Speaking during an exclusive interview with Rudolf Okonkwo on 90MinutesAfrica, Ejimakor described the agitation for Biafra as a political issue rooted in demands for self-determination, insisting that the Nigerian government should engage aggrieved groups through negotiations.
Prominent lawyer and counsel to imprisoned Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) leader, Nnamdi Kanu, Barrister Aloy Ejimakor, has argued that the long-running Biafra agitation can only be effectively addressed through dialogue rather than arrests, prosecutions, or other law enforcement measures.
Speaking during an exclusive interview with Rudolf Okonkwo on 90MinutesAfrica, Ejimakor described the agitation for Biafra as a political issue rooted in demands for self-determination, insisting that the Nigerian government should engage aggrieved groups through negotiations.
According to him, those seeking self-determination are essentially asking for a seat at the negotiating table rather than seeking confrontation with the state.
"When people engage in agitations for self-determination, they are actually asking to come to the table," he said. "The best answer to such agitations is not the use of law enforcement but dialogue."
