BREAKING: Southeast Governors disown IPOB, say secessionist group not speaking for Igbos
Governors in the Southeastern part of Nigeria have declared that members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB are not speaking for the entire region on their call for secession.
The governors who met on Saturday in Enugu State to figure out ways of curbing the current security crisis bedeviling the region condemned all secession agitation in the country.
Chairman of the forum, David Umahi who stated this while addressing newsmen shortly after the meeting, said they believe in one Nigeria.
“We condemn in totality, the activities of violent secessionist groups in the South East and elsewhere.
“We firmly proclaim that we do not support them, they do not speak for South East. The impression that South-East leaders are silent over some of our youths’ agitations for secession is not correct.
“South-East Governors, Ohanaeze President, National Assembly members, notable leaders had come out publicly many times in the past to speak against such agitations.
“In order not to mismanage the unfortunate situation, South-East leaders have set up a committee to engage such youths to stop and allow elders speak to address such fears,” he said.
that is true cuz they were just doing the works of kanu and his useless agenda……….
With violence nothing can be achieved instead they should lias with their leaders and iron things out
I hope they have heard their leaders on the issue of secession and IPOB, I’m not anything from them anymore
We need to imbibe the habbit of settling issues with dialogue because without that, nowhere to go
God will take control on the issue of secession here and there and I hope the government would do the right for the citizens
