Biafra sit-at-home order: Why FG must listen to Igbo agitators – Niger Delta elders
A coalition of traditional rulers and leaders of the South South, Pan Niger-Delta Forum, PANDEF, has asserted that the compliance to the sit-at-home order across the South East is an indication that all is not well with Nigeria.
Against this backdrop, PANDEF advised the federal government to listen to the yearnings of the various Biafra agitators.

In a statement by its Co-Chairman, Obong Victor Attah, the coalition noted that there was no harm in discussing the unity of Nigeria.
The statement reads, “Biafra is born out of a deep-seated and agonizing feeling of marginalization and discrimination, so as has been advised; let us listen to the Ibos and the Biafra agitators.
“We listen to them with clear understanding that Nigeria is better off united and that disintegration is not in anyone’s interest.
“The success recorded by the Biafra sit-at-home call as reported by various news media is a clear indication that all is not well in our country. We in PANDEF find this quite disturbing and, therefore, consider it necessary to issue this statement.
“We have always had centrifugal and centripetal forces working at variance within the country. The compromise between this forces gave birth to our federal system, which at independence provided for us to be our brothers’ keepers, while at the same time providing enough for each region to develop at its own pace”.
