Igbo Group Plans To Establish A Counter Radio Station To Radio Biafra

An Igbo socio-cultural group, the Igbo Conscience has disclosed its intention to establish a radio station to counter what it calls hate speeches and abuses being churned out by the Radio Biafra, promoted by the now-arrested 'Biafra' agitator, Nnamdi Kanu. The Igbo Congress, in a statement signed by Mr. Joe Igbokwe, a prominent Igbo leader and Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Lagos State Chapter, said the planned radio station was as a result of the negative activities of Radio Biafra, noting that the illegal station had created more enemies for Ndigbo across the country. He said, “The Igbo Conscience plans to own a radio station to counter hate speeches, abuses, curses and blatant lies of those who say they want Biafra. They have created 100 million enemies for Ndigbo in Nigeria that we have invested so much for more than 100 years. "Where operators of Radio Biafra speak pathological lies, we will speak the truth and nothing but the truth. Where they preach hate, abuses and curses, we will speak love and peaceful co-existence. Where they issue threats, we will seek dialogue and power of engagement. Where they preach separatism, we will preach strength in diversity.
