A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, Chief Chyna Iwuanyanwu has explained
why Igbos would not give up on their quest
for the rebirth of the Republic of Biafra.
Iwuanyanwu said the current government had
only worsened the case by totally expunging
Igbos from the scheme of things in Nigeria.
He told Daily Sun that, "If any government in
Nigeria has aggravated the Pro-Biafra agitation, it is this government, the government came in and was obviously hostile to the South-East, you can see a whole kitchen cabinet, nobody from the South-East, the whole architecture of security, Police, Army, Navy, nobody from the South- East, so the people are feeling alienated and marginalized, particularly the younger generation.
"We the older generation is used to it since
during the war till now but the younger
generation do not see what they did wrong in
the country called Nigeria that they are being
treated like this.
"The government did not give them a sense of
belonging, so they developed a sense of 'Let
us go,' that is what IPOB is all about. It is a
reaction to feeling of injustice and unless the
government sees it like that and responds to
the situation, it will only be aggravated."
