The United Progressive Party has called on agitators of Biafra to actively participate in politics rather than street protests, which exposed youths to avoidable deaths.

The Chairman of the party in Anambra State, Dr. Sylvester Igwilo, made the call while addressing members of some Biafra support groups, who met with UPP’s State Working Committee in Awka on Sunday.

According to Igwilo, young people had died due to wrong approach adopted by Biafra agitators, he added that the people can be heard through their votes and not street agitations that might take their lives in the process.

Igwilo said: “Political participation is the surest way to freedom and not violence; you must get your members registered to make them able to vote, so that through the ballot you can speak.

“UPP believes in ideas and democracy; we do not support the death of young people in the streets and we are saying `no more’ to that and that is why we want you to be part of this process.


“UPP will hold credible primaries that will produce the best candidate but he can only win with your votes; so the strategy is to mobilise your members to be part of us and vote.”

What rubbish! Does he know that the constitution of Nigeria allows 4 fundamental freedoms.

Freedom of speech
Freedom of movement
Freedom of expression
And freedom of "conscience and belief"

All can be found in chapter 4 of the Nigerian constitution.

So when people express their constitutional right to peaceful protest, they get killed by the Army and Police who dont respect the constitution.

The a stupid party like UPP will turn around and blame those killed and forget those doing the killing.


UPP is trying to become relevant with the sweat and sacrifice of the Biafran agitators and it will never work because the Biafran agitators dont care about politics in Nigeria
