ASABA-THE Delta State Government,
Wednesday said the people of the State are part
of the proposed Biafra Republic, reaffirming
their belief in one and united Nigeria.

The State Government in a state statement
signed by the Secretary to the State Government,
SSG, Chief Festus Agas, urged the people of the
state to remain law abiding and go about their
normal business without fear.

Agas in the statement said; "we object in its
totality, the inclusion of Delta State without our
consent in the proposed Biafra Republic.

This clarification has become necessary to avoid
any confusion or misunderstanding regarding
the status of Delta State in the renewed Biafra
agitation."

Continuing in the statement, he said; "while
some communities in Delta state may have
cultural affinity with the people of the South
East , it is clearly a patent error for anybody or
group to suggest or insinuate that Delta state or
more specifically the Anioma people have been
or are part of the South East that is supposed to
make up the proposed Biafra Republic".

Frowning at the renewed agitation of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the
Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign
Stateof Biafra, MASSOB, for the realisation of
independent State of Biafra, he said the
campaign which has been in formal of rallies in
the South East, often extends to to the South
South State, notably Rivers and Delta.

Meanwhile, the foundation of stone of BIM-
MASSOB Secretariat has been laid at Ubulu-
Uku and Ibusa in Aniocha South and Oshimili
South Local Government Area of Delta State
respectively by the presiding Bishop of Jesus the
Shepherd Ministry, Dr. A.S. Mogekwu.

Reacting to the violent clash, the Delta North
Zonal Leader of the Biafra Independent
Movement (BIM) and Movement for
Actualization sovereign State of Biafra
(MASSOB), Mr. Chinedu Anieifeobu, supported
by his Commander of Security, Prince Ignatus
Adiliajana, who supervised the inauguration of
the new secretariat in Ubulu-Uku, and the Delta
Central Zonal Leader, Mr. Uju Christian,
dissociated BIM-MASSOB from the alleged
killing.

They wondered why some agitators under the
IPOB became violent and condemned the
dangerous twist the agitation had assumed.
