Igboayaka in a press statement by his Senior Special Assistant, SSA on Public Enlightenment, Comrade Andy Ndubuisi, said Nigeria had not been fair to Ndigbo, hence the need for the tribe to seek self autonomy.

He, however, advised Pro-Biafrans to maintain peace and order in their agitation while warning Nigeria government against any violent attack on the group.
