IPOB: IPOB Condemns David Umahi Claims Over Alleged Kidnap Statement by Kahujadekadura(op): 12:29am On Jan 08, 2019
IPOB Alleges South-East Governors’ Plan To Arrest Members With Soldiers


Jeff Amechi Agbodo, Onitsha

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has alleged that governors in the South East region have perfected plans to use soldiers deployed to the zone to abduct, arrest and possibly kill top IPOB leaders and members of the group.

The body said that the plot was because of IPOB’s resolve to boycott next month’s presidential elections.

The Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful, in a statement, said he wondered why South East governors had till date never called on the army to attack violent Fulani groups attacking every community in Biafraland but was always in the habit of wishing death for IPOB members.

Powerful, while dismissing the allegation of Ebonyi State governor, Chief Dave Umahi, that IPOB members were threatening to kill South East governors, described the allegation as frivolous and unfounded.

He said: “Those of them parading themselves as South East governors have perfected plan to use soldiers deployed to the South East to abduct, arrest and preferably kill top IPOB leaders in Biafraland or anybody suspected to be IPOB member because of IPOB’s resolve to boycott next month’s presidential elections.”

“Boko Haram is ravaging the North where this same brave army has been humiliated countless times but Igbo governors slavishly invited them into our land to fight IPOB instead.

“Years of betrayal and the sacrilegious act committed by Igbo governors and Ohaneze against their people through Operation Python Dance is what will kill them not IPOB. Their Fulani masters cannot save them. This crop of Igbo governors will be recorded in history as the worst of the very worst.

“We condemn in its entirety, the frivolous, unsubstantiated and perverse statement from David Umahi of Ebonyi State against a movement like IPOB. It appears anytime a quisling wants to renew his slave status with the northern masters he singles out IPOB for verbal assault.

“We consider the statement credited to Umahi as symptomatic of the shameful and complicit role these Igbo governors have continued to play towards the death of unarmed Biafrans.

“Their stock in trade is treachery and betrayal but unfortunately for them, we IPOB will match them every step of the way until their treacherous scheme is brought to an end. Isn’t it sad that Dave Umahi and his fellow quislings never foresaw Fulani herdsmen’s invasion of our land but are quick to invite the army to occupy and kill us Biafrans as usual?”

I've said it, that a huge part of our problem as Igbos is our 'one Nigeria' elite that are always quick to throw their own under the bus just to please their Fulani masters!

You actually think that these Fulani would have spent one second longer than necessary in Nigeria if they had been treated the way Ndigbo have been since the late 60s? They'd have hightailed it out of here and threatened you with dagger if you held their arm to prevent them from leaving! sad

When the Igbos we’re enjoying the alliance of the North in the 60s, by even forming the alliance with north against the West nothing was wrong back then, Their leaders were preaching One Nigeria.... But once they’re schemed out of things they remember that they’re been treated badly by their once good Allies.... You can’t eatvyou cake and have it....

You've gone off on a tangent mate!

Who the fuc/k is talking of stupid alliances here? I'm talking of our Igbo elite fighting our corner, and not making callous and insensitive statements like the one Umahi made....it's got nothing to do with whether Ndigbo are in or out of gov't! Some of his kinsmen have been murdered in cold blood by the very bastards he was talking to!

If you're smarting over the so called 'alliance' between us and the Hausa-Fulani in the 60s, then i'd advice you take it up with Zik....you're talking to the wrong Igbo on this one!

Just read that your post again, and maybe it would begin to dawn on you just what the problem is with Nigeria: always stuck in the past....arguing what this persons grandparents did to that persons grandparents! How the hell can you move forward when you're obsessed with looking in the rear view mirror!

Go and read about the Alliance between Zik and Ahmadu Bello during the first republic even when an agreement has been reached with the AG of the SW to form a government but Zik left the SW delegates in Asaba and went to Kaduna to sign an accord with the Northerners.... Please do little research
