They said: "Though we do not doubt Your Excellency's bona fide concerns for the peaceful resolution of the crisis, we nevertheless have reservations as to the efficacy of this approach in Ensuring lasting solutions.

"Our Doubts are informed by the following historical antecedents that have Characterized the behavior and conduct of the Igbo in Nigeria and previous efforts at containing them.
