A First Republic Minister of
Aviation, Chief Mbazulike Amaechi, has narrated how Igbo leaders were attacked
by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, during their meeting in
Enugu State.
Amaechi described the disruption
of their meeting by the IPOB members as unfortunate, advising those who had any
reason to protest against any perceived injustice meted out to them to always
adopt peaceful means in fighting their cause.
NE reported earlier in
the week that a summit convened by the Eastern Consultative Assembly, ECA, in
Enugu was disrupted by pro-Biafra agitators.
The agitators, according to the
report, were made up of members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, the
Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, the Biafra
Zionists Federation, BZF, among several others, forced the event to an abrupt
end.
Reacting to the incident, Amaechi
told reporters that “After my address, I was honoured before I left and there
was no objection or murmur from the crowd.
“As I was going, I saw a lot of
buses heading towards the venue.
“Our people should not forget
what Zik did for the country.
“With him as our leader, we
confronted the colonial masters and chased them away and took over government.
If not what we did, Nigeria would not have got her independence at the time she
did.”
