Former President of the Senate, Chief Ken Nnamani, has said that those agitating for the break up of Nigeria in the South East won’t survive for two weeks if another war should break out in the country.
Nnamani said this on Wednesday when he spoke with newsmen in Lagos on his new book, titled: “Staying Strong.”
The All Progressives Congress chieftain said South Easterners were actually better off in a united Nigeria as they were doing well now.
The former Peoples Democratic Party stalwart said: “Most of the people who call for war are usually the first to be wiped out.
“They would not survive the first two weeks.
“I witnessed the Biafra war.
“Many people died, including students in Nsukka; young and bright citizens who were a joy to their parents, families and communities.
“If Nigeria is properly organised, Igbos will thrive well.
“We should continue to develop our talents and businesses.
“The Igbos stand to benefit most if there is peace.
“Without boasting, there is no place you would not find Igbos.
“Go to Banana Island and Victoria Island in Lagos.
“Many of the skyscrapers are owned by Igbos.
“In Abuja, three-quarter of the hotels are owned by Igbos.
“These investments cannot be moved.
“Turning guns against ourselves is not the answer.
“War is not the solution.
“It is not a party where you sit and drink.”
