“By asking the people to stay at home on the 30th of May and majority of the people complied with that order, IPOB not only rubbished the terrorist tag put on them, they also embarrassed the Federal Government and established themselves as a dominant force in their area of influence. If the people regarded IPOB as a terrorist group, they would have never have obeyed any directive from them. How can the very people IPOB are alleged to be terrorising be willingly following their tormentors? It makes no sense.
“On the recent summit on restructuring held in Awka, I have been involved in hosting and holding such summits for the last 24 years. We have passed that stage a long time ago. What we should be talking about now is the practical steps being taken to restructure Nigeria. Holding a summit just to tell the world that you want restructuring is like dragging people like me back to Nursery School”
