Governor Aminu Masari of Katsina state has declared that Biafra will never stand, describing the agitation as a mere exercise of freedom of expression.
The governor said Nigeria was bigger than Biafra, noting that even if referendum was called on Biafra, it will fail.
“Agitations are bound to continue. Yesterday, it was Boko Haram trying to create an empire.
“Before then, we have the OPC (Oodua Peoples Congress). The Biafran agitation is part of the freedom of expression, and we don’t know whose turn it will be tomorrow to agitate.
“A marriage of over 100 years is no joke. We are human beings. Some people want to be heard either politically or in some other ways.
“Those who are arguing, you have even among them some people who want to levy war on another platform.
