The separatist Indigenous People of Biafra has urged people in the South-East not to join the festering protests by Nigerians against the current economic hardship in the country under the government of President Bola Tinubu.
The separatist group warned that such protests must not take place in the southeastern states because Igbo had long lost interest in Nigeria and were only waiting for an opportunity to leave.
The group made the claim in a statement on Tuesday by its spokesman, Emma Powerful.
Powerful warned that anyone who organised any protest against economic hardship in the South-East would put Ndigbo in danger.
The country has in recent times witnessed increasing agitation and protests over the rising cost of living and skyrocketing prices of foodstuffs.
However, the apex socio-cultural Igbo organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, on Monday, called on the Igbo people not to join any such protests against the Tinubu-led Federal Government.
Ohanaeze urged Nigerians to exercise patience with Tinubu.
