ILORIN – Director, Centre for Peace and Strategic Studies (CPSS), University of Ilorin, Dr. Mahfouz Adedimeji, has said that the agitation for secession by members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is misplacement of priorities.
The University Don said this while speaking at the 2017 UN international day of peace and lecture in Ilorin.
Dr. Adedimeji said that secession was not a precursor to the Eldorado that some people were fantasising about.
Adedimeji also posited that agitation for secession is like cutting the head to cure head ache, which is never a solution,even as he added that there are bigger problems unknown to the agitators after secession which they won’t be able to cope with.
He noted that whoever had witnessed war won’t ever opted for it, stressing that there is no way they can embark on secession mission without lives and properties of innocent Nigerians been needlessly lost.
He therefore urged various agitators with one demand or the other to rather embrace dialogue and round table options to achieve their aims.
