The Former President of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo on Friday enjoined Nigerians to neglect the present clamor for the secession of the the area formally known and addressed as the Eastern Nigeria
He further stressed that the ideology was conceived in error. The former President spelled out this at a public discussion on Biafra, which was organized by Nextier Advisory in Abuja on Friday.
In his words, “Biafra as a secession issue is dead, and nobody should follow that way. I see it as a platform rather than a cause."
Obasanjo while saying that he was been cautious of getting into a debate on the "Biafra secession issue" said, "The agitation was born in error and ignorance." According to Obasanjo, the secession issue has been commercialised, as some people now use the course to extort money from gullible people. The former President cited the issuance of Biafra passport, "which takes one nowhere", as an example of some people making industry out of the agitation.
