Biafra Agitation: Obasanjo Is Talking Nonsense-Anglican Bishop

The Arch­bishop of Enugu ecclesiastic province,Most Revd.Dr Emmanuel Chukwuma, in response to Olusegun Obasanjo's statement about the Pro-Biafra agitation lambasted the former  President  of talking jargon insisting that in no time, the Biafra struggle will become a reality.




Dr Chukwuma stated that Biafra cannot be wished away so long as Ndigbo are still being neglected and margin­alised in the Nigerian state.

The clergyman who is also the Anglican Bishop of Enu­gu  noted that it was nonsensical for Obasanjo to say the Biafran agitators have commer­cialised the course.

He also accused Obasanjo who is an elder statesman of pointing accusations instead of prof­fering solutions on how Igbo marginalisation would end.

According to him, as much as he does not support the print­ing of a Biafran Passport, he believes that the youths who are protesting were provoked to do so by the long years of Igbo marginalisation.

He urged Obasanjo to be sincere to himself as he did not improve the lot of the Igbo when he was president.

In the sane vein, the leader of Movement for the Actu­alization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) Solo­mon Chukwu, said that the former president was talking nonsense.

According to him, MASSOB was not going to com­promise the struggle for the actualization of Biafra through peaceful means.

“ We know where we are going. Chief Obasanjo is talking nonsence. Whether the likes of Obasanjo like it or not, very soon Biafra will be a reality. We are not ignorant people as he said. We know what we are doing and very soon we will get there.

“ We are about to hold elections, and committee is about to be set up to draw the modalities for the elec­tions. So we know what we are doing”. He said.
