Igbo Leaders Turn Down Biafra’s Call by randieboy: 5:32am On Jul 04, 2017

However, a pro-secessionist group says it will press ahead with its campaign.
Security forces have killed at least 150 people since August 2015 to quell pro-independence protests, Amnesty International says.

The campaign has also fuelled tension in northern Nigeria, where some youth groups have retaliated by threatening to expel Igbos who live there.

So, the statement by Igbo leaders pledging loyalty to Nigeria could help ease tension in the north, says the BBC’s Naziru Mikailu in the capital, Abuja.

Following a specially convened meeting in the Igbo heartland of Enugu city to discuss the crisis, state governors, lawmakers, traditional and religious leaders issued a statement on Sunday to give their “full support” to a ‘united Nigeria’.

However, the statement called for the vast and oil-rich West African state to be ‘restructured’ to achieve ‘a just and equitable society’.

Many people in the southeast accuse successive governments of failing to develop their areas.

Nnamdi Kanu of no previous experience or qualifications must be their leader.

Okike Alabama could not have been wrong in picking him. All other leaders are Afonja.
