of future for Biafra. They are part of Nigeria and Nigeria has to remain as the only country.”

He added that France was working with the country in its fight against insurgency.

“I can confirm to you that we are now very close allies to the Nigerian Armed Forces in the fight against Boko Haram.

“We have no restrictions on that, we can sell any kind of equipment to the Nigerian government without any restrictions”, he added.
