The leadership of the Coalition of pro-Biafra Agitators on Wednesday declared their loss of faith in Nigeria politics, stating that people of the South-East should no longer be allowed to involve themselves in any political affairs or functions of Nigeria.

The group said the pullout was necessary, because Nigeria is projected to continually enslave the people of Biafra eternally.

A statement by the group which is made up of Biafra Independence Organization, (BIO), Igbo Revolutionary Movement, (IRM), Eastern Peoples Renewal, (EPR), Biafra Clergy Network (BCN) and Biafra Security Network (BSN), after a consultative meeting with some Igbo stakeholders said that they will no longer support south-east Governors.

The group regretted that south-east governors were yet to commence rehabilitation and reconstruction work of the palace of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s father.

The resolution read in part, "We condemn plan for a third phase of operation Python dance. which the Nigeria Army is planning to commence in Igbo land before Christmas.

"We, the Coalition of pro-Biafra Agitators group, hereby withdraw our earlier support to South East governors. We have resolved that the governors, Dave Umahi of Ebonyi state; Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia state; and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu state respectively will not be returned as Governors in Igbo land again.

"The three first-term governors, Rochas Okorocha of Imo state, and Willie Obiano of Anambra state are colossal failures, cowards and incompetent to be Igbo political leaders.

"That having consulted widely on political aspirations of our people, we have established that the South Eastern governors are completely disconnected from the people on good governance. They are serving Hausa Fulani.

The pro Agitators group insisted that an in-depth scrutiny of the future political survival of people of Biafra, that the people are more interested and concerned on Biafra actualization, restoration and independence, because they have been sidelined on schemes of positive governance in Nigeria.
