Joe Igbokwe opposes Biafra, demands additional South-East state
Special Adviser on Drainage and Water Resources to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Joe Igbokwe has opposed Biafra agitation. He said separation is not the answer.
He however urged the Federal Government to create one more state in the South-East.
Igbokwe in a chat with BBC News Pidgin, noted his reason to be that the Igbos have married and made friends with people from across Nigeria.
“Some have mothers that are Igbos, and fathers Hausa. There have been inter-ethnic relationships for years.
“The only thing I want the federal government to do is the creation of additional state in the South-East. I have been advocating this.
“We will have 6 governors, more Senators, House of Representatives members, State of Assembly, state capital, university, take-off funds, more local governments.
“So many things will come up. 12,000 jobs will be created immediately as there will be instant development in the zone”, Igbokwe said.
not just one but may be four or five cuz of the ways in which those northerners supress the South cuz of there populations and also they have more states than the south………
