IPOB Issue Started As A Child’s Play, Okorocha Says In A BBC Hausa Interview by Itopalucky(m): 3:47pm On Jun 11, 2021
Imo west senator and former Imo governor, Rochas Okorocha has described the agitation of secessionist group, Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) among others, as a challenge that started as a child’s play.

He said this when he granted a recent interview to BBC Hausa.

In the interview, the former Imo governor, speaking in Hausa language, lamented the spate of insecurity in the country, particularly the southeast region.

He berated those supporting calls for secession.

Okorocha emphasized that majority of the youths pushing the secession clamours are doing so because they want to be recognized. He identified frustration and the fact that there are no jobs for the youths, as the reason why the clamour for secession went this unbelievably loud.

He said the leaders in the various regions and across the country are afraid to speak against these secession agitators, for fear of being attacked.

While restating his commitment to the nonnegotiable unity of Nigeria by saying “for me, I stand for Nigeria and for the unity of Nigeria!”, he blamed the secession agitations on the careless talks of the leaders across the regions of the country who sometimes use tribalism as a means to gain cheap popularity within their regions.

“We have problem with our leaders all over the country. The careless talk they make, the children take it very serious. Leaders will say Igbos don’t like Hausa, Hausas don’t like yorubas, yorubas don’t like Igbos and so on.... these kids are hearing it and sometimes when politicians want to be voted they also tell their youth that this tribe doesn’t like that tribe so they can gain cheap popularity,” Okorocha said.

When you use AND, the accompanying verb should be plural verb
