WIKE URGES COUNCIL CHAIRMEN, YOUTHS TO FISH OUT IPOB MEMBERS

Rivers state governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has charged the 23 council chairmen, and youths in the state to fish members of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples Organisation of Biafra (IPOB) in the State.

Governor has also warned that any council chairman that allows IPOB to hold processions and hoist its flag within their jurisdiction in Rivers State, risk sack.

He made this assertion during a meeting with all the 23 Local Government chairmen, Community Development Committees and youths leaders at the Government House, in Port Harcourt on Monday.

The governor described Rivers state as the most accommodating state for all Nigerians. To buttress this, he stated that here has never been any historical incident of different ethnic groups clashing in the State as has been the witnessed in other parts of the country.

"We can never be against any ethnic group. We can never do that .we have lived in harmony with the Ibos, the Hausas, and with Edo people. Everybody that comes to this state we have lived in harmony with. And so Nigerians must commend Rivers State as a place where you have never had problem between this group and that group " he said.

Governor Wike, however, maintained that while the people of Rivers State believe in the unity of the country, they will not allow criminals under the aegis of a terrorist group called IPOB to continue to threaten the stability of the state.

"There is one terrorist group they call IPOB. I did not declare them terrorist group, the court declared them terrorist group. Not me. The federal government declared them a terrorist group. IPOB cannot use Rivers state to be place where they will be launching attack. If you allow that, your future, your children's future is gone" he said .

Infuriated by IPOB's effrontery to hoist its flag in Oyigbo, the governor directed the council chairman to ensure there will not be another occurrence of this treasonous act.

"Go to Oyigbo and see what they have done. Destroyed the court. What did the court do? See the soldiers they killed and burnt them. See the policemen they killed and burnt them and then you said people will sit and fold their arms".

The governor, while calling for vigilance on the part of Rivers people, however, warned sternly that IPOB members should not delude themselves because Rivers state cannot be colonised or annexed by any group, particularly, while he is still the incumbent governor of the State.

He asserted that Rivers state can never be annexed to any state, to any zone. According to him, Rivers state is Niger Delta and will remain in Niger Delta.

He explained that while every Nigerian is allowed to reside in Rivers State, but those who wish to do so must live in peace with the people of the State.

"Ibos are living and doing their business here and they will continue to live and do their business here. We support that.
But that terrorist group call IPOB, cannot determine what happens in our state. To tell us where they own. It will never happen and we must not allow it to happen".

Governor Wike charged all chairmen of councils, youth leaders, CDCs to go into their various communities and identify all those IPOB members. He has meanwhile emphasied that nobody of Ibos extraction legitimately residing and doing business in the state must be harassed.

"But there are criminal elements that we must not allow, and the criminal elements are those who said they are IPOB members. Federal government has proscribed them, I have proscribed them" he said .

He called on the people to defend the territory of Rivers State and ensure no part of the State is annexed by a criminal organisation or terrorist organization.

"We cannot allow it. All our vigilantee groups must be encouraged. Everybody must be at alert. Work with the security agencies to make sure nothing call IPOB exist in this state. No procession. Not even a meeting anywhere. Identify where they hold meeting" he said

Rivers State Commissioner of Youth Development, Hon. Ohia Prince Obi, lauded the governor for interfacing with the youths as this will give them a sense of belonging in the affairs of the State.

The chairman, National Youth Council of Nigeria in Rivers State , Chijoke Ihunwo, appeal to Governor Wike for clemency for wanted , Stanley Mgbere, who led IPOB members to attack the palace of the king of Onne, was rejected.

those ipob members are they not oyigbo indigines?

The governor has spoken, so shall it be!

I am so disappointed in you Mr. Nyesom Wike.

How are the mighty fallen?

Its your persona that is being referred to in Proverbs 17: 28 " Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent and discerning if they hold their tongues".

Today marks the beginning of your downfall!

You cannot pick a fight with your own people - God's own people - and remain the same. Go figure from the Oba of Lagos.

Unfortunately, what has been said cannot be unsaid.

Wike will deal with that coward called kanu

Jus passing by

I am not holding up for Nyesom Wike, Nnamdi Kanu or the so-called proscribed group - IPOB.

Let's be clear: I don't think it is appropriate to call for somebody's head for whatsoever reason.

My position is that a leader should be slow to anger and not allow his action be guided by emotions for quick-tempered man would defiantly act foolishly. I feel so much pity for him now because I know, this is his downfall.

Imagine most of the indigene are IPOB and most of the vigilantes IPOB.

Interesting.

To show u level of his anger

IPOB were pronounced terrorist group while the real terrorists are named herdsmen and bandits

Beware Nigerians. This is the time to know and understand the true identity of those who cause tribalism on here, they are paid agents, they are neither from east or west. They have more than twenty accounts, they would create tribal realted topics and make tribal comments with different accounts to cause chaos between southerners. Though, they have no conscience but you can try to educate them or better ignore them. They are easy to identify, use your head brothers.

They dominates this platform, they are agents of destruction. They operates mostly in the midnight. They have no resting time until they are able to convince their oppressors.

human wants are insatiable. Gubernatorial position is not the end for him

Ipob members are confused.

If they born you well, go and challenge him in his office. He has made it clear to you that Rivers is Niger delta and can never be annexed by any state or zone. How dare you call Oyigbo, Obigbo?. You even had the audacity to hoist your flag in another man's territory after having killed security agents & burning down a law court on the order of Nnamdi kanu. Your activities as ipob have clearly proven you as terrorists, hence your pretence about not being a violent group is once again being exposed.
What happened to oba of Lagos is none of your biz, keep your madness within your house.


kiss the truth!

Are u not a Biafran supporter what is going on?

Though igbos don't want Biafra,however, the less than 2 percent that allegedly seek it should have chosen a less emotive and literate individual as leader. Kanu has two problems: Illiteracy and superstitiousness.

The leaving want the head ohmf the cat of the cat of Rivers state

Wike in clear terms is saying to the so called idiots resident in the locality of Oyigbo to desist from being arsonists. Being allowed in a state gives you no right to attack the hausa community unprovoked, killing soldiers, burning down a law court and hoisting your flag in the process. It makes you not different from the dreaded rag tag bokoharam terrorists. You're in Rivers for business and not chaos, if you had a brain, you'd distance yourself from a group giving your tribe a bad name.

kiss the truth!
