‘Attack S/East Leaders And Face Our Wrath,’ Governors Reply Kanu

South-east Governors Forum have warned the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, against any attack on leaders of the region that travel abroad.

The governors said this in reaction to statement by the IPOB leader that members of the group will attack governors from the eastern part of Nigeria and other leaders from the region that travel abroad.

Recall that members of the group had attacked former deputy senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, in Germany where he went to attend an occasion where he was invited as a keynote speaker.

The governors said they would make sure Kanu is repatriated back to Nigeria to face the wrath of our people if he carries out the threats.

The governors said, “South-east governors are saddened with the ugly display and dance of shame by IPOB in Germany in attacking one of the finest leaders of Ndigbo, Senator Ike Ekweremadu. We totally condemn it as we weep for them as they never knew the implication of their naked dance in public.

“We have also noted the empty threats by Mr. Nnamdi Kanu (a former ordinary Member of MASSOB) to attack governors of South-east, Ohanaeze leadership and other Igbo politicians for not supporting the self-acclaimed supreme leader in his self-fight for the raw power and wealth while pretending to be fighting for Ndigbo.

“We wish to warn that should any Southeast person be attacked anywhere in the world, we shall, by all means, bring back Kanu to Nigeria to face the wrath of our people. It is madness for anyone who wants raw power with no experience to think that we Governors will support the killing of our people giving out our scarce land to herdsmen.

“If Kanu is serious, let him direct IPOB to fight those foreign killer herdsmen in their countries of origin since he claims the IPOB is in over 100 countries in the world.

“If Kanu who was previously in MASSOB but needed power and money wants Biafra and he is the self-acclaimed supreme leader, let him come back home with his army and guns to lead us to battle for the empire he desire to lead other than cheap talks. Soonest Ndigbo will know him better,” the governors said.
