Self-proclaimed leader of the Biafra de facto customary government, Asari Dokubo on Saturday questioned Yoruba leaders on why they are encouraging some controversial tactics of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), now controlled by its Directorate of States (DoS).
Dokubo severely condemned Southwest leaders for ‘cheering IPOB members on to violence and destruction’.
He made his thoughts known this during a Facebook Live monitored by POLITICS NIGERIA, where he queried why Yoruba leaders (unnamed) are not announcing a lockdown in the southwest region to protest the continued detention of Yoruba Nation agitator, Sunday Igboho.
Like Nnamdi Kanu, Igboho is agitating for the break-up of Nigeria, and creation of a new nation. Both are presently in confinement (since last year).
“‘Yoruba elders, why are you not telling Sunday Igboho and his supporters to destroy Lagos, destroy Osogbo, destroy Ibadan, destroy all the markets and business centres in Southwest?’ Why are they not doing sit-at-home? Why are they not encouraging them (residents of Southwest)? Their (Yoruba leaders) agenda is to destroy Igboland,” Dokubo said.
He added: “They are not telling their people to destroy, but they are telling you (Igbo people) to destroy (your own). And Igbos are contributing money for you abroad. I’m so ashamed.”
