Biafra: Kanu's call for referendum should te treated as a declaration of war - Okorocha spits fire
Okorocha who is a stem opposed of the Secession moves by Biafra agitators has claimed that does demanding for referendum are simply demanding for war.
Okorocha who spoke at the State House in Abuja said Kanu does not represent or speak for the Igbo, describing him as a young man seeking relevance.“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.
“He should be treated as a young man agitating and seeking for relevance, these are two
different issues. And he can ride on the back of supposed Igbo marginalization which has been
said is not right, and ride on that sentiments and push his agenda but that does not mean that the entire Igbos are speaking with him. “The question is does Nnamdi Kanu have the capacity to lead Igbo 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 dramatised the issue just to make a big deal out of it and that has been the big challenge.“Like the gentleman that spoke for the
Arewa youths, and these are not more than 17 young men speaking for millions of Arewa youths
and it doesn’t make sense because if you ask any Arewa youth now if he is part of this he will tell you no..was attacked by the IPOB boys when I was delivering my lecture.They walked up to me and they were shouting and I said calm down and the young man has never visited Nigeria. So
it is our duty to call our younger ones to order but I want to assure Nigerians that they should not see that as a break but agitation given what they perceived that the South East has been neglected overtime politically, economically, socially and all that.“Their roads are impassable, you cannot pass Port Harcourt road, Enugu road, Aba Road, Bayelsa road and all the roads. You can hardly see federal government presence in the South East, all the things you see are self-made things.Even the Onitshe bridge has been a theoretical talk, fabrications which does not represent reality. “So, he speaks his own and joins it to our issues and it now looks like a nationwide thing.That is not the issue. “We have called for unity and have agreed that we
will remain united. Very soon, some of us have taken it upon ourselves to reach out to
this young men talk to them. We must understand that our young men are frustrated, if they are as comfortable as we are, they will not be able to say those.
