Former Abia State Governor Orji Uzor Kalu has berated the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led by Mr. Nnamdi Kanu for engaging in a fruitless struggle.
Speaking on the side-line of the opening of the 2017 Annual Youth Summit organised by Junior Chamber International (JCI), Kalu said:
“The struggle for Biafra is not a serious one. Those agitating for the break-up of Nigeria should stop.
“Ndigbo should rather struggle for equity and justice so that they can feel safe to live and work in any part of the country.
“It is true that Ndigbo are marginalised but even our own people have at one time or the other also marginalised us.”
Kalu, who is a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, lent his support to the call for the implementation of the 2014 National Conference recommendation on restructuring the country.
“Nigeria has grown beyond the level where governors should continue to converge in Abuja every month to share Federal Allocation.” he said.
