Mbaka said he would only openly support the agitation only if those behind it come out to lead the struggle
He warned that the protests are capable of snowballing or rather developing into a huge crisis of the scale associated with Boko Haram if not managed now.
These was made during the launch of his new products, Rapha Groundnut oil, Rapha Soya Oil and Rapha Carbonated Drinks, produced by his company, Aqua Rapha Investments Limited. He is chairman of the company.
Speaking, he stood against those still fueling the pro- Biafra protests, saying it was capable of scaring away investors from the region.
He had, earlier in the week, incurred the wrath of Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) when he described the protests as ‘evil’.
His words: “If this nation collapses, it is on us all. If things go well, it is for our own good. I want you to know that if there is any of you here that is oppressed, we are being oppressed too. What I am begging is that things should be done in the right way. Because, if we continue like this, all the visions the governors of Igboland have, vision for employment and economic diversification, will be frustrated.
“No investor can come into a city filled with crises. So, wherever you are, saying, ‘let them (the protesters) move on’, the only way I can support it is when you join them. So, please, I am begging all of us, let us join hands and develop our place, Igboland.” he saidHe also assured
Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi who was at the launch that his company would always support his administration.
