This is even as a coalition of young people in the South-East cautioned the IPOB pioneer, Nnamdi Kanu, from holding any rally in the state.

At a press preparation in the state capital, the facilitators of the different youth bodies said they would oppose any movement or program which looks to debilitate the nation's power.

The Organizer of the One Nigeria Gathering, Mr. Azunnaya Andrew, stated, "One Nigeria Gathering remains for Nigeria's unity. We thoroughly denounce the star Biafra rally in Owerri, directed by one Nnamdi Kanu."

Additionally, the Executive, Leading body of Trustees of the Imo Chamber of Young people, Jeff Nwoha; the Organizer of the Nigeria Adolescents Solidarity Gathering, Emeka Igwe; and the national representative for the Adolescent Get together of Nigeria, Samuel Godstime, said as opposed to go for Biafra, adolescents in the South-East needed rebuilding.

Likewise talking for the benefit of previous aggressors in the state, Ohimili Arinze, expressed that they had confidence in the solidarity of Nigeria and would keep on supporting it, including, "We would prefer not to hear anything like Biafra in Imo State; we are completely in help of one Nigeria and we won't permit any self-serving gathering to come and disturb the peace we are getting a charge out of in this state."

In the interim, Kanu, who touched base in Owerri at around 4:30pm, was gotten by IPOB supporters, who had assembled at the Clinic Intersection in the state capital, in this manner causing overwhelming movement.

Tending to the mammoth group, the IPOB pioneer stated, "I will kick the bucket introducing Biafra. It is Biafra or nothing. I am in Owerri to proceed with the message of Biafra. No one can stop us. We don't need rebuilding; it is either Biafra or nothing.

"We have said no to those putting on a show to be speaking to us. There is no expectation in Nigeria, there can never be equity in Nigeria. Biafra has at long last come to remain. Try not to be swindled, I disclosed to Ohaneze that rebuilding would come up short; has it not bombed today?"

Addressing one of our reporters, the Chief of Police, Imo State Summon, Chris Ezike, said the ace Biafra rally was nearly being observed by his men, guaranteeing inhabitants and guests of their security.

Our journalists noticed that there was a monstrous arrangement of vigorously furnished policemen, who spread over the courses took after by the IPOB supporters.
