Mr Ini Ememobong, a lawyer is the Publicity Secretary, Akwa Ibom State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said if the southerners want to leave Nigeria they should quitely be allowed to go.
He likened the Nigerian federation to a marriage which he says any of the parties to the marriage reserves the right to go.
He stated while speaking to the Daily Sun. Asked if the South-Eastern zone has been agitating for independence, he said; ''It is just like marriage, there is no need forcing somebody to stay in a marriage if the person considers it unproductive. And the marriage act says that a divorce can be granted, separation can be given, if the petition alleges that the other party has behaved in a way that makes it impossible for both of them to remain in the marriage. If the South-Easterners have ample evidence that they have not been treated fine in this marriage, excuse them!''
Continuing, he questioned the rationale behind forcing the Igbos to stay since they were no longer interested in remaining in Nigeria.
He said: '' I don’t even know why you should be forcing someone to stay. The Great Britain feels:’ Look! We are not too sure of what is happening here, we are taking too much of the pressures from Europe, can you excuse us?’ That doesn’t make them enemies. Ireland said let’s conduct a referendum. Let’s conduct a referendum, if the South- Easterners feel that they are not treated well, let them go! You see, my fear is that with this forced marriage, forced divorce would come someday when that issue of interest has been depleted. Anybody that feels uncomfortable in the union called Nigeria should be excused. Let the zone go and take its deserved rest.
