The Senate Deputy President, Ike Ekweremadu has favored the restructuring of Nigeria over the agitation for the republic of Biafra.

According to him, the Ndigbo should not to allow themselves to be provoked into any armed struggle.

“The minimum Ndigbo demand of Nigeria is a restructuring of the federation so that every component part of it can substantially harness its resources, cut its coat according to its cloth, and develop at its own speed.

“Instructively, the ill-fated Aburi Accord was about restructuring, even if it is not exactly as we want it today.

“But it was breached and discarded, plunging the nation into an avoidable fratricidal war. Yet, 50 years after, the need and call for restructuring and return to a true federal state have only persisted.

“Although the call initially fell on deaf ears, it is heartwarming that the right quarters are beginning to listen and the call is gathering traction daily, even from hitherto improbable quarters, “ he said.

He commended Ndigbo for eschewing violence in their struggle for a better deal within the Nigerian commonwealth.

“No matter the intimidation, harassment, and marginalisation of our people, we must never be provoked into an armed struggle. It is an ill wind that blows no one any good.

“But we must consistently continue to say a loud, ‘No!, until we get to the promised land of an equitable and just society. Let no man be tired and let no woman give up. The night may be long, but the day will surely break”, he said.

He urged the Federal Government to seek and sustain peace in all parts of the country through equity, justice, and fairness as “a man that is unjustly treated will never be interested in peace”.

“The rights of Ndigbo to peaceful and democratic engagements must be respected. Those who try to muffle and subdue democratic engagements by citizens are only playing into the hands of anarchists.

“Importantly, the marginalisation meted out to Ndigbo in appointments, especially in the commanding heights of the security sector is unacceptable; and must be redressed”.

Liepods, biafra chest beaters. ipob internet warriors over to you. Come and crucify one of your own. Yeye liepods

I support restructuring! This nonsense should have gone with the military in 1999.

Flat head liepods from portor portor Republic

so what did you expect from Nigeria deputy senate President? inwardly he support Biafra i can even swear with my life. And if you think he will open up publicly omoh u are on a long thing.

Of course, he publicly swore an oath to protect Nigeria so he is not expected to side any Biafra agitation(publicly), siding restructuring in a United Nigeria is the best he could do and the cry for it cuts across several quarters.
Also, he is positioning himself to becoming Premier of SEastern region following restructuring.

Bia, who your support Epp?

Ekweremadu is a coward.

come 2019,we would tell these selfish igbo leaders who we support with our votes.

Take rope tie the goat and tie the goat with the rope.

All na the same


Ask chinua Achebe

Biafra agitators also support restructuring, it is the failure to restructure that has made the agitation linger

Ekweremadu we ewedu muslims thank you for not supporting Biafra, you have reduce the level of hypertensive tarchycardia in our populace and saved us from multiplying our IDP camps in ogbomosho and oshogbo by 200 times which would have happened if Biafra comes. Allah bless you.

To be Honest EKWEREMADU never said he supported Restructuring over Biafra.

Ekeremadu is beneficiary..

I can assure you that 70% of igbos want a restructure...

America could have broken into pieces... but the chose to restructure and are better off... with over 300m population..

Ussr decided to break into bits... how are they fairing today?...

China has a strong population and are better off with it.

We only just need to get true federalism and watch everyother things fall into shape..

We need each other more than we need ourselves

The buying power lies with a strong population, the moment we loose, we virtually have nothing to give the world or exchange for whatever they have.

True federalism? yes
Restructuring ?no
Biafra? no

No. He is a hero, he doesn't think like a layman like you.

Junk. He said the minimum ndi-igbo demand of Nigeria is a restructuring of the federation. What is our maximum demand? Biafra if i must say it.
The deputy senate president only advised the Igbo nation against armed struggle and nothing else against Biafra was said from what I read.

then move a motion for restructuring in the house as a deputy SP.

crazysaint:

so what did you expect from Nigeria deputy senate President? inwardly he support Biafra i can even swear with my life. And if you think he will open up publicly omoh u are on a long thing.

then he is a coward. if an igbo man in his position can not champion the course of Biafra and you expect a yoruba man to declare Biafra for you is that not madness?

schoolboij:

then why are you people blaming buhari and yoruba for not letting you go? a deputy senate President can not openly support Biafra and you blame buhari and yoruba for holding you down.

Better ask the goat

I dont take this Nigerian jews serious.


What they could have easily achieved when they wield so much power under GEJ.The biafrans are more or less like The one ruling the country then.

GEJ just used and dumped those guys.

schoolboij:

....that is why I believe those people that always say they are persecutorily deluded.

schoolboij:

he said they will consistently continue to say a loud NO.
But he never think of vacating his seat,
So that we can take him serious.
