IPOB Different From Boko Haram, South East Governors Disagree With Presidency by Nobody: 8:03pm On Sep 27, 2017 |
Chairman of the South East Governors’ Forum and governor of Ebonyi State, Mr. David Umahi, has said that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) should not be likened with the dreaded Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram. The statement follows that of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, who said the group was like the Boko Haram sect. Recall also that a Federal High Court in Abuja, had declared the activities of the group as “acts of terrorism”. Umahi, in his statement, said that the group however, needs to rebrand before any dialogue would commence as its activities have been proscribed. He further said that contrary to speculations, the governors will not abandon the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu but will continue to appeal to the agitators on the need to work for a one and united Nigeria. He said, “Our situation is different from Boko Haram situation. But if anybody believes that we will abandon those boys, it is not true. “We will still be appealing to them to come back to their leaders, let us sit down and discuss. Kanu somehow raised awareness on this restructuring issue. We must give it to him. “We are not going to throw him away; we will still find a way; we will be appealing to the federal government for forgiveness. The word, IPOB, is not in agreement with me because when you say the Indigenous People of Biafra, it has its own connotation. When you say indigenous, if you go to America you talk about the indigenous people of America and that is the Red Indies that founded America. “There is no indigenous in this sense. It could be Igbo Youth Movement or association and so on and so forth. So having proscribed that and their activities, of course the federal government says it’s a terror group; we cannot dialogue with them under that name again. They’re our brothers and sisters and it’s a question of getting them to a better level of understanding and partnership.” On what will happen to anyone that wears Biafra’s insignia or carry its flag since the group has been proscribed, Umahi said the decision should be left for the president to make. “Well, there are two issues here. One is that we have appealed to Mr President to withdraw the soldiers in the South- East region at least for now for temper to cool. I am not the Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces; it’s Mr President who is. It is an appeal that we have made to him. It is his constitutional powers and rights. “So, I cannot say for certain that Operation Python Dance will not commence in Ebonyi State. I don’t have such powers. But if Mr President views it that in his own opinion that he wants to heed to our appeal, that is good. But specifically in Ebonyi State, we are appealing that everybody should be law-abiding. There’s no nation inside a nation. Even if you want Biafra, you have to get it first; become a nation before you start putting up your flag, owning your own secret service and so on and so forth.” https://thewhistler.ng/amp/story/ipob-different-bharam-seast-governors-disagree-presidency/

You want to burn down the zoo (Nigeria) but you forget that Nigeria comprised of Nigerians. Have you ever seen a group of Nigerians attack a common enemy. See Ghana vs Nigeria Jollof .. for details. that one sef na rice. IPOB was a threat to the average Nigerians hustle, our girlfriends, boyfriends, business partners, wives, kith and kin. Especially that sexy lightskinned Nigerian actoress that makes me smile everytime she bats her eyelashes.. I like girls that can complain in a sexy way. Now they want mercy. How can zoo animals give you mercy... |
