Former President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo, has said the alleged discriminatory action of the Federal Government against the Indigenous People of Biafra by describing members of the group as terrorists is nothing short of fanning the embers of ethnicity, division and hate in the body polity of the country.
Nwodo, who spoke on the theme, Whither Nigeria: Restructuring, Secession or Status Quo, noted that the self-determination groups, including IPOB, MASSOB, YELICOM, Arewa Youths, Yoruba Nation secessionist groups, Niger Delta and that of Middle Belt, reveal frustration and dissatisfaction of the youths with the economic and political state of the country. “It is their way of projecting their frustration on the present state of affairs in our country.
He said the various groups were dramatising the inadequacy of the nation’s current political structure and the urgent need for change. According to the Igbo leader, the constitution has as its centrepiece, the distribution of national revenue and national offices, using states and local governments as units for division. He added that the constitution constructed a federation in name, but a unitary government in practice, following the pattern enunciated in 1966 from inception of military administration in the country.
