The governor Of Abia State, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu has declared that he has no grudges against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

The governor, who spoke during an interview with newsmen in Umahia, the state capital, said he was ready to engage the Biafra freedom fighter on how security would be restored in the state and other parts of Southeast.

Governor Ikpeazu while reacting to the activities of the IPOB members, who were accused of attacking security operatives in the state, said violence would not bring the expected change.

The governor called for dialogue between the secession agitators and the government to address their grievances, stressing that, “if there are things you want us to vocalize about the way things are going in this country, raise the tune a little bit, I think there are people who are willing to say that and do that”.

According to him, “I am not going to engage Nnamdi on the grounds of IPOB, but I can speak to citizen Nnamdi who happens to be an Abian but not on the basis or affiliation with IPOB. I’m going to speak to Nnamdi on the basis of the fact that I am the governor of Abia State and he is a citizen of Abia State.

“But again, why won’t I discuss with anybody? I don’t have anything personal against Nnamdi and I don’t think he has anything personal against me. But all of us are saying the same thing to the extent that there is injustice, there is marginalization, we are saying the same thing. Our point of divergence is the approach.

“If you’re taking up arms against the Nigerian nation, what capacity do you have to conclude it? Because I’m not a suicide candidate and I saw a bit of the civil war and I don’t want to get people on a boat that is sailing to nowhere. He is entitled to his opinion, views and approach, but I’m also saying to him, that as a young boy who went to Maiduguri at the age of 16, the boundaries of the South East and Northern Nigeria is not in Umuahia or Ubakala Police Station, neither is it in Bende or Ohafia.

“Fighting in the kitchen is one of the indices that define lack of appreciation of the first rule of human existence which is self-preservation, because after the fight in the kitchen, with which pot and plate are you going to eat? Is it possible that while you’re fighting in your kitchen with your kinsmen, that your real enemies could be sitting somewhere drinking Champaign and be laughing at your lack of understanding and love among yourselves?

“If you have a perceived enemy and you embark on such a voyage and your son kills you, your enemy will just attend your funeral and save his gunpowder for another enemy. I think there is a need for a good reason to prevail. Let’s sit down and talk about it.

“For me, I think we need to change a few things in this country and I think we need to be smart about the way we change it. There is somebody who said that those who resort to violence have exhausted the capacity of their intelligence to resolve the matter. I don’t think we have exhausted the capacity of our intelligence to resolve the matter. Violence cannot be the first option”.

Best way to go.

The Senile Cows in Aso Rock only listen and quickly do press conference when they are at the Receiving end of their Brutality.

The only way to shake up those Cows is by Taking up Arms to defend urself and Families.

Now I sleep with a Dagger under my Pillow. Can't take chances, atleast b4 u kill me, ah go don Dagger like 2 to 3 of them b4 I die. Atleast Dem go escort me.

Ah wan buy Gun Sef, Who go Sell For me Bayi??

I stand with u 99% Mr Governor, however, I bliv u can still engage ur fellow SE Governors on how to bring back peace to the SE, how to engage these agitators and we all could be on a common ground, I don't support taking up arms as the ESN has resulted to, we end up destroying our own land. We can't blame each other forever, if u Governors had been proactive enough to create a strong regional security outfit just like the Amotekun in the SW maybe we won't have anything like the ESN today...whichever way, today is still early, if we start today we can still save ourselves of impending crisis looming over our region

The security agents have tamed his boys already. No more shouts of "e no go enter", "who say men no dey" and other songs of defeat.

Is too late.He was on ground protesting peacefully and you aggreed with the fulani government for operation python dance.The result was the death of his aged parents.Thr is no hiding place for you type again.Is blood for blood.You can't run abroad again to hide because ipob is everywhere in the world.And you are now scared what you live will be when the immunity is withdrawn. We will equally dance on the grave of all this efulefu called leaders in East.They are afraid of thr own shadow now.You and your families will definitely pay is matter of time. .ewu governor

Eyes service. The last time Nnamdi Kanu met with the eastern governors including ikpeazu, they all ganged up to kill. They sent army to his house. These guys are evil. They all know their times is up, they are now trying to play the angel advocates. Theives! Referendum now

Thank you God bless you.
Not like one onye ara that's up there shouting and doing IMO State upandan.

If the SE leaders can get a way to negotiate for amnesty for the Esn ,and have them reinstalled in to our internal security system, it will be a big bonus to security in Igboland.

There are too many Ipob apologist in imo state, every nook and cranny.

That's why the situation is not getting any better.

Many of them...#fact which you yourself know.

This governor's are part of the issues.
Part of the achievement of Okezie Ikpeazu is that he attracted Domino's pizza to Aba.

Do you mean the same IMO that came out to protest against the killing of police and security that have been appraised by ipob and it's leader mnk or are you talking about another IMO state?��.
You are beginning to sound incoherent like ipob members here all bcus you want to project your hate for IMO state.

Noted

Good points though....

But where you not in Nigeria when fg arrested MNK?
Declared IPOB a terrorist organisation?
Python dance happened on peaceful protesters?

What did you do?
You South East governors failed to set up SE regional security system to counter criminal Fulani herdsmen...

However , his opinions are valid.
To MNK there are some words of wisdom here.

"[/b]If you're taking up arms against the Nigerian State , what capacity do you have to conclude it?[b]
The boundaries of the South East and Northern Nigeria is not in Ekwulobia , Orlu or Umuahia. In other words if the battle ground will be in South East then you have scored an own goal even before kick off.

My take.... amendment/restructuring is the way.

Here , we have to work with our representatives in the national assembly and governors. Southern governors came together in Asaba to ban open grazing. Even though the East and West normally vote in opposite directions at least they have similar values and economic interest. Yeah , afonja and nyamiri will have to reach a common ground if we're going to achieve political/economic restructuring.

Cardinal Arinze will agree with me.

use zoom

Engage the teacher's and pensioners u owe for years before engaging MNK
