Igala Youths Council said Igala people couldn’t be part of “IPOB madness,” added that they belong to Nigeria nation.
In a statement released to newsmen in Lokoja, Kogi State capital yesterday, the council said the resolution was part of their decisions during “an emergency meeting” they held on Sunday, December 1.
This is coming at the heel of viral video by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) where the group outlined its plan of 40-state nation.
“The Igala nation demands good governance for all its people within the Nigerian nation, rather than being dragged into IPOB’s madness.
“It’s worth noting that IPOB’s actions have been a subject of controversy, with some viewing their agitation as a legitimate cry for self-determination, while others see it as a threat to national unity,” the statement read.
Counting the IPOB’s controversial weekly sit-at-home order in the Southeast as a reason to disassociate itself, the council added that it wasn’t consulted before the Biafra agitators included Igala in Biafra map.
