I knew I would be invited. As a law-abiding citizen, if the road is clear tomorrow, I will honour it.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nSpeaking on the intention behind the cake, the Ebonyi PDP Spokesman stated that he did his wedding with a Biafra-styled cake as a show of solidarity with Biafra agitation.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, every Igbo man no matter their political affiliations ought to embrace the struggle for the creation of Biafra.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n\u201cSome journalists while interviewing me about why our wedding cake wore a Biafran colour and logos, asked if security agents had invited me for questioning over it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI continue to reply that court only proscribed IPOB and not Biafra as an ideology. On that cake, no IPOB inscription was there. Wasn\u2019t cut in the name of IPOB when it was about to be eaten. I am not a member of IPOB. Biafran colours have been in existence before the establishment of the IPOB.<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8220;Biafra is an ideology. It\u2019ll continue to be one until the Nigerian state begins to factor Ndigbo in the scheme of things in Nigeria. What I am against is the idea of pursuing Biafran state creation violently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of us have to be alive to witness when the agitations will be led to rest either by way of getting the Nigeria system giving a sense of belonging to the South East or by actual creation of a new country the people can be proud to call theirs. That\u2019s the intention behind that cake,\u201d Nwoba wrote.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi State, Mr Nwoba Chika Nwoba has been invited by the Department of State Services (DSS) over his wedding cake.&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28720,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-96453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
