Give Igbos Biafra, They’re Now More Sophisticated – OPC Nat’l Coordinator
Gani Adams, National Coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), has urged the Federal Government to grant Igbos self-rule.
Gani, in a chat with SUN, declared that Yorubas are solidly behind the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB’s call for a sovereign state of Republic of Biafra.
He noted that the Igbos of today are not those of 1967 to 1970, saying they are now sophisticated and more determined to break out of Nigeria.

“I would be the last person that would ask the Igbo people to stop the agitation for the Republic of Biafra. It is their right for self-determination.
“Look at the population of the Igbo people now and they are the most vibrant and widely travelled Nigerians.

“When people are saying that they would crush the Igbo people the way they crushed them in 1967, I always laugh at them.

“The people you have now are not the Igbo of 1967 to 1970.
“We have a new Igbo society that is more organized and sophisticated.
“I was one of those that supported the release of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
“The crackdown on IPOB would not help matters because if they are determined for liberation, you cannot stop them no matter the force you use against them.
“So, I believe that the only way to resolves all these agitations is to go back to the Republican Constitution of 1963,” said Adams.
