Chukwuma, who made the claim during an
interview , stated that until Northerners apologize, banditry and
killings won't stop in the region.
He said;
"Gowon is very apologetic and that was
why he started ‘Nigeria Praise’ and we have to commend him for that. That
‘Nigeria Praise’ was to revive the spirit of the people back from the Civil War
and to reconcile people back to God and to go on with one Nigeria.
“Well, he has done it many times when he
was doing ‘Nigeria Praise’; when he was moving around, he apologized but that’s
not enough. The thing is that the Nigeria government should do that because the
Nigeria Civil War dealt with us in Asaba, it was a real genocide and we’re
asking for apology and more compensation as they do in other places. What is
happening now in the whole of northern Nigeria – the banditry, kidnappings etc
– is God’s punishment for what they did to us, yes! And until they apologize
and ask for forgiveness, at no time will this banditry, kidnapping and killings
stop. The blood of innocent people is crying and that’s what you are seeing
there. So until they apologize and make some restitution, the banditry and
mayhem you have in the North will not stop.”
