Ebonyi state Governor, Engr. David Umahi, on Sunday said Ebonyi state was not part of the states that formed the “Sovereign States of Biafra,” which had been proclaimed by the Indigenous People of Biafra.

Umahi, who also serves as Chairman of the South East

Governors’ Forum, however said some of the agitations of IPOB members were genuine, except that the approach used in actualising their objectives were bad.

Umahi also raised the alarm of an alleged threat of kidnap on the five governors of the zone by the group and added that the fresh threat was received via text messages, sent to his wife.

He spoke on Sunday at the Nkwegu Military Cantonment in Abakaliki, the state capital, during the inauguration of Operation Python Dance (Egwu Eke) phase III, by the Nigerian Army.

He said, “The GOC, you are coming at a time we had our brothers and sisters of IPOB sending text messages tha, there will be no elections and insulting the leaders, particularly the South-East governors.

Just few days back, they sent text message to my wife that the five governors of the South-East would be kidnapped and that their security would be overpowered and that after ransoms were paid, they would kill them and kill themselves.

“That is laughable; although as a leader in the zone, I must say that some of their complaints are genuine; but the approach is very bad. That is why the leaders of south east are not in support of their approach.”

“So, we are not against them, but their approach. And as the Chief Security of the state, I do not welcome them; Ebonyi state is not part of Biafra, we are a sovereign state, and we don’t want to be colonised again, as we are a state demanding better treatment in the affairs of our nation.”

And so is coming to pass

I have been saying this.......they called it hate.

More evidence will emerge from ebonyi.......to lay credence to my claim.

LLobiorah:



Yes!! Ebonyi is not part of Biafra, likewise same way Obiano and ikpeazu allowed ipob to be arrested in and dehumanized in their states. Oh!! Need I remind you of what the police did to those women under APc government of rochas??

You are really troublesome being, and if Ebonyi matter no give you heart attack!! My brother, i dunno what else.

Osagyefo98:


Didn't u read what the Governor said.....he said ebonyi was never part of biafra....

Is not my words....but his....

It was same ebonyi state that connived with FG and proscribed IPOB.....

Now he is making issues clear.

So in essence we have four igbo. States in SE and ebonyi is not part as said by umahi....rightly saying Ebonyi are not igbos.

LLobiorah:


Yes I read it clearly. That under this political dispensation of survival, what do you expect Umahi to do? Ebonyi people have contributed their own quota during the civil war and after it. So don't deny these people of their igboness ok, because of her leader's view.

Besides, when the other eastern governors such as Obiano allowed those killings in Anambra, of which Ebonyi people also fell... Why didn't you posit that Anambra ain't igbo??
I swear bro, You are a hypocrite!

Osagyefo98:





Am now a hypocrite coz am umahi that. Made the statement.

Umahi said ebonyi is not part of biafra which means ebonyi is not an igbo state.....that is to say in SE today we only have four igbo states.

For christ sake, is umahi that made the statement not me.......

Ebonyi state has contributed their own quota I agree as they are not biafrans and was the first to proscribe Ipob....

Truth pains.

LLobiorah:


Yes truth pains, when he prescribed Biafra and no violence is carried out by the military, how much more arrests? But in your esteemed four corner states, violence and killings happen all time, as supported by your governors!!

Who's fooling who??

Besides, even your savior Nnamdi Manu, can and would never do away with Ebonyi, a stronghold. Just he is annexing the south south with his mouth, tho they hardly acknowledge him self!! So how much more an insignificant being like you, to determine the fate of ebonyians because of umahi s talks??

Truth pains harder!!

Hector09:
Igbos regard the eboyians as an osu, they dont see them as human, umahi is spot on in this case, cus u wont go to people that see u as a sub human, they discriminate against them alot

Edodefender:
They can't even take their own fellow Igbo state but want to take delta

SMH

Osagyefo98:


Well I didn't take it personal....i just re-echoed what umahi said and if am not mistake or let me ask....

Which. Ethnic group are ebonyians

Coz as east is concern biafra is has igbos in it and which ebonyi is not one.

So who are ebonyians?

LLobiorah:


Shey Ebonyi was created from these other igbo states?? If Ebonyi is OSU and subhuman; then Anambra, imo, Abia and enugu are OSU and subhuman.

Is no rocket science!

LLobiorah:



When you ask your runaway master Nnamdi kanu; when you wake up Ojukwu; when you wake up Akanu Ibiam; when you wake up Aka Nwachukwu; when you wake up Nnamdi Azikiwe and other great igbo men.
Then come for a reply..

Yyeske:
Fact is most Igbos want Biafra but not with the IPOB approach and the governor never said Ebonyians are not Igbos in any way, they don't support IPOB idea like most Igbos.

LLobiorah:



Osagyefo.. No be about cancelation of Anambra!
As far as you can't cut off the tendons that kept Ebonyi with igbo land; Anambra as well as enugu, imo, and Abia are all OSU and subhuman..

Onye nkogheri!

Osagyefo98:


The reason edo state has not developed is because. Of principalities and powers and agents of darkness speaking against the state since 1830 even uptill this day.....


Pls pray for edo state as they evil powers have gathered again, against them.

helinues:
I guess Ebonyi is also not part of SE states.

Osagyefo98:



Guy u funny oooo

U leave umahi and be attacking, more like u supporting his view.

Wonders shall never cease and I just see one now.

Osagyefo98:


Exactly, they are not.

LLobiorah:


Just do what I told you. Wake up these great men, or inform NK, that Ebonyi is not igbos or part of south east, then you earn yourself a reply.
