The United States Military Veterans of Igbo Descent, AVIDUSA, has said returning to the 1960/63 regional autonomy is the only way to mitigate the country’s socio-economic and security problems.

AVID warned that Nigeria risks a total collapse if it fails to return to the 1960/63 regional autonomy model.

The body spoke in a statement signed by its President, Sylvester Onyia and Dr. Godson Obiagwu, Secretary.

According to AVID: “The United States Military Veterans of Igbo Descent (AVIDUSA) believes that a return of Nigeria to 1960/63 regional autonomy is the only way to mitigate Nigeria socio-economic and security problems.

“In 2017, shortly after the leader of the Biafra indigenous people was freed from illegal detention, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the late Prof. Ben Nwabueze, Evangelist Elliot U. Uko, and the South-East governors met in Enugu state to discuss the demands of the Biafran people.

“On August 30, 2017, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
made these demands before the South-East governors, who were chaired by Engr. Dave Umahi.

“His demands included: Make Enugu a grade one international airport so that our people in different parts of the world can easily fly in without having to stop over first in any part of Nigeria.

“He also demanded that Owerri airport which our people contributed money to build in the days of Governor Sam Mbakwe be upgraded to a functional Cargo airport.

“MNK demanded the revival of all moribund industries in the South-East and South-South to provide job opportunities for thousands of our youths and graduates from higher institutions.

“Following announcement of his demands to the South-East, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu reiterated that if they fail to address these problems, Biafrans will demand a referendum on their status as foreigners in Nigeria.

“His parents died because they were unable to withstand the shock. In light of the fact that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is still being held without authorization, both the North and the South have agreed
that Nigeria should be restructured.

“The South-East Development Commission is something that the East is proud of. It wasn’t accidental; rather, it was the outcome of the very change-agitation that the IPOB and its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, supported. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu defends humankind in battle. Release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu now.”
