Elite Behind Pro-biafran Agitations by explorer250(m): 7:20am On Dec 14, 2015 |
A former President of the
Nigerian Bar Association, Dr.
Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), has
linked the renewed agitation
for the Biafran state with
what he described as the
conspiracy of the elite.
According to Agbakoba, what
the pro-Biafran protesters
were agitating for was not
the creation of the Biafra
state but the government’s
attention to the years of
neglect and the manipulation
of the people of the region
by different political leaders.
Agbakoba, who suggested
that the pro-Biafran protests
were being sponsored,
warned President
Muhammadu Buhari to be on
the lookout for the elite who,
he said, were working to
sabotage his government.
According to him, the said
elite were dissatisfied with
Buhari’s pro-people agenda
and were working to
sabotage it so that they
could continue to enrich
themselves at the expense
of the less privileged.
“The elite include people in
high position in the churches,
traditional institutions,
professions and businesses.
They represent a small
percentage of Nigerians but
exert tremendous influence,
with a view to capture the
state.
“This class is very
dissatisfied about the
ideological change of
government. They see the
new agenda as a threat to
their privileged position,”
Agbakoba said while
speaking with journalists last
week on the state of the
nation.
He urged Buhari to address
what he called the cracked
political foundation of the
country handed down by the
British, saying it was the
only way to address ethnic
agitations in the country
including Boko Haram and the
pro-Biafran agitation. www.punchng.com/elite-behind-pro-biafran-agitations/ 3 Likes |

Very obvious. Where could the money to print thousands of flags, banners, T shirts, transportation and other logistics be coming from if not from rich elite in the East? All in a bid to forment trouble for PMB? I only pity all the ekpas that are either out of ignorance or frustrations are getting used to settle political scores 3 Likes 1 Share |

Even the most anti-Biafrans have told Buhari to be courteous while advising him that no politician can pull that crowd without paying them. Let Agbakoba replicate such by championing for true Federalism as he has been calling for since time immemorial and let's see the outcome. Hypocrite 6 Likes 2 Shares |
