South-East governors have said they are ready to engage in dialogue with the Indigenous People of Biafra to resolve their differences.

IPOB had threatened to attack South-East governors and other Igbo leaders outside the country after beating former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, in Germany for allegedly working their interest.

The Chairman of the South-East Governors’ Forum, Chief David Umahi, told our correspondent on Thursday that they never proscribed IPOB, but rather they banned their activities in the region.

The Ebonyi State governor, who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Emma Uzo, asked IPOB to convene a meeting and invite the governors for discussions.

He said, “IPOB are our children. They are our brothers and sisters. They fight for their fight on the pages of newspapers and social media, and it does not help. The best thing is for all of us to sit down and talk. The governors are ready to speak with them.

“They should have a way of coming home or convene a meeting and the governors will attend anywhere they want. Let us sit down and discuss it. And they should know that the governors did not proscribed them, they lack constitutional powers to proscribed them. They only banned their activities in the region where they have jurisdiction.”

IPOB on Wednesday through Aloy Ejimakor, counsel for Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, wrote to the governors, giving conditions for peace to reign.

The group in the letter, titled ‘Operation Python Dance: An Open Letter To South-East Governors’, demanded “immediate and unconditional de-proscription of IPOB and delisting it as a terrorist organisation. A truth and reconciliation commission on the Python Dance lethal military operations of September 2017.”

The separatist group added, “A public apology for the extrajudicial killing of IPOB members and desecration of the palace of an Igbo traditional ruler at Afaraukwu, Abia State. A genuine dialogue with IPOB on its referendum demand for the restoration of Biafra and discontinuance of the ongoing prosecution of IPOB members and forbearance of any future arrests and prosecutions.”

But the governors said the group were channelling their demands to the wrong people.

Umahi said, “Why can’t they channel their grievances straight to the Federal Government? So, that demand is dead on arrival. It is not the governors that will apologise to them but rather they should apologise to the governors and Ndigbo.”

On whether they will lift the ban on IPOB activities in the zone, Umahi said the issue would be discussed at the meeting (convened by IPOB).

After embarassing and harassing Buhari in Japan this is a ploy to get them here within Buhari reach.

We are saying the same thing.. So, everyone should maintain Status quo

The Governors' should stay at home, simple.

These governors are dumb! They may not have proscribed IPOB but they gave their wholehearted approval and buy in. If they are serious they ought to first approach the FG and work towards getting that illegal proscription order lifted before asking IPOB to convene a meeting.

Since they are not muslim/fulani highway robbers, kidnappers and terrorists like the herdsmen and BH that the FG and northern state governors will rather hobnob and negotiate with, it's certain the FG will want to use them for target practice just to humiliate them.

They are lying since IPOB pretty much have the support of the people more so than them.

They were the first to proscribe IPOB in the region. If I recall correctly, Boofari government claimed it was SE governors that told them to proscribe IPOB nationally.

If SE governors actually care about dialogue with IPOB, they would have went to Kanu instead of asking IPOB to "return home". Ndi Aras. Travel out and go their headquarters. They don't hide where they are.

Lol. And they haven't dialogued with IPOB members having meeting in their states like every week?

Very stupid Governors. They sold their own brothers. Look the governors in the North dinning with killer bandits. These south east governors are worst form of woman governor.

Which home?

Home with still Up Nepa
No good roads
How about security?

Come Germany and eat yam we will welcome you.

IPOB appears to be the only thing these South East governors and leaders fear.

The group should leverage on their current position to demand optimal performance from these leaders.

Demand accountability and prudence from them or else they be invited for Compulsory 'Yam Festivals' abroad.

They fight for their fight on the pages of newspapers and social media, and it does not help

chest beating is in their blood. I don't know why they have not felled 100 southafricans in retaliation for nd'igbo killed in SA.


They have a huge presence on the internet where they beat their chest endlessly.

IPOB should listen to their SE Governments and cooperate. The SE Traditional Rullers should participate in the Meeting too.


IPOB should please be careful or else Nigeria will accuse them of Sabotage and deliberately spearheading and causing Xenophobia that started in SA.

goodnessme1:

They are calling for peaceful reconciliation. You should meet with them even if they come abroad. They realize their mistake and want to amend with Kanu.
