Chief Chekwas Okorie has said the Igbo people are indeed living as prisoners in Nigeria.
He stated this while lending his voice to the barrage of voices in support of the former Arch-Bishop of Lagos, Anthony Cardinal Okogie on the state of the nation.
Cardinal Okogie was quoted as saying that Nigeria as a country is not working and has completely broken down.
While lending his voice, Chief Chekwas Okorie said: ‘’Cardinal Okogie is a well-respected man of God, who is endowed with divine vision. He should be taken seriously. This is a statement of fact, it is not prophecy. He said (Nigeria) has broken down, I agree with him. He said Nigeria is not working; I agree with him. People have been talking about it but the government is not responding and this country may break up.
“What Cardinal Okogie said is in tandem with the opinion of many Nigerians. This government is worse than any government before it in terms of Nigerians and citizenship. The Igbo people think they are in a bad prison called Nigeria. At the 2014 National Confab, Nigerians agreed on how to resolve these issues. It is so tragic that on assuming power, President Buhari said he would consign the confab report in the archive.”
“Cardinal Okogie is speaking for the whole nation. I hope President Buhari will listen and change attitude to wise counsel.”, he added.
