Traders from the
South-East geo-political zone have disowned the Director of Radio Biafra,
Nnamdi Kanu and his cohorts in the pro-Biafran agitation.
The traders under the auspices of ‘South East
Markets Amalgamated Traders Association, in a statement made available to
journalists in Awka on Tuesday, said traders in the area had nothing to do with
the Movement for the Actualisation of Biafra and the Indigenous People of
Biafra, headed by Kanu.
The traders’ statement was signed by their
President and the Secretary, Okwudili Ezenwankwo and Temple Udeh respectively.
They said that their position on the issue had
become necessary because of frequent calls by the secessionist groups for
closure of markets in the area, stressing that the public could be deceived by
such calls into believing that traders were involved in the lawless struggle.
