…Says elections must hold in Igbo land
Concerned Igbo elders, jointly led by erstwhile Anambra State governor, Chukwuemeka Ezeife, and a former Chairman of the Police Service Commission, Chief Simon Okeke, have advised youths in the Southeast zone agitating for Biafra nation to sheathe their sword.
They stated this on Tuesday, in Abuja at a briefing where they insisted that the agitators can’t win the war against perceived injustice through violence.
The Igbo elders said the threats of violence in the Southeast states aimed at derailing the February 25 election in the zone must be stopped at all costs.
