Kalu said that given the huge investments by Ndigbo in different parts of the country, the people of southeast stood to suffer more than any other tribe, should Nigeria split.

“The struggle for Biafra is not a serious one. Those agitating for the break-up of Nigeria should stop. “Ndigbo should rather struggle for equity and justice so that they can feel safe to live and work in any part of the country.
