Former
Commissioner for Education in Old Anambra State, Professor Nduka Eya, has urged
Igbos residing in the North to defend themselves against any possible attack,
stressing that they only can be called true Nigerians.
Eya noted
that Igbos reside in all parts of the country, thus championing the one Nigeria
agenda.
He gave the
call against the backdrop of Northern youths asking Igbos to vacate their
region by October 1.
Speaking at
the University of Nigeria, UNN, Nuskka, Eya said asking Igbos to vacate the
North is a matter that must not be treated lightly.
The former
Commissioner noted that even though the Igbos are agitating for Biafra, they
had never asked anyone to vacate the South East.

He said,
“This is part of democracy but to threaten the Igbo to leave the north must not
be treated with kid gloves.
“Like the
secretary general of Ohaneze has said, go about your normal business but you
have the right to defend yourself.
“The main
Arewa forum should come openly to issue statements. Enough of cutting peoples
throat, splitting blood and splitting pregnant women belly, those barbaric acts
should stop.
“If you
fight me I will fight back because if I don’t fight you will kill me.

“The IPOB/

anybody to leave the east while no section of the country has questioned why
the quest for Biafra?”
