Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has described 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.
