please come to the aid of this community. We are not part of what is going, I mean, Biafra agitation. We are not part of it.
“The community is being invaded by outsiders. They are invading our community. We are only calling on government to protect us. This is an invasion. One cannot come out of his compound, we have been held inside our compound.
“We are calling on the Abia state and federal government to wake up because what is coming gradually now, might turn to something else.
“We want peace in this community. There is tension everywhere in this country. If they want us to break up this country, this is not the way to go about it; it is by referendum, everybody will sit down and agree.
“But I don’t believe breaking up of this country is the right thing to do. I believe that there must be changes in the polity. I believe the present federal government is listening. Everybody in this country have said we need to restructure Nigeria.
“And we believe if this country is restructured, all these agitations will cease.”
