Biafra: We don’t want war again in Nigeria – Igbos in Oyo Pleads
The
Ezendigbo of Oyo State, Dr. Alex Anozie has stated that the proscription of the
activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) was a right step in the
right direction.
He also said
the South-East governors and the Ohanaeze Ndigbo had taken a wise decision to
save the region from another war.
Anozie said
it would be unwise for Igbos to go into another war, having lost millions of
their people in the 1967 – 1970 civil war.
The Ndigbo
leader told the Media in his Ibadan office, that Igbo regretted the civil war
fought in the past, adding that the region could not afford to go into another
war.
“It is a
wise decision taken by the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo and South East
governors. This will douse the tension in the country.
“We don’t
want war again in Nigeria. We have fought war before and lost millions of lives
and property worth billions. We don’t want such a thing in this country again.
“I’ll advise
our people to take it easy and continue to appeal to the Federal Government to
listen to us so that our agitation won’t aggravate another crisis again. Igbos
are the most committed group to the Nigeria Project,” he said.
