"I Have Never Met Them" - Pat Utomi Disowns Biafran Group

Political economist, Prof. Pat Utomi has disowned a secessionist group, which nominated him and few others as cabinet members of the proposed Biafra Republic.

While speaking with Punch, Utomi, was named the foreign minister for the proposed Biafra Republic, said he has never heard about them or met the group before.

He said;

 “I have never heard of those people before. I have never met them. Nnamdi Kanu was created by people who arrested him and we’re still making the same mistake all over again.

“When you people (media) give credence to those kinds of people and begin to discuss them, tomorrow, they get taken seriously. So, I think the best thing to do is to ignore those kinds of things.”

The Department of State Services (DSS) had placed Utomi and others mentioned by the group under watch.

Former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, was appointed as the Governor of the Central Bank of Biafra.
