Rivers Leaders Reject Biafra

A body of the Ikwerre ethnic nationality in Rivers State, the Ogbakor Ikwerre, has categorically rejected the leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu’s demand that Rivers State must be part of Biafra.
Speaking in an interview with The Tide in Port Harcourt, President-General of the Ogbakor Jkwerre Convention Worldwide, Prof Simeon Achinewhu, said the Biafra failed in the past because there were attempts by the former Biafran leader, late Odumegwu Ojukwu, to force unwilling minority groups into Biafra.
Also speaking, the factional President, Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), Eric Omare, asked Kanu to restrict his Biafra agitation to states of the South-East.
Omare said: “The Ijaw nation has said it times without number that the South-South, especially the Ijaws are not part of Biafra territory.”
It would be recalled that Nnamdi Kanu recently paid a visit to the Rivers State capital, Port Harcourt, where he was received by a large number of pro-Biafra supporters.
Addressing the crowd, which was reported to be over three million, Nnamdi Kanu, said there was nothing like one Nigeria, insisting that Biafra is the reward of the people.
He urged his supporters to demand for Biafra now for the benefit of their children and their grand children who have been marginalised by those in Abuja.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
