Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n
An apex socio-cultural Igbo youth group, Ohaneze Youth Council (OYC) has appealed to the federal government to grant presidential pardon to all pro-Biafran detainees in the spirit of independence.<\/p>\n
In a communiqu\u00e9 signed by the National President of the group, Igboayaka O Igboayaka, he said it was unfortunate that at sixty years of Nigeria, the problem that led to the Nigeria-Biafran civil war has multiplied to a larger proportion.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet me say it without fear or favour that it is only by God\u2019s intervention that the country has not experienced a yet another civil war.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the happenings in Nigeria, the marginalization, injustice, wickedness, hate, extra-judicial killings and oppressive government against Ndigbo and other minor ethnicities in Nigeria, the country should have been due for another round of civil war.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately, since 2015, the country\u2019s division has increased from 70% to 99%. This is shameful!<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, we are 60 and are merely celebrating a theoretical Nigeria independence with new neocolonialism. I want to say, without mincing words, that Nigeria is still a toddler at 60. Nigeria needs a civilian president like late General Sani Abacha.<\/p>\n
