Biafra Agitation: Employ The Federal Character- APC Chieftain

Rev Simeon Nwaulu, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has said that a strict adherence to the principles of federal character can quell the storm stirred by the ongoing Biafra agitation.

Nwaulu, the Na­tional Coordinator of Ro­chas Fan Club,  urged the fed­eral government to strictly adhere to the tenets of the federal character, as a means to restore peace to the federation.

He proffered the solution on Wednesday,November 25, at a press conference in Owerri, Imo state.

There in Owerri, Nwaulu noted that margin­alisation has become one of the burning issues in the country that needs to be ad­dressed for peace to reign.

Therefore, he stressed that a revisit of the federal character will be a panacea for the agitation of Biafra.

He said: “There is no doubt that of all the six geo-political zones of Nigeria, the Southeast is the most marginalised in everything.”

The APC henchman, noted that the for­mer vice president, Dr Alex Ekwueme, and few others spearheaded the formation of Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) in 1998,“but shockingly, he was denied the presiden­tial ticket of the party in 1999, because he was from the South-East zone. Owelle Rochas Okorocha was de­nied twice the presidential ticket in 2003 and 2007 be­cause he was from the South East.

“The resurgence of pro- Biafra agitators is due to the marginalisation of the people of South-East and the Federal Government has to urgently address this anom­aly if there is to be progress in the country,” Nwaulu opined.

Meanwhile, a popular prophet in Imo state has prophesied that Nigeria will be drenched in blood if the federal government refuses to release the chief agitator for Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi.
