''The Itsekiri Progress Club condemns in its entirety the inclusion of the Itsekiri homeland of Delta State in the banded map of the proposed Biafra Republic by the advocates of this dream.
“While we have no say in the aspirations of people to own and air their views and agitate for self-determination.
WE view seriously the inclusion of the land mass of the Itsekiris of Warri Kingdom in their self-serving agitations.’’
