The Senator representing the Kaduna Central Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Mallam Shehu Sani, has alleged that agitators for the realisation of Biafra, under the aegis of the Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra, are forces working for former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Speaking in Kaduna on Monday, Sani said the plot was to destabilise President Muhammadu Buhari-led government.
According to Sani, Biafra agitators were aggrieved that the former President they considered their own lost the 2015 presidential election and conceded defeat.
Sani insisted that the agitation was not the true reflection of the Igbo or the South-East people and that the future of the people of that zone was better guaranteed within a united Nigeria.
“The Igbos have made tremendous progress since after the civil war. They have recorded successes as businessmen, as entrepreneurs, as academics and as politicians.
“As long as we will realise the change agenda, entrench good governance and run an all-inclusive government, the Biafran agitation will naturally fizzle out.
“Nigerians must be patient enough with the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration,” Sani added.
