It is not an offence to say am Biafran-Iwuanyanwu

Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, a business magnate and politician has stated that all Igbos are Biafrans and they can never be ashamed of their identity.

Speaking as a special guest of honour at a National Unity summit organised by Arewa Ambassadors Congress of Nigeria in partnership with Youth Assembly of Nigeria on Wednesday, he said Igbos are the biggest shareholders of Nigeria.

He said the Muhammadu Buhari government was wrong to have arrested Biafra agitator Nnamdi Kanu because he “only expressed his view.”

“No arm was found in his possession. We are Biafrans and we are not ashamed to say it. Igbo have invested more in Nigeria than Arewa and Oduduwa. We want to be one Nigeria in fairness.”

“Biafra is not about secession. It is a name of a particular people in Nigeria from the South East. Therefore, it is not an offense to say that I am a Biafran. There was no victor, no vanquished after the civil war. I am impressed with Yakubu Gowon because he implemented all the agreements reached at the end of the Civil War. Igbo were not deprived at the end of the civil war, “Iwuanyanwu added.

He, therefore, challenged the Nigerian youths to work for the growth of the country and shun tribal and religious sentiments.
