Ex-Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State has revealed why Igbo leaders are afraid.

“If you look at it, it is only the locals in the South-East that are giving Nnamdi Kanu a lot of support on the surface, and those who are outside the country. Most of those who are in Nigeria, today, especially millions of Igbo, my friends who are here in the North, I can assure you, none of them will ever support anything called division.”

“When I was governor of Kano State, I worked very hard to promote the unity of the country. Now, if you go to Kano, there is a particular layout – ‘new Enugu’, which is not far away from the airport – it is more beautiful than any part of Enugu State. They are living happily and most of them are doing good businesses.”

“We love them in Kano as they are very hard working people. The South-East leaders should come out to condemn the agitation by these Igbo young men for Biafra; maybe because they are afraid of the young men or because of possible attacks, they kept quiet. To keep quiet will not help anybody and that’s not the way to go. The way to go is for the elders to come out and say the right thing at the right time.”
