A video Footage has emerged online of late Biafra warlord, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, advising people of the South East against engaging in another agitation for Biafra.
In the video which has gone viral, Ojukwu, who had on May 30, 1967 declared Eastern Nigeria a sovereign state could be heard telling a foreign journalist that another secession was unnecessary.
The late Ojukwu could be heard in the video saying, ”I led the first one and I can say I led ‘proudly’ the first one but I don’t think a second one is necessary.
“We should have learnt from the first one, otherwise, they would all have been in vain.”
This is coming at a time when the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, had ordered people of the South Eat to sit-at-home as part of events to mark the 50th declaration of Biafra.
Following the directive by the pro-Biafra groups, Igbos in the region and in diaspora complied with the order as economic activities were paralysed for the whole of Tuesday.
