IPOB Attacks ‘Cowardly’ Southeast Governors For Rejecting Its Security Network

The Indigenous People of Biafra has berated the Southeast governors over their refusal to recognize the newly launched security network of the organization. Our correspondent reported that IPOB, last week, launched its Eastern Security Network, which it said was aimed at ensuring a crime-free Southeastern part of the country.

However, the launch did not go down well with the Southeast governors who disassociated themselves from the security network.

IPOB, in a statement issued by its media and publicity secretary, Emma Powerful, which was made available to THE WHISTLER in Owerri, said the position of the governors over the matter was ‘shameful’. Mr Powerful said, “Such a cowardly statement is nothing but a shameful display of their irredeemable enslavement and loyalty to their caliphate slave-masters who in the first place appointed them governors.

“They only further exposed their emptiness and detachment from the people. At a time when well-meaning individuals and groups from the entire southern Nigeria and Middle Belt are hailing the setting up of ESN, the so-called governors are busy advertising their opposition to the people they claim to be leading. Anyway, they never had the mandate of the people. So, we are not surprised.

“But our message to the treacherous Southeast governors and their Southsouth counterparts is that ‘the train has since left the station’ and can’t reverse its cause. It’s pretty too late to have a rethink. The people have got what they long desired, which the governors failed to give them because of selfish political interest.

“May we remind the traitors that the Eastern region cannot be sacrificed on the altar of their political interest. It’s either they key in or shape out. The East can exist without them. They should steer clear because they can’t withstand the force behind ESN. We reiterate that ESN is not a Biafran army, but a vigilante group established to protect Biafrans against terrorists. The outfit is only a child of necessity born to bridge the gap of leadership failure by both states and the federal government to protect lives and property of Biafrans who are daily dehumanised, raped and killed by Fulani herdsmen and terrorists unchallenged by any security agency.”
