Tinubu Seeks Biafra South‑East, Says Umahi

Nigerian politician Bola Tinubu, the president‑elect of the All Progressives Congress, has publicly urged former Biafran separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu to focus his activism on the South‑East region rather than the broader Biafra independence agenda. Tinubu’s comment came during a meeting with Ebonyi State governor Dave Umahi, who has been encouraging dialogue with pro‑Biafra groups. The president‑elect’s statement is aimed at reducing secessionist tensions by limiting the separatist movement to a single geopolitical zone. Views Nigeria
