Former Senate President, Ken Nnamani, has opined that agitation would not lead to the actualization of Biafra.
Nnamani stressed that rather than agitate for Biafra; people of the region should rather embrace dialogue and political solution to achieve self-determination.
Speaking in Abuja, on Thursday, the former Senate President also canvassed for the restructuring of the country.
He noted that the people stand a better chance to benefit from restructuring rather than engaging in agitation that could easily lead to deaths.
According to Nnamani, “Those of us from South East had nothing to be ashamed of, our case was reviewed and still going under construction as a building.
“Some other places that never experienced war are not doing better than us. I am one of the last persons that will encourage anybody to agitate for another war.
“If you look at the structures here in Abuja, the notable hotels and structures, statistically speaking belong to the southerners and that tells you how enterprising our people are.
“I was in Abeokuta recently for the launch of a book called the “Yoruba Agenda.” The book was about restructuring and not exiting from the union. Each geopolitical zone should develop at its own pace. Our people should take that message home.
“Igbos fought Biafran war but go back to Igbo land and see the business and other developmental activities going on there. I want to discourage our people from the idea of having our young ones who ought to be in school littered all over streets agitating for Biafra.”
