The Chairman, Forum of National Youth Leaders of all Political Parties in Nigeria, Mr Eze Chukwu, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to grant amnesty to members of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Chukwu, who made this appeal on Friday in Abuja, said such gesture made to former Niger Delta militants if extended to IPOB could end the recurrent killings in the South-East.
According to him, the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, gave birth to Indigenous People Of Biafra, IPOB, adding that these were aimed at rising issues of injustice against the Igbo people.
“I am convinced that if the Igbo are given their due place in the scheme of things, the idea of Biafra agitation wouldn’t have arisen in the first place and if the needful is done before now, the agitation would have been put to rest.
“Now that the self-acclaimed leaders of IPOB have been arrested, it will be wise for the government to ensure that no other leader emerges by acting fast to proffer solution to this age-long problem
