The British Government may have made its position known on the renewed agitation by some socio-cultural and political groups in the South-East for the independence of Biafra. Speaking during a visit to Joy Fm 109.1 in Jos, Plateau state, British High Commissioner, Paul Arkwright said Britain will not support any move that will result in the breakup of the country. He called on stakeholders from all the regions to work together to sustain the unity of the country.
"We are in favour of a united Nigeria; we do not support IPOB, we do not support secessionists. Equally, they have a right to be heard because the constitution provides for freedom of expression, even as restructuring is going to be a major factor in the 2019 elections.
"Although I do not know how exactly the restructuring will look like, I am sure that it is going to be a major determinant in the 2019 elections."
