IPOB Already ‘Sentenced’ South-East Govs To Death – Ikpeazu
- The governor cautioned IPOB against instigating a civil war in the country, hinting that violence would not favour anyone
Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu, has said the issues of marginalisation and inequality raised by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, are valid.
Ikpeazu, however, faulted the methods being employed by IPOB, urging the secessionist group to explore dialogue and a peaceful way to seek redress.
The governor, who stated this during a visit to the Osasu Igbinedion pan-African television studio in Abuja on Thursday night, said IPOB had placed all the governors of the South-East under fatwa (death sentence).

He said: “People are beginning to think now that some of the issues raised by Nnamdi (Kanu) are valid, if they were issues of injustice, marginalisation and inequality, any part of society has a right to begin to feel cheated or unwanted.
“So, some of those things which Nnamdi said are valid. Some of us can see it. We cannot continue to hide behind a finger. But some of us do not subscribe to his style or strategy, because I do not understand where he is going and how he is going and when he plans to pull the break (-up) and what he wants to achieve.

“If I have a way of conveying my views to the leadership of that group, what I will say is that they should find a way to enter into conversation and let people know.
“I am under their fatwa now and some of my brother governors. They say, ‘If you see them, kill them.’”
The governor also cautioned IPOB against instigating a civil war in the country, hinting that violence would not favour anyone.
Ikpeazu said the insecurity in the country should be addressed holistically, stressing the need for a change of strategy in the prosecution of the war against insurgents and bandits.
