Call Biafra Agitators To Order-SGF Tells Igbo Leaders
The Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal, has urged
leaders in the South East geo-political zone
to call Biafra agitators to order.
The SGF condemned the activities of the
groups, saying they threaten the peace of
the country.
Mr. Lawal spoke in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi
State capital, during a one-day working
visit to the state.
Describing the groups as misguided youth
who had been causing crisis in the
country, the SGF said they should not be
allowed to continue.
He said their actions create the impression
that Nigeria is not one.
The SGF advised leaders in the South East
to create employment opportunities for
the youth to keep them busy to stop them
from engaging in acts that threaten the
peace of the nation.
“Some misguided youths in the South East
zone are causing crisis in the country and
I charge all Igbo leaders to rise to the
occasion and call these misguided youths
to order.
“These misguided youths create the
impression that Nigeria is not one, and
insecure,” he said.
Responding, the state governor, David
Umahi, said he would ensure improved
welfare of the people and rapid
development of the state.
