Dave Umahi: IPOB Can’t Stop Buhari From Coming To Ebonyi by Loveurneighbour(op): 9:41pm On Dec 12, 2021
Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, on Sunday, lashed out at the spokesman of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Emma Powerful, over the group’s threat to lock down the South-East region, should the President, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), visit the state.

According to Umahi, Buhari’s visit to the state was already billed for early next year, adding, however, that projects to that effect (in the state), were being executed as if he was to visit this month (December).

Umahi stated this during the State’s annual Thanksgiving Service at the Government House Chapel, Abakaliki, saying the IPOB image-maker lacked both capacity and the warfare prowess to stop Buhari from visiting the state.

Umahi said, “I saw where one misguided element that calls himself IPOB, said Mr President is not welcomed in Ebonyi. He is inconsequential and I want you to put it on social media.

“I was in Paris and I told Mr President that the leaders of the South-East would want to visit him over the issue of peace in the South-East, and I appeal to him to postpone the visit till early next year.

“But I didn’t want to tell our people, because I was urging them to keep pushing our projects as if the President was going to come this year. And I’m not sure up to three or four people knew this; so, I kept it to myself.

“So, Mr. President will come when we want him to come. That IPOB guy is an inconsequential human being. If he is serious, let him hit the wall to Ebonyi State and let him see, if he would find feet to go back.

"Somebody will sit down somewhere and be talking rubbish and they will be misguiding our children to go and be killed; but, himself will not be at the war front.

"Any of them that will talk rubbish about security in South-East, should come and lead the war. And I will also lead the war for Ebonyi State. And like David, we will always kill Goliath.

“When they talk rubbish, just ignore them. This land belongs to God.”

Recall IPOB’s Director of Media and Publicity, Emma Powerful, had in a statement, on Thursday, said the group had intelligence that President Buhari would visit Ebonyi State, threatening to shut down the South-East geopolitical zone, should that happen.

You have a very long way to go. Go and visit history; The Nigerian Civil War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970; also known as the Nigerian-Biafran War or the Biafran War)

Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, captured coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. A blockade was imposed as a deliberate policy during the ensuing stalemate which led to mass starvation.[44] During the two and half years of the war, there were about 100,000 overall military casualties, while between 500,000 and 2 million Biafran civilians died of starvation.[45]

In mid-1968, images of malnourished and starving Biafran children saturated the mass media of Western countries. The plight of the starving Biafrans became a cause célèbre in foreign countries, enabling a significant rise in the funding and prominence of international non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The United Kingdom and the Soviet Union were the main supporters of the Nigerian government, while France, Israel and some other countries supported Biafra.

Oh pls just zip that ur mouth. You disgraced who? The Daura man that doesn’t care about anyone,is someone u Ipob minions say u disgraced. I don’t know why some of u Ipob roaches keep claiming what you’re not. U didn’t disgrace Buhari,u rather halted pples means of livelihood because of foolish Ipob ego. Ipob is one useless and tactless organization that has ever emerged in the east;filled with senseless miscreants and myopic ediots. U shut down pples means of livelihood in the east d last Buhari visited,it’s been almost five months,MNK ur personal lord and savior is still under lock and chains.

Can’t u pple see how foolish y’all are?! Worst is that ur foolish Ipob empty barrels don’t represent evens quarter of the minds of igbos all over.

Useless pple that has rendered the Igbo race as a subject of mockery.

Yes,I agree that SE governors are the most useless morafvckers. But point me to where MNK has used the dirty and dilapidated roads in Abia to threaten the politicians in Abia to ‘sit up or else’...?

Where has Emma powerful ordered or given SE governors ultimatum to fix working infrastructure in their various states? None!
