IPOB members living in Rome have approached Cardinal Francis Arinze asking him to convince Pope Francis to endorse the quest of Ndigbo to get the Sovereign State of Biafra.
A video shared across social media platforms showed one the IPOB members when they visited the 88-year-old Anambra State born Cardinal.
Unfortunately, to their utter disappointment, he refused to grant their request warning them of the consequences of a civil war.
“It is those who did not see the civll war who are talking ‘Biafra, Biafra.’ They have no idea,” the revered Catholic Cleric cautioned.
He added that separating citizens is “not the mandate Christ gave Bishops.”
Arinze encouraged his visitors to join politics to be able to bring about the change they desire.
“It is for people like you. You get into politics and work hard with others,” he said.
Cardinal Arinze was one of those tipped to be made Pope before the papal enclave that elected Pope Francis. He is currently one of the senior advisers to the current Pope.
