Igbo community in Bauchi state has denounced the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its separatist agenda, declaring support for united Nigeria.
Rev. Dominic Nkwocha, President-General of the community, made the declaration at a press conference held at the secretariat of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) Bauchi, on Saturday.
Nkwocha was in company of the Secretary-General of the group, Patrick Onuorah, and other Igbo leaders residing in the state.
He said: ”We wish to dissociate ourselves from the activities of the so-called Indigenous People of Biafra.
”We will not relent. Bauchi remains our home. We have found peace in Bauchi. We will continue to take advantage of the peace, go about our businesses, respecting the law and remain peaceful and law abiding.
”We are very much safe, we are told in Bauchi. So, no Igbo should be afraid because the leadership under the governor has been security conscious and the security apparatus have been wonderful.”
