Sat Guru Maharaj ji, the spiritual leader of One Love Family, has called on pro-Biafra agitators to refrain from acts that could threaten the nation’s unity.
Maharaj ji made the call in Ibadan during a press conference marking his 68th birthday anniversary.
He urged Nigerians to learn from the insurgency in the North East, which had resulted in loss of innocent lives.
Speaking on the actualization of Biafra, Maharaj Ji stressed that the issue needs urgent attention. However, he noted that Biafra had died since 1968 and called on all Nigerians to pray for the country and its leaders.
“The issue of bad roads and infrastructural decay in the country were responsible for this agitation and it needs urgent attention to avoid another Boko Haram insurgency in the country.
“Igbo traditional rulers should be invited in finding a solution to this issue of Biafra.
“The country is right now fully in control of its security situation and the issue of Biafra should urgently be attended to before it escalates to what we do not expect,” he said.
Expressing support for the anti-corruption campaign of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, he called for accelerated hearings in corruption cases to serve as a deterrent.
