Biafra: Agitation, a move to frustrate Buhari’s fight against corruption —Unongo

FORMER Minister of Power and Steel in the Second Republic, Wartaregh Paul Unongo, has stated that the violent agitation of the Republic of Biafra by some youths of Igbo extraction  is a move to frustrate the war against corruption by President
Muhammad Buhari.

The former minister, who was speaking to newsmen in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, at the weekend, stated that the change mantra was what beneficiaries of the old system was resisting  and opposing and were actively organising the unsuspecting youths.

Unongo noted that the sponsors  of the Biafra agitators wanted the Buhari-led administration to continue with the manner their kith and kins dominated the administration of Goodluck Jonathan, which he alleged,  brought the nation to jer knees as being revealed in several billions of naira were looted, according t media reports.

He queried  the manner of marginalisation the Igbos were complaining about in the present administration when, according to him, ‘‘all the five South-Eastern states representing Igbo race ‘Biafra,’ are represented in Buhari’s cabinet in addition to other critical appointments in the public parastatals and boards, despite not voting for Buhari or APC in the last general election.’’
