Biafra was settled 45 years ago – ACF

The Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, has called on Biafra agitators to channel their resources to the unity of the country and other profitable ventures instead of their protests.

The Forum lamented over the issue of Biafra, which it said had been resolved 45 years ago after the civil war and ‘there is no need to revive it now.”

The Deputy Chairman of the Forum, Alhaji Liman Musa Kwande, speaking during the National Executive Council, NEC, decried the spate of kidnapping in the parts of the country and called on security agencies to be proactive in resolving the challenges.

According to Kwande, “ACF once again call upon the Igbo youth and indeed other Nigerians to channel their energy, resources, talent and time into useful ventures that will promote unity and development rather than allow themselves to be used for such futile agitation.

“It is sad and unfortunate that it is now 45 years the issue of Biafra was settled after the civil war in 1970 and some elements are now busy instigating the innocent youth in the south eastern states to an irresponsible protest, which in most cases have degenerated into violence with serious consequences on the lives and property of innocent and law abiding Nigerians.”

The Deputy Chairman, while calling on Biafra agitators to stay action and give peace a chance, as no meaningful development could be achieved in the country in the atmosphere of conflicts and destruction, said “Nigerians are now united in a democratic system of governance.”

He, however, commended the efforts of some governors, traditional rulers and elder statesmen both from the North and South for their interventions to douse the tension created by the unwanted protests.
