STOP PRESS!!!
The Publication with the misleading title "Nigeria’ll break up when South-South agrees to join Biafra" which was fabricated by some desperate persons with no good intent and circulates by copy and paste bloggers with no moral or professional etiquette and credited to Barr, E A Uzum has been brought to our notice.
Ordinarily, we would not bother to join issues with the propagators of this fake news as only lowlife with more morale value will intentional misquote an innocent man and mislead the public, just to gain traffic but for record purpose.
Let it be Known that the Niger Delta Peace and Security summit summit koko was organized and hosted by Revive Africa Initiative which I as the Director General as well as the convener whilst we invited Barr. E A UZUM was invited as a keynote speaker at the summit and he never made such statement at anytime.
Barr. Uzum while stressing the need for equity across Nigeria as a panacea for peace he stated that people can every ethnic group should be accorded due respect and recognition.
Going forward he said; "why I don't subscribe to Biafra agitation because a set of agitators can not sit down somewhere and draft Niger Delta and South South state into the Biafra map without consulting us, a region that is bigger than the South east itself, I can not work, it is an insult on our people, we can not subscribe to that likewise the Government at the centre must always consult every region and threat them equitably in making decisions"
RAI can not phantom why the originator of this fallacious story would deliberately turn a harmless statement upside down and fabricate a completely false and misleading story.
Regardless of this, I am calling on the general public to disrard such story as it is not only false and misleading but I'll but also written with the sole intention to malign the Barr. E A Uzum and instigate the public.
Signed
Amb. Ugagaoghene Ogheneyole N
