You Are Just Wasting Your Time – Governors Tell Biafra Agitators
Nigerian governors say those advocating for a separate country are wasting their time.
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is in the frontline of the struggle to carve out a country out of Nigeria.
But the governors appealed to citizens to embrace peace, saying they do not want the country to witness a hate war like Rwanda did.
In 1994, Hutu militias in Rwanda killed at least 800,000 Tutsi in a purge driven by hate. The incident is widely described as a genocide.
The governors made this appeal against the background of rising ethnic tension fuelled by secessionist agitations in the south-east and an eviction threat to the Igbo by Arewa youth groups.
Speaking with state house correspondents at the end of a meeting called by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo as part of consultations for peace, Abiola Ajimobi, Oyo state governor, who spoke on behalf of the governors, said the unity of Nigeria was sacrosanct.
“It has been unanimously agreed that the unity of this country is sacrosanct, it is non-negotiable and we have all agreed to work together to educate people,” he said.
“Any time you have agitation, usually there will be poverty, there will be unemployment, there will be hardship. So, we should address fundamentally these areas of poverty, unemployment and hardship.
“Nigerians are by nature a united people; nobody cares whether you are from the north, south or the east.
“There unity must be there and we cannot play with the unity of this country. The consensus has been that there must be unity.
“The message is for Nigerians to work more together and collaborate. We have more to gain when we are united. We cannot afford to break, and anybody is thinking of that is wasting his time and we will not allow it, not in this country. All of us are unanimous about that.
“To you the media look for what unites us and not sensational news. If we fight everybody will lose, have you ever seen a country that fought a civil war and remained the same? We don’t want to be another Rwanda and Somalia and all these places. The government is doing its best.”

This issues are getting degenerated day by day I believed there is the need to for the government to consult with the masses before drawing any conclusion because people In government are only about 5% of the masses of every region and their opinions can not over ride the wishes of the 95% we need caution to handle this matter not confrontation please

But if I may ask, has the 36 State Governors consulted their people before meeting with Vice President Osibanjo before coming out to say that Biafra will not work? Or they only went to perfect how they are going to get their out standing money from FG ,I know that is the more reason they went not Biafra. Osibanjo should read the hand writing on the wall and be wise

U think if there is war now is only d igbos will die? Or do u think igbos are afraid of war. D Biafra of today is not d Biafra of 1966. Remember that war is a business other international communities are stand by to sell arms to both side. So don’t u will win this time. Cos revenge will be d case even u will run to togo. That is if u survive it.
