Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed has said the agitation by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB will fail.
He said the agitation by the group will not succeed because Igbos own half of Nigeria.
Mohamed disclosed this when he met with delegates of the Peoples Democratic, PDP in Anambra on Friday.
He said: “When I was minister of Federal Capital Territory, the Igbo capital investment in Abuja was over 50 per cent.
“That is the true position, not only in Abuja but in Kano, Lagos, Kaduna and other states. So, we are interrelated and connected as a people in Nigeria.
“We need to stabilise that symbiotic bond that binds us together. When IPOB is talking about self-determination and self-actualization, for where? When you owe over half of the country.
“God may not give you everything. He has given something to you. That is the truth. Because of this, I am calling for this unity and fraternity among us. If the Igbo youth understand this, they will now know the need for peace and unity in the country.”
