The UK Visas and Immigration had released new guidelines to its decision makers on how to consider and grant asylum applications to IPOB members whose founder, Nnamdi Kanu, is operating from London. But the Federal Government frowned on the UK immigration guidelines, describing them as support for terrorism. The President-General, World Igbo Youth Congress, Chief Alex Okemiri and the President, South-East Women Professionals, Dr. Helen Ogbonnaya, stated this in separate telephone interviews with one of our correspondents, in Abakaliki, on Wednesday. The Federal Government should address the issues that brought up these agitations, especially through respecting the principles of federal character, which has been abused. “South-East Women Professionals call on Buhari’s government to embrace dialogue with Biafra agitators.”Copyright PUNCH.
