So i will stand now and Kanu will tell me stand up let’s go to war? Okorocha asks
Imo Governor and Chairman of the Progressives Governors Forum, Rochas Okorocha, said the agitations by youths in the South-East was a result of the neglect of the zone.
He however, said the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPoB, Nnamdi Kanu, was only seeking relevance for himself and cashing in on the alleged neglect of the zone.
Okorocha who spoke to State House correspondent in Abuja on the recent secessionist agitation and the ultimatum to Igbo to vacate the 19 states of the North before October 1, said it had been agreed that Nigeria would remain a united and indissoluble country.
“But we must never take this unity of Nigeria for granted. We are better off a bigger nation, we are better off as one nation. We are going through problems but these problems do not mean they cannot be surmounted.”
On whether the Acting President would involve Nnamdi Kanu in the consultative meeting on the unity of the country, he said if there was need for that, Kanu would be involved.
“Nnamdi Kanu, a young man seeking relevance, agitating for whatever he believes in, what he stands for must be treated separately from the entire Igbo nation. The question is does Nnamdi Kanu has the capacity to lead Igbos to war? Or lead me and the governors to war?
“So i will stand now and Nnamdi Kanu will tell me stand up let’s go to war? So sometimes we over dramatise issue just to make a big deal out of it and that has been the big challenge,’’ he said.
