‘Biafra is dead and buried, protest leaders are enemies of progress’

The Ijaws of Niger Delta has described the sponsors of the recent pro-Biafra protests as enemies of progress.

The agitation for a Biafran state resulted in series of protests, destruction of properties and loss of lives, throughout the month of November, across the South-East.

Comrade Joseph Evah, speaking on Monday, on behalf of the Ijaws of Niger Delta, said the organisers of the protests clearly have sinister motives..

“We are aware that the apex body in Igbo land (Ohanaeze) has stated that Biafra is dead and buried.

“We are also aware that when the former President of the defunct Biafra, Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu died, he was given full military honour by the Federal Government, and when Ojukwu was alive, he also contested the presidency of Nigeria to show his faith in the country.

“We are also aware that Kanu and Ojukwu are peaceful people. Therefore, the current threat to peace through killing and maiming of innocent persons is gradually leading to ethnic and religious crises that can destabilize the country.”
