Former Imo State
Governor and Senator Representing Imo West District, Rochas Okorocha, has warned
Igbos over attempting to break up from Nigeria.
There have been
increased agitations in the Southern region of Nigeria with groups such as the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the Movement for the Actualisation of
Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, working towards the disintegration of
Nigeria.
Also, the Yorubas have
now started pushing for the creation of Oduduwa Republic, increasing secession
calls too .
But Okorocha has now
warned that the Igbos would be the worst hit if Nigeria breaks up, saying the
South-East should push towards fixing the country and not its disintegration.
“It is only an Igbo
man that goes to a place and remains put in that place, buys a land and builds
a house for his family without feeling insecure. The Igbos will lose more if
Nigeria divides." Okorocha said to some women groups in Abuja over the weekend.
“Most Nigerian leaders
who were successful had one thing or the other to do with the Igbos. It is
either they married Igbo women or had some links with them. I can call names
like former President, (Olusegun) Obasanjo; former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar,
Buba Marwa, just to name a few”.
