Mr. Ossai Ovie, a special assistant to Delta State governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, has stated that Delta State is not part of Biafra.

He, therefore, asked the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, and the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, to remove the state from the map the group reportedly created.

Ovie told newsmen on Thursday in Asaba, the state capital, that Delta had never been part of Biafra, calling its inclusion in the map an error and wrong judgement.

“Delta is not part of the South-East region and does not subscribe to the renewed agitation by the Indigenous People of Biafra and others.
“We are from the South South part of Nigeria and we are proud Nigerians”, he declared.

Recall that the Ijaw Youth Council similarly lambasted MASSOB for claiming that the South-South region is part of the Biafra territory.

A statement by IYC spokesman, Barr. Henry Iyalla, said while the Ijaw and Niger Delta people identify with the Biafra struggle, their own struggle for self-determination “predates the Biafra agitations”.

that's ok, th biafran dream was always about self determination. if delta doesn't want to join, they can stay where they are or form their own republic.

Everyone is just using our Egboe brothers to chop star . Terrible time to be an Egboe. The deluded clowns used to call anyone who says these people don't give a fu..ck about them Afonja

They know they can't survive without the ND hence the obsession lol. They have nothing in those 5 villages other than red mud and coal but they are always the ones constituting nuisance everywhere All they contribute is fruitless ultimata, noise, chest-beating and protests

Have you guys noticed that the average Ipob cannot post without attaching SS to his posts lol. Same clowns have the guts to call others leeches
