Following deaths and other forms of bloody violence recorded on Thursday’s ‘Biafra Day’ commemoration at the Obikabia Junction in Ogbor Hill, Abia State.
The former campaign Spokesman of President Tinubu in the zone, Dr. Josef Onoh has suggested that the agitating States should be allowed the South East States to referendum to know if separation from Nigeria is majority opinion of the people in the South East Nigeria after which any state that opts out of our country Nigeria will cut all ties with us and any act of terrorism on their part will be declared as a state of war and our Armed Forces can fully engage them from the point of war.
Onoh however said that he commiserates with the Nigerian Armed Forces who lost their men in the unfortunate incident and also condole with the families of other Nigerians who lost their loved ones in the “cowardice act.”
Our soldiers were not trained to be killed by those they were trained to protect.

According to Onoh,
“The South East east Governors should come together and engage these Agitators jointly than separately which has been the major loopholes these criminals have leveraged on to constantly unleash mayhem in the region.
I am disappointed that all the elites and billionaires including politicians are dancing ‘Owambe’ in other safe regions of the country while remaining silent as their region is on fire and besieged by criminals.
They would rather spend their wealth on Police protection in which some of them have more Policemen attached to them than the President himself.
If the President declares State of Emergency in the South East to contain the situation they will condemn him and bring in tribal and political sentiments.
Today in the South East, both economic and infrastructural development has declined drastically, they work from Tuesday to Thursday, Fridays is now for burials, Saturdays for weddings and traditional marriages, Sundays for thanksgivings and child dedication and the Almighty Monday is now for resting and house chores.
What a shame in once a peaceful and vibrant region!
Clearly, Eastern Security Network (ESN), Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) and their collaborators are not to blame rather it is the attitude of 99% of people resident in the South East and their selfish exploitation of the sit at home to their own comfort that has fuelled the situation. Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa not to be blamed for the upheavals in the South East but the Igbos who gives tacit support and are indifference to the crisis.
For how long should we continue to kill ourselves under the guise of fighting for freedom? It is unfortunate that most of the soldiers killed in yesterday’s bloody mayhem are from Igbo extraction.
How many Yorubas did Sunday Igboho killed in his agitation for Oduduwa Republic? It is time all Igbos put on their ‘thinking cap’ and take full responsibility for what is happening in their land.
They even circulate propaganda videos on social media 24hrs before each sit at home just to promote fear and ensure they don’t go to work, open the markets. I say shame on them!
The residents even frustrate the efforts of their respective Governors hence defeating the very purpose these Governors have attempted to individually contain.
Finally, our brave men and women of the Armed Forces have sacrificed a lot to be killed for nothing, the inaction of the Police hirarchy during the ENDSARS protests that saw criminals killing and beheading Police Officers have risen to the mayhem we face today and the boldness of burning Police stations.
We only have only one country, I can comfortably call on our patriots in the region that our brave soldiers must not die in vain, ensure their families find succour in a matter of days.
