Biafra: Stay Off Cross River, Youths Warn MASSOB by Kyase(m): 4:37pm On Jun 01, 2016
In view of the wanton killings in the South-Eastern part of Nigeria, occasioned by the agitation for a sovereign state, Cross River State youths have warned the Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), to stay off the state.
State Chairman of National Youths Council of Nigeria (NYCN), Prince Ndiyu Ndiyu gave the warning in Calabar on Wednesday while reacting to claims by MASSOB during a rally in Ikom that Cross River was one of Biafra states.
Ndiyu said Cross River remained a peaceful state and will not condone any of violence capable of destroying such status.
He said, "Cross River State still maintain the stance as the most peaceful state in Nigeria and we intend to maintain that. Anything associated with violence and destruction of properties and lives is not part of the identity of Cross Riverians. So we will not allow anything capable of destroying that status."
Ndiyu said rather than fan the embers of war, MASSOB should resort to dialogue in their agitation for a sovereign state.
He also called on youths in the country to steer clear of violence and appealed to the agitators to embrace peace and desist from causing unnecessary tension in the country.
"It is imperative that we don't allow divisive elements like MASSOB in the country to flourish. We support Nigeria's unity in diversity.
"We totally disagree with the notion that Cross River state is part of Biafra. I admonish all our youths to steer clear of such groups as they represent chaos and rebellion to constituted authority. Cross River is for Nigeria."
On the frequent attacks on oil facilities by the Niger Delta Avengers militant group, Ndiyu said that what the South-South region contributes to the nation’s economy was not commensurate with the level of development in the region.
“The South-South region needs to feel the impact of the federal government. The zone needs the presence of the federal government. As much as I condemn the incessant attacks on oil facilities by militants, I think the region has suffered neglect from government especially when you consider that the region is the mainstay of the nation's economy.
"I advise Federal Government to adopt the approach of former President Ya'Adua by negotiating with the militants because military action may not solve the problem”
