The Igbo Community Association in Kano state has also distanced itself from the activities of Independent Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) and its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
The President-General of the association, Chief Ebenezer Chima, made the position of the association known at a recent news conference.
“We want to state categorically here that we, the Igbos residing and doing business in Kano state, unequivocally state that we dissociate ourselves from the activities of IPOB and its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
“We are strongly advocating for peace and unity in the land,” Chima said.
“However, we join the South-East governors, the leadership of Ohaneze Ndigbo and other notable Igbo leaders, to ask the Federal Government to address the issues of equality and even distribution of our common wealth.
“This, we believe will bring an end to these agitations in the country.’’
“ECLAK got the mandate to speak to the media by allaying fears of our people over the concern of their lives and property.
“ECLAK is interested in a united Nigeria because we believe that those not living in their states of origin should not contribute to disorganise the country.’’
