According to him, whatever reasons that push the young people to engaged themselves in such ugly activities the Igbo are not known for such.
“I am appealing to them to come for a round table discussion.’I am ready to make peace with them, i know what their problems are if they come out from bush.”

And i have not done anything wrong, I am not afraid but even if I die fighting for the Igbo, I will not regret it.”
