Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, has said what the Igbo ethnic group wants is “justice, equity and fairness,” not Biafra.
Uzodinma said this while delivering his opening address at the first South-East security meeting held on Sunday, April 11, 2021, in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
The meeting was attended by his counterparts from the other states in the South-East as well as security chiefs and other stakeholders in the region.
The Governor seized the opportunity to debunk the theories concerning the recent attacks on the Owerri Custodial Centre and the state Police Command by gunmen.
He said, “Following Monday’s attacks in Owerri and the preceding ones in various parts of the South-East, many people have come up with varying degrees of theories concerning the motive of the attackers and its consequences on our people. The most ridiculous of these theories is the one that posits that Igbo no longer want to be part of Nigeria hence their belligerence and predilection for war and violence.
