A cleric , Bro . Samuel Ajayi , of the John 3 : 16 Ministry , Aba, Abia State has lauded Nobel Laureate , Prof Wole Soyinka and former Ohanaeze President , Dozie Ikedife over their stand on the agitation for Biafra.
Soyinka had last week in an interview with Al Jazeera, an international TV cable network, said he supported the agitation and that he was “very much pro- Biafra because I recognize that the Igbo have been wronged desperately ”.
Condemning what the Igbo have passed through in the country, Soyinka further stated : “They (Biafra) have been brutalised in a way that justifies their feeling that they were not part of the nation ”.
Ikedife on his part said no man can stop Biafra, stressing that Biafra is a spirit that drives every Igbo man at home and in diaspora which is beyond any human destruction .
Ajayi commended the two elder statesmen over their views on Biafra contending that as a people they have been marginalised in their own country . He added that the time has come for the Igbo to be given the right for selfdetermination .
The cleric said both Soyinka and Ikedife deserve commendation by every Igbo man and woman for speaking so glowingly in support of Biafra and that it behoves on the people to continue in the struggle
