The Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, on Wednesday, urged the Federal Government to address the agitations by secessionist groups in the country, IgbereTV reports
Lawan, who made the call in his address at the public presentation of a book titled: “Foundations of Nigeria’s Unity,” written by the Senator representing Cross Rivers Central District, Sandy Onor, said agitations by self-determination groups are harmful to nation-building.
He stressed that marginalization is the primary reason for such calls and urged the government to look into the matter and address it.
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has been pushing for the actualization of the Republic of Biafra in the South-East.
The Ilana Omo Oodua is also spearheading the self-determination movement in the South-West
Lawan said: “There is no part of this country that does not cry about marginalisation from time to time, but, I think, some of these tendencies of pull-away are centrifugal tendencies created by the elites
