Three Igbo socio-cultural associations yesterday faulted former President Olusegun Obasanjo appeal on Ndigbo to accept Nigeria as their country since, “there was enough bread for everybody,” saying that Obasanjo was one of the major ailments plaguing the country.
They said that the only solution to the nation’s problems was immediate restructuring of the country into six regions.
Obasanjo had Thursday asked Nigerians to beg Ndigbo to come back to the fold and stop agitations for a separate Republic of Biafra.
However, the Eastern Consultative Assembly, ECA; Igbo Youth Forum, IYM; and the Igbo Women Assembly, IWA, also, accused of Obasanjo of dancing around the issues causing disunity in the country as, according to them, he (Obasanjo) had once advised President Muhammadu Buhari to ignore the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, calling them miscreants and fraudsters.
According to them, it was on the strength of the said advice to Buhari that armed security agencies that mowed down innocent Igbo youths who were praying at a secondary school in Aba, Abia State, last year.
