space

his sponsors
Mohammed Abdulrahman, a member of the National Executive
Council of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), has revealed those allegedly behind
Nnamdi Kanu’s agitation for Biafra. In an interview with Punch, the Arewa
chieftain claims the ongoing agitation for a sovereign Biafran state is being
sponsored by south-east political elites. According to Abdulrahman, their plan
is to capture the presidency for Igbos in 2019 by blackmailing the rest of the
nation.

“To my mind, the people agitating for independence or
break-up of the country are illiterates and are misinformed. “They don’t
understand the realities of the time. It is my conviction that Nnamdi Kanu is
being sponsored by some irresponsible political elites. They are the ones
egging him on. “But to what end? “Let me tell you, the Igbo are only trying to
be relevant; they are only trying to get back into Nigeria’s mainstream
political space.
There is nothing more to that. Among such efforts to get back into
the mainstream is to have the presidency. “What I see that Nnamdi Kanu and his
Igbo ilk are doing is to blackmail Nigeria into submitting the presidency to
them. “The question I will ask them is: Can you have this presidency by
blackmail? You need to examine their logic very well and you can discern their
real motive concerning this issue. “At a point, the Igbo said they wanted the
presidency and now they are saying they don’t want to be part of Nigeria.
“How
can they want or have the presidency when they don’t want to be part of the
country? They want one of their own to be president they call a zoo? Is that
reasonable? Or, does that show sincerity? “I think the way they have been going
about their agitation is irresponsible.
“Their tactics are wrong and crude. I think Igbo hooligans
are behind current agitation for an independent state of Biafra.
