Obasanjo In Secret Biafra Negotiations.

 

Obasanjo In Secret Biafra Negotiations.

Officially, the reason for the visit was to commission a road being built by the governor Okezie Ikpeazu. But we have been informed that Obasanjo was sent to Aba by President Muhammadu Buhari to explore means to defuse the pro-Biafra protests that have taken the southeast region by storm.
Since the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, the self-proclaimed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) by security agents in October, many young people have demonstrated in the big cities of the southeast and beyond demanding Kanu’s release and the secession of the region from Nigeria.
Several of the protesters have been killed by the police and tensions are mounting, with concerns being raised over the impact of Kanu’s arrest and pro-Biafran sentiment on Nigerian security.
So the president dispatched Obasanjo as a secret emissary to Aba, which is seen as the epicentre of the pro-Biafran movement, to negotiate with key players on how to resolve the crisis.
