Former Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, has disassociated himself from a pro-Biafra group, the Biafra Zionist Federation, which named him as its Minister of Aviation, following it so-called self-declaration of a ‘Republic of Biafra’, on August 1, 2017.
Maku, while fielding questions from Journalists on Thursday, disclosed that he is committed to the unity of Nigeria as a country.
Recall, that the group had a few days ago named Eminent Economist, Prof. Pat Utomi, as Foreign Minister, while a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, was appointed as the Governor of the Central Bank of Biafra.
In the same vein, a former boss of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Ms. Arunma Oteh, has been named the Finance Minister, among others.
Reacting, Labaran said: “Somebody called that I have been appointed a Minister of Biafra. How can somebody associate me with a micro in Nigeria? What does that tell you? It means there is confusion and desperation among the youths. You need to bring the youths together, and reassure them that they have a future.
“A Federation gives equal opportunities to all its children. We have structural and leadership deficiencies. The problem is lack of justice. So, we need truth to heal our nation. Some of these youths are victims of structural deficiency. When I heard the story of secessionist movement, it shows that these youths need counselling”, he added.
When asked if he was named a Minister for being the Chief Scribe of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Maku said: “I don’t know them. I’m National Secretary of APGA. I come from Nasarawa State. No party will be registered by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), unless its composition has national character.”
