Current trending news as the Govenor Aminu Bello Masari of Katsina
State has declared that Igbos will continue to remain in Nigeria as any
referendum for an independent state of Biafra will be an exercise in
futility.
Masari said this while
speaking to Vanguard. According to him, the Igbos only occupied fives
states in Nigeria and even if a referendum is conducted and they win,
Biafra will still not be allowed to go.
His words: “Agitations are bound to continue. Yesterday, it was Boko Haram trying to create an empire.
“Before then, we have the OPC (Oodua Peoples Congress). The Biafran
agitation is part of
the freedom of expression, and we don’t know whose turn it will be tomorrow to agitate.
the freedom of expression, and we don’t know whose turn it will be tomorrow to agitate.
“The average Igbo man, when you talk to
him about Biafra, he will laugh; Nigeria is bigger than Biafra, it is
bigger than Igbo, it is bigger than Hausa, it is bigger than Yoruba.
“A
marriage of over 100 years is no joke. We are human beings. Some people
want to be heard either politically or in some other ways.
“Those who are arguing, you have even among them some people who want to levy war on another platform.
“Referendum
on what? If we are to have a referendum on Biafra, it will fail; even
if it will win, it will only be in the South-East zone, which has only
five states against 31 other states.”
