SOUTH EAST GOVERNORS CONDEMNS ATTACK ON EKEREMADU, OTHER IGBO LEADERS

The Governor forum Chairman who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Emma Uzo, said that the Governors had no problem with the members of the outlawed group to warrant such an order to attack Ekeremadu.

“If there is any issue IPOB holds against the Governors, they should come home to settle it in Igboland instead of a foreign land. What happened was a security issue which was within the purview of the Federal Government’.

‘Attacking Governors in a foreign land is a wild goose chase. We love them because they are our children. IPOB cannot achieve Biafra alone, except with the collaboration of all stakeholders including the Governors. They don’t need to attack the Governors to achieve Biafra.”

The Governors’ forum warned the members of the proscribed body not to allow political opportunists to use them to destroy the South-East, stressing, “they should come together and work with the Governors and the Ohanaeze Ndigbo to achieve the Igbo Presidency come 2023 instead of fighting the Governors. We want them to be close to us instead of taking the struggle to the international arena,” .

Penpushing further reports that, the forum described the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) threats as empty, saying the Group lacked the powers to track down any South-East Governor anywhere in the world.

“They have no such spread and powers to track down South-East Governors for attack anywhere in the world. They are too small. I don’t want to say they sound so cowardly, but they can’t see the Governors to attack,” he added.
