Don’t Compare Western Sahara With Biafra, Biafra Is Dead And Forgotten.- Garba Shehu

-









Senior Special Assistant to the president on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, has said the IPOB and other groups agitating for a Biafra State were living in mirage, adding that the matter was a rested case.
Garba told New Telegraph that as far as he was concerned, Nigerians paid the ultimate prize of going to a-three-year civil war, where over one million people lost their lives.
He pointed out that those protesting for a State of Biafra have no information about the political history of the country
He said the issue of Biafra was settled at the end of that civil war.
“Remember that this country fought a civil war for 30 months in which one million people were killed.
“The issue of Biafra was settled at the end of that civil war.
“What is there again? “It is people who haven’t read Nigerian history and don’t know about it that are trying to raise new dust.”
Recently, Buhari was said to have thrown his weight behind the liberation of the Saharawi people in Morocco, a statement which most Nigerians frowned at against the agitation of the Biafra group.
Garba said, “For anybody to make comparison between Western Sahara and Biafra, that is a display of knowledge deficit in international politics. One, Western Sahara is a classic case of decolonisation.
“It is the last remaining colony on the African continent and we all owe it a duty to ourselves to liberate Western Sahara.

Albert Kan Dapaah Jnr, the only contender in the Ablekuma West New Patriotic Party parliamentary primaries, failed to clear the first hurdle in his bid to unseat the incumbent Member of Parliament, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful. The party’s regional executives failed Mr Kan Dapaah Jnr, who had earlier alleged that constituency executives were playing hide and seek with nomination forms. In February, Mr Kan Dapaah, who is the son of the National Security Minister, vowed to unseat the incumbent MP, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, as the party’s parliamentary candidate in the constituency.  But he cited foul play after he was allegedly left stranded at the party’s constituency office on February 5, 2020, when he arrived to pick up nomination forms to contest the primaries. After his vetting, the Greater Accra Regional Secretary of the NPP, Parker Ordalai France, told Class FM that the young politician did not make the mark. He was, however, quick to add that Mr Kan Dapaah Jnr had not been disqual
