NIGERIA CAN NOT PROGRESS UNLESS THOSE HOLDING BIAFRANS DOWN RELINQUISH THEIR GRIP – EKWEREMADU

The Deputy Senate President, Chief Ike Ekweremadu on Tuesday lamented that individuals in some parts of the country have over the years created some advantages for themselves to the detriment of other parts of the country, adding that this has made some people to be held down. Speaking while being interviewed in a programme on RayPower FM monitored by DAILY POST in Abuja, Ekweremadu warned that when somebody is held down; neither he nor the person holding him down will be able to make any progress.

He, therefore, called on those who have created advantages for themselves to shelve such and support the creation of an advantage that is all encompassing and would benefit every segment of the country, stressing that that is when the country will be able to make progress.
