Biafra: Ibo Leaders Can Never Support Kanu – Gov. Okorocha

The Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha has outrightly condemned the agitations of the Indigenous People of Biafrans, IPOB as it does have the support of the Ibo community.

Speaking in Benue state yesterday, the Governor who is also the Chairman of APC governors advised that IPOB as an issue should be quickly address ‘specifically’ before it becomes a national menace.

He restated the agitations of the Biafrans for secession is not in anyway an Ibo affairs because no sane leader of the South will support the course of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB.

“I have always said that IPOB is an agitation group, but the captioning is bad when you talk of sovereignty within a sovereign nation and also talking of secession.”

“Let me assure you that no Ibo person or man is in support of secession and people must see this as a childish act. We must stand up to address it before it becomes a national problem.

“As for us leaders in that area, it will be insane for anyone to think that the IPOB leader will ask us to follow him to seek secession.

“So Nigerians must learn to address it specifically. If you are addressing IPOB you should be specific and not to address it as if it is an Ibo affair.”
