Those agitating for Biafra nation are miscreants & should be ignored - Obasanjo
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has described those agitating for the
creation of Biafra state as miscreants. Obasanjo said this in an
interview with Sahara reporters
"This is a fake agitation. You people make a mountain out of a molehill.
These are boys who want to take people unaware and get money out of
them in the name of Biafra. These are the people you should ignore, I
don’t talk about Biafra. (Philip) Effiong came and said Biafra ceased to
exist and since that day, Biafra has ceased to exist. We absorbed those
we should absorb both into the civil service and into the military.
Even those we didn’t absorb, who we initially
regarded as being retired without benefits, later on we even gave them
their benefits. Abandoned houses were returned. Within 10 years of the
end of our Civil War, an Igbo man became the vice-president of our
country. It took the Americans 100 years before they got to that point.
So, what are you talking about? They have held all the ministerial
positions existing in this country. We have Igbo as the Governor of
Central Bank, Igbo has headed many parastatals in this country. That’s
why these miscreants should be ignored. They want to get money and they
go round and say, ‘We are still being victimised. We are still being
treated badly in Nigeria,’ so that they can take money from people.”he
