Former governor of Abia State, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu, has said the agitation for a sovereign state of Biafra is affecting the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the South-East.
Kalu spoke on Tuesday in Abuja, at a joint press conference with members of the Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG), after a closed meeting with the group.

Kalu said he was speaking with IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu and other Biafra secessionists.
“It is an issue of great concern to the region; the young people on the street do not know the damage the Biafra agitation does to the GDP of the region.
“The GDP of the area has gone down grossly; I am an entrepreneur and I know it.
“Cameroon, Chad, Niger and others used to buy goods from Aba, now how many of them still go there?
.
“We resolved this issue when I was the governor of Abia; I resolved it with Ralph Uwazuruike and he listened; we will speak with Nnamdi Kanu and he will listen.”
