It will be recalled that Ohanaeze Youth filed a petition to United Nations seeking for a special protection of Ndi-Igbo, and the call to conduct a referendum to determine the future of Igbo people in Nigeria.
Contrary to that, Isiguzoro who spoke during a Phone-in-program aired by the Abia state-owned radio station (BCA) on Monday insisted that except a referendum was conducted in Nigeria, the country will continue to witness agitations in many quarters.
He, however, expressed the hope that the outcome of the visit would bring a permanent solution to the current impasse in the Country.
