Senator Ned Nwoko, the lawmaker representing Delta North, has insisted that the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu will bring lasting peace to the South-East.
He said there has been absence of peace in the South-East geopolitical zone due to the perceived marginalisation of the region by successive governments.
Nwoko who stated this in an interview on Sunday, added that the South-East has witnessed persistent unrest in recent years, following agitations by the separatist group, which has been calling for the creation of an independent state of Biafra.
Senator Nwoko, maintained that the creation of Anioma State and the release of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, will almost certainly bring lasting peace to the South-East.
According to him, “The problem in the South-East has to do with the perceived injustice by successive governments. So, what needs to be done, and it’s one of the reasons I am here today, is the creation of a new state to make up the number to six, and then the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
“By the time you do these two things, I am almost certain that peace will return to the Southeast,” he said.
