Ojukwu’s spirit behind renewed Biafran protests – APGA

Hehehe....An All Progressives Grand Alliance stalwart and former Commissioner for Housing in Imo State, Chief Chris Uche, on Thursday revealed that the current pro-Biafra agitation was spurred by the spirit of the late Leader of the defunct Republic of Biafra, Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu.
Speaking at the third memorial anniversary of Ojukwu, Uche said Biafra would be declared a sovereign state without the shedding of blood.

Uche said those who lost their lives in the cause of Biafran struggle would never be forgotten.
According to Uche, the time for the realisation of Biafra was closer than ever.

He said, “Ojukwu gave us a template. He is still alive in our minds. Chief Uwazuruike’s yearly remembrance ceremony in his honour is bringing the time closer for the realisation of Biafra. We shall keep the flag flying and we shall achieve it without shooting of gun.”
Also speaking at the event, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, leader of MASSOB said the essence of the anniversary of Ojukwu was to reawaken the consciousness of Biafra among the Igbo people.
Uwazuruike further called for the unconditional release of Radio Biafra Director, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu.
He however expressed regrets over the fact that the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, which recently emerged, was using threats of violence to achieve its aim.
“IPOB believes that since MASSOB has not achieved Biafra through non-violent methods for 16 years, they will achieve it through violence. They threatened fire and castigated some Igbo leaders,” Uwazuruike said.
