AGITATION FOR BIAFRA: Arewa Consultative Forum Blasts MASSOB

Former Inspector General of Police, and the Chairman of Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF, Ibrahim Coomassie, has described agitations for a new Republic of Biafra by Igbo youths as one based on "long emotions," which were "short on logic."
Speaking at at Nsukka while accepting the conferment of honourary Doctor of Public Administration, DPA, on him, by the University of Nigeria, UNN, yesterday, Coomassie said, "While I am not trying to put any one on the spot, you will agree with me that these allegations (of marginalisation against the north) have been around for many years. Yet, like all allegations made by angry people, they are long on emotions and short on logic." He added that the nation's problem has nothing to do with any attempt by any group to marginalise other nationalities, but that of leadership. The ACF Chairman also said, President Buhari should not be seen as a miracle worker.
