Rochas supporters back Biafra agitation … Give three conditions to FG

Sequel to the quit order by Arewa group to Ndigbo to leave the Northern part of Nigeria following renewed agitation for Biafra by the Nnandi Kanu led Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), National Coordinator of Rochas Fans Club, Rev. (Dr.) Simeon Nwulu has given tacit support to the agitation unless some fresh conditions are met.

Rev. Nwulu who is General Overseer of Salvation Time Mission International, Aba in Abia State, while interacting with journalists at the Church Cathedral auditorium recently, said the only acceptable condition to douse the Biafra agitation will be predicated upon the creation of additional States in the South-East, restructuring of Nigeria and adoption of the 2014 national CONFAB resolutions.

He re-affirmed the demand for secession of Biafran republic as sacrosanct pending the fulfillment of aforementioned conditions and bemoaned the continued enslavement, gross marginalization and indiscriminate killing of Ndi-Igbo in the North.

The crusader of social justice lamented that despite the numerous intellectuals and technocrats from the South-East who have contributed their quotas towards the socio-economic and political advancement of Nigeria, yet the ethnic nationality is not only  deprived the opportunity to occupy any vantage position but relegated to second class citizenship.

Speaking on the controversial quit notice of the Arewa Youths, the national coordinator of Rochas Fans Club stated that it is another eye opener to Igbo entrepreneurs to start diverting their investments to their motherland (South-East), urging them to take advantage of Governor Rochas Okorocha’s conducive business environment in Imo State alongside other sister Governors in the area and channel down their investment for economic advancement of the geo-political zone.
