Founder of DAAR Communications, Raymond Dokpesi, has said the agitation for Biafra by the Indegeneous People of Biafra, IPOB, led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has made Igbos lost chances of having Igbo president.
The DAAR Communications founder believe that some Nigerians believe that Nnamdi Kanu would have chances of declaring Biafra if Igbo man is the president of Nigeria.
He said Nnamdi Kanu would use militant tactics to achieve his aim in declaring Biafra.
He stressed that Kanu has compromised chances of getting an Igbo President in 2023 general Elections.
According to a statement he issued on Monday Dokpesi said he believes in a strong United Nigeria.
The statement reads partly:
“The emergence of IPOB and its influence across the South East has complicated and undermined the agitation for patriotic Nigerians of Igbo extraction to lead this nation as far as the 2023 election is concerned.
“If nobody has told Ohaneze Ndigbo before, the concern today from some other regions is that if Nnamdi Kanu plays the role of Aguiyi Ironsi in leading a militant revolt against constitutional government in the southeast under Igbo presidency, the president will be pressured by his base to facilitate the UN processes for the South East to call for independence from Nigeria.
“Thus an Igbo President may be compromised in protecting the political and geographic boundaries of Nigeria whilst Nigeria remains under the threat of IPOB’s secessionist activities.”
