"I have attended an event organized in
memory of Odumegwu Ojukwu in Owerri
under the Movement for the Actualisation of
the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) led by
Ralph Uwazuruike. For the past five years, I
have been going to Owerri.
"How best would I describe my relationship
with the Igbo? During my school days in Lagos
State University, Igbo people are my best
friends. I am not against the Igbo but I am
against any tribe that abuses the sensibilities of
my leaders.
"And this is what prompted the action but
thank God, it has come to an end. I still
maintain my relationship with my Igbo
brothers. All the ethnic groups in this country,
I want to appeal to them, let us come together
and build a nation of our own.
