Why we are praying for Buhari not to die - Uwazuruike

- There have been anxiety and speculations over the true state of President Muhammadu Buhari's health status since he left for the UK

While some Nigerians believe the president is critically ill, the Uwazuruike-led Biafra Independent Movement says it is praying for Buhari's safe return

The Biafra Independent Movement (BIM), led by Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, has said it is praying for the safe return of President Muhammadu Buhari from the United Kingdom.

This is because the group wants the president to be alive to witness the separation of the south-east from Nigeria. BIM is one of the groups in the zone clamouring for the secession of the Igbo race from the country.

There have been speculations, confusion and anxiety concerning the health status of the president who has shifted his return to the country with claims that he has been advised to wait for the report of the series of medical tests conducted on him.

Vanguard reports that speaking through Emmanuel Omenka, his personal assistant and Anambra North leader of the group, Uwazuruike said: “We don’t pray for the death of anybody created by God irrespective of one’s position in the society.

“We want Buhari to come back and continue with his war against corruption because we support his dealing with bad people and also to witness our actualization of a Biafra state.

“If he is dead or alive, it will not stop us from the realization of this dream.

“Nigeria is a collapsed nation that cannot be revived again unless the country is divided into six independent nations. Recession is eating the best part of Nigeria and its situation is irredeemable and only Biafra is the answer.

“When you have these independent nations, the agitation for Biafra and Niger Delta republic will end.

“There will no longer be Fulani herdsmen attack and Southern Kaduna killings among others as everyone will be after his own people,” he said adding that the group is to set up a task force to compliment the efforts of Governor Willie Obiano in the area of violent crimes that include assassination, kidnapping and armed robbery.
