A former governor of Abia State, Theodore Orji, on Sunday urged President Muhammadu Buhari to dialogue with the leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in order to avoid further crisis in the country.

Orji, who stated this in a chat with journalists as part of activities marking his 70th birthday celebration, said dialogue with IPOB and other dissident voices in the South-East remained one of the best ways to achieve peace in the region.

He added that the people of South-East extraction who had been crying of marginalisation in the last few years deserved a listening ear rather than the use of force.

The ex-governor said: “If there are dissident voices, the president should call them and discuss with them.

“He should find out the cause of their agitation and work out ways to address their grievances.

“He should see how he can bring them in and fully integrate them into the system.

“That is what will solve the problem of the country. Call the dissident voices to a conference.

“There is nothing bad in discussing with the IPOB. If you don’t discuss with them, they will continue to give you trouble.

“We can’t be happy when other regions have six states and we have five. It shows that we are marginalised and cheated. That is what is causing the agitation in the region.

“Some groups are agitating that the zone should be a country on its own. Others are demanding restructuring because it is glaring that the South-East is being marginalised.

“If you treat me fairly like you treat other persons and I’m convinced that you are sincere, I will not complain. It is when I look around me and I see that I am being marginalised and treated like a second-class citizen that would make people to be agitating.”

No dialogue with terrorists

Until the FG can dialogue with Boko Haram, only then will IPOB be considered

Nice one from Orji but will the dullard in thief heed to this advice?

He should provide nnamdi kanu or else they will pay for it.... This is just the beginning

Dialogue with these flat headed criminals? This useless IPOB apologist is lucky he is in a country where the institutions don't work properly..by now he should be behind bars for allowing the albino hunchback p0rn addict escape

Nnamdi Kanu is just a front for Igbo leaders to blackmail Nigerians for presidency.. the real sponsors are gradually revealing themselves.

You don't contribute anything to government coffers but have an entitlement mentality that you must be gifted presidency. As what na??

Dialogue fire!

You are even poorly informed.

Was it not dialogue that made the FG not put down these your Boko brothers, fathers and uncles but rehabilitate them and give them cloths to go home?

Nigeria is a terrible country..where people are treated differently...and that's what the senator was saying.

You can't expect people you cheat to love you.

Zoo should dialogue with the Illiterate Peoples of Biafra (Igbos)?

Exactly the same way you northerners used Boko group to blackmail Nigeria.

Why is it that you guys like to have the monopoly of killing people?

You hate it if others try to emulate you.

The leader of IPOB that ran away inside car boots with goats, that couldn't come for his parents burial?

but the zoo is doing so with your lovely Boko group.

If it is done with any other group except your northern group it becomes a sin.

Why do you guys like to cheat other people?

You mean Atiku, your messiah in 2019.. he is the Northerner, I'm not.

Let Kanu Nnamdi come back to his father's land, we want to see his face

When they are asked specific question to draw an intelligent discourse they go into mischief, as they are empty and dubious.

You hide your own in Maiduguri and looking to kill the other because he is not from your tribe.

Kwantinue...Karma will take control with time.

Federal Government dialogued with Niger Delta militants

Federal Government government dialogued with Boko haram over Chibok

Federal government offered killer herdsmen Ruga

IPOB did not do 1% of what these other armed groups did. The only reason tye federal government has not yet dialogued with IPOB is because IPOB is not yet armed.

If IPOB takes up armes tomorrow and starts killing people across the country, you will see how fast the federal government will call the to talk.

Its unfortunate that the only language the federal government understands is that of violence. But I still commend IPOB for not taking up arms despite being shot, brutalised and killed. They resisted all provocation

Omit werey

But huncle.. I'm not a Northerner now, so how could I have answered your question?

You should consider visiting a psychiatric home really soon.

When you asked he question that was replied, were you a northerner?

I don't think IPOB is ready to dialogue with him if it will not lead to a timetable for pulling out of the country.

It was arms that picked them up in oyigbo right? They didnt pick up arms

Dialogue or not
Is too late

Is already too late for that.




The ZOO must go down wether baboons and monkeys like it.

More pains to muslimi skulls. Insha Allah!
