Joe Igbokwe, an aide to Governor
Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, has urged southeast governors, lawmakers and
Ohanaeze Ndigbo to checkmate the excesses of the Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB.
Igbokwe gave the call while
condemning the October 1 sit-at-home order by IPOB and the removal of Nigerian
flags from the southeast.
He pointed out that IPOB’s
decision to remove Nigeria’s flag from the southeast was an affront to the
corporate existence of the country.
The All Progressives Congress,
APC, stated this in a post on his Facebook page entitled: “A call for peace,
tranquility and sanity in Igboland as Nigeria clocks 61.”
According to Igbokwe: “IPOB’s
threat to attack the Nigerian Flag on October 1st, 2021 in the southeast should
not be treated with Kids gloves. The sit-at-home order on that special day, and
independence day is an affront to the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This is an
attack on the corporate existence of Nigeria as a political entity and no
Nation big or small will take this threat lightly.
“ACTIONS CARRY CONSEQUENCES!!!
The South East Governors, Senators, HORs, South East State Assemblies, the
Speakers, Ohaneze Leadership, First Class Traditional Rulers, the Egg Heads,
University Teachers, Business Tycoons, Intelligentsia, Market leaders,
prominent politicians etc should rise up to check IPOB excesses in Igboland.
“Our people are relocating out of
South East to Delta State and some other States for fear of attacks and
assaults by heartless IPOB bandits. They have killed policemen, attacked police
formations, burnt police patrol vans, killed soldiers, killed priests, they
have killed our people, looted their shops and countless atrocities which time
and space will not permit me to mention here.
“Those who are pushing for this
brigandage in the South East are the lowest of the low in Igboland. They do not
represent the thinking and aspirations of the vibrant SE citizens. I repeat
that an attack on Nigeria’s Flag is an attack on Nigeria.”
