Abdulrahman Kawu Sumaila, a former aide to President Muhammadu Buhari has called on the Igbo elite to condemn the attacks by suspected members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Sumaila made the call in a statement on Thursday.

He also said that no right-thinking Nigerian will support South-East candidacy for the 2023 Presidential elections due to the “atrocities” committed by the Igbos.

Sumaila stated further that everybody, including the perpetrators of the attacks in the South-East, will not be able to escape when the country becomes chaotic.

“With these atrocities committed by the South-East people on record, how can Nigerians entrust them to govern us? I am sure not a single right-thinking Nigerian will endanger his life to support the candidature of any South-East politician contesting for presidency come 2023 general elections,” he said.

“The elite in the South-East should borrow a leaf from their northern counterparts such as Arewa Consultative Forum and Northern Elders Forum, who have been persistently condemning the activities of Boko Haram fighters and bandits in the North,” he said.
