Uma Ukpai makes U turn backs IPOB Says Biafra Agitation Existed even after the civil war

Rev. Uma Ukpai have blame bad journalism on the earlier report that his speech was taken out of context. He urged those agitating for or against the creation of an Independent State of Biafra to go about it responsibly, stressing that no agitation should result in loss of life.
The renowned clergy refuted media publications which tended to portray him as anti- Biafra or anti- Nigeria since he is both a Nigerian and a Biafran.
He said, “Rev. Ukpai is a Nigerian; but also a Biafran first. He is one man in three places. I said that the Biafran boys agitating are Nigerians. But when you think of harming your brother because you are in security service, then it is crazy. Every Biafran as of today is a Nigerian until they are handed the flag of their independence soon. Every man who calls himself a Biafran today was once or still a Nigerian.
We should agitate for whatever we want without killing anybody. I had said it that before and I’m saying it again that Nigerians love each other; it is only the corrupt leaders that are spoiling for war. So don’t destroy a life you cannot replace because of agitation.”
He condemned the recent attack on the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pst. Enoch Adeboye by the presidency over his comment on the need to restructure Nigeria, stressing that the Redeemed pastor is entitled to express his reservations.
