Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State has warned against another Civil War.

He said; “I don’t believe in Biafra through the barrels of the gun because I saw a little bit of the Civil War and I don’t want that kind of thing and I don’t see the prospects of that venture and I don’t want anything that will be suicidal.”

“As far as we are concerned in Abia, there is nothing like IPOB. It is difficult to proscribe an ideology.”

“If Biafra is a metaphor for agitation against injustice in any way, then there is Biafra in the heart of every Nigerian.”

“Why are we not taking steps to build bridges? Rather we are emphasizing things that divide us – ethnicity, religion – all those things that divide us.”
