those agitating for the creation of Biafra state
as miscreants. Obasanjo said this in an interview with
Sahara reporters
"This is a fake agitation. You people make a mountain
out of a molehill. These are boys who want to take
people unaware and get money out of them in the name
of Biafra. These are the people you should ignore,
I don’t talk about Biafra. (Philip) Effiong came and
said Biafra ceased to exist and since that day, Biafra
has ceased to exist. We absorbed those we should
absorb both into the civil service and into the military.
Even those we didn’t absorb, who we initially regarded
as being retired without benefits, later on we even
gave them their benefits. Abandoned houses were
returned. Within 10 years of the end of our Civil War,
an Igbo man became the vice-president of our country.
It took the Americans 100 years before they got to
that point. So, what are you talking about? They have
held all the ministerial positions existing in this country.
We have Igbo as the Governor of Central Bank, Igbo
has headed many parastatals in this country. That’s why
these miscreants should be ignored. They want to get
money and they go round and say, ‘We are still being
victimised. We are still being treated badly in Nigeria,’
so that they can take money from people.” He said.
