The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is
ignorant of the depth of unity in the diversity of
Nigeria, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the minister of
information and culture said today in his latest
deconstruction of the group.
Mohammed stated this in Abuja when he featured
on “Embelembe” a phone-in radio programme on
101.1 Human Rights Radio.
The Minister faulted the group over hate and
divisive speeches by its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, the
violent attack of the military and extortion of
innocent Nigerian at illegal road blocks.
Giving instances, the Minister said that the call by
Kanu on the Igbo “not to attend any Church where
the pastor is a Yoruba man” is premised on
ignorance on the diversity of the country.
Mohammed said that the Mountain of Fire
Ministry established by an Igbo, has a Football
Club owned by a Yoruba, with a coach from Igbo
extraction and players across all the regions and
tribes of the country.
He stressed that Nigerians are so interwoven and
united and a call for violent division would not
succeed.
Mohammed noted that the Federal government
was not averse to agitation from any quarter
provided it is carried out in a manner that would
not result into violence and war.
He commended the military, the state governors
particularly from the East and the North, the
traditional rulers and religious leaders for their
timely intervention to nip the crises started by
IPOB’s in the bud.
