Ken Nnamani, a former Senate President, has urged Secession agitators in the South-East to sheathe their swords, stressing that people of the region stand to benefit more if the country remains united.
In a chat with newsmen on Tuesday in Lagos, Nnamani warned those calling for war to desist, adding that war is not child’s play.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain said: “Most of the people who call for war are usually the first to be wiped out. They would not survive the first two weeks.
“I witnessed the Biafra war. Many people died, including students in Nsukka; young and bright citizens who were a joy to their parents, families and communities.
