THE Igbo will remain in Nigeria if there is justice and equity but Biafra will become inevitable when these are absent, former Anambra Governor Chukwuemeka Ezeife has said.
He stated this in a chat with Saturday Sun. The former governor said wherever Igbos are they make their home and have contributed more than any other tribe to the Nigerian project.
Asked to comment on Ohanaeze's position on secession and restructuring, the former Anambra governor said: ''We have a statement in Igbo, ‘life without honour is not worth living’. That’s why Igbo slaves more than any other slaves in the world before, committed suicide and some jumped into the ocean.
Biafra may become inevitable, when it comes to a stage that we live a life without honour in Nigeria. What is going on under Buhari is life without honour for the Southeast people. But southeast people have the foresight of knowing the condition they found themselves.
Based on Buhari’s marginalisation, it may be possible for Nigerians to rethink. Presently, in Lagos, they held a meeting where the Yoruba and Igbo declared themselves as one, and then South-south joined, and hopefully, the Middle Belt will join them. Anybody who cannot think and say let Nigeria break up, even long before now, remember the coup makers, had excised the core North from Nigeria.
We will live in Nigeria if it is restructured and organised, with justice and equity. That is what every Nigerian group wants. We have large population, large economy, the market is there. You can’t be a super power in the world without being a large population. You see Switzerland and all those other small countries, they are very rich, but they cannot be super powers. I’m in line with the Igbo position of restructuring, with justice and equity prevailing than to rush into small space called Biafra.''
