You Can't Be More Biafran Than Ojukwu & Joe Effiong, Who gave up The Struggle and shouted one Nigerians!!!- Chief Ben Apugo

Chief Ben Apugo was a member of the Board of
Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), the former ruling party at the centre.
In this interview, Apugo speaks on why he,
alongside Senate President Bukola Saraki, former
Governor Nyako of Adamawa State, and Senator
Rabiu Kwankwaso, quit the PDP. He also speaks on
the fate of the APC in the South-East and the pro-
Biafra quest by some Igbo elements, among other
issues.
Pro-Biafra agitators have been protesting across
the South-East and some parts of the South-
South. Are you in support of their agitation?
The civil war ended a long ago time and we are
all Nigerians. No reasonable human being should
come out today to talk about Biafra. Our people
have to speak up and make our children
understand the situation of things. Those things
they should be protesting for are employment,
roads, water, airports and other amenities that
are lacking in the zone. If they are agitating for
these things, they should not block roads; they
should talk to the government of the states in
the South-East, not the Federal Government.
These people you are talking about are small
boys whose mothers were not even born during
the civil war. So, what I am saying is that the
governors of the South-East should enlighten the
youths and make them know that there is
nothing like Biafra today. People should not be
using Biafra as a tool for causing confusion and
defrauding uninformed people.
The Federal Government should not be looking
at the South-East, especially Umuahia, since
they said their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, is from
here, as not supporting Buhari. Buhari did not
create any problem in the South-East. All the
while, former President Goodluck Jonathan was
there, they should have gone to demonstrate
about Biafra. Buhari will tackle all the problems
we are facing now, our former governors did not
perform, and they did not create avenues for
employment, no empowerment. My advice to our
children is that they should forget about hoping
against hope.
We have cancelled Biafra. Let them look for the
betterment of this country and themselves. They
should avoid this protest because it will not yield
any fruit. Their leaders will not fight more than
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and Joe
Effiong, who despite their efforts, Biafra failed at
the end.
