The former gover­nor of Akwa Ibom state called on par­ents and community lead­ers in the southeast and south-south regions of the country to ensure that they caution and educate their wards on the negative im­plication of their actions.
Akpabio made this admonition while receiving members of the Akwa Ibom state House of Assembly led by its speak­er, Aniekan Uko, who paid him a courtesy visit in the National Assembly in Abuja on Thursday, November 12.
The ex-governor said: “For those of us who wit­nessed the civil war, we should not be seen to be supporting this needless struggle because it is an ill wind that will blow no good, no matter your status or political affiliation.”
He stressed: “No mat­ter the level of disaffection among different groups within the nation, there are better and lawful channels in which any aggrieved group or individuals can explore to get a redress in­stead of engaging in out­right lawlessness. Let us all rise in unison to condemn any group that is bent on destroying the oneness of this country because our strength as a country lies in our unity.
