Chidoka urges Buhari to lift ban on IPOB
A former aviation minister and the governorship candidate of the United Progressives Party, Mr Osita Chidoka, on Saturday urged President Muhammadu Buhari to lift the proscription order on the Indigenous People of Biafra.
Chidoka stated this during the flag off of his governorship campaign at Amoka in Ihiala Local Government Area of the State.
He described the proscription of IPOB as presumptuous and unnecessary.
He said the Igbo had no trace of terrorism in their history, adding that self-determination was a fundamental right.
The UPP standard-bearer, however, condemned street protests as means of achieving self-determination, saying that intelligence and critical reasoning should guide in such struggle.

He said, “While we salute all those who through one legitimate way or the other had pursued the struggle, we state today that we are stepping into a new frontier. The Igbo voice against marginalization and injustice will not be achieved on the streets.
“It will rather be won with a determined engagement of our institutions of government and with other Nigerians who feel aggrieved to redefine the meaning of Nigeria and remove the inequalities that have fanned the embers of discord and restructure our nation along the lines of justice, equality and fairness.
