Former Abia State Governor, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to address injustices people of the South East experienced during the Biafran Civil War by declaring the region a special area.
Kalu, who spoke with Reporters at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) on his arrival from the United State also said Buhari should be commended for giving financial autonomy to the state judiciary and houses of assembly.
He said the new bill signed by the president, which gives autonomy to the judiciary and legislature should be extended to the federal arm of government.
“Buhari should go a step further and declare the south east a social area because people in the region were given ill treatment. They lost mines and property. He has already made a good step by paying the Biafran police their entitlements.”
