Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha yesterday warned the Igbo nnot to fall for the deception of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu over the actualization of Biafra.
He warned that the Igbo would
lose not less than N3 trillion I assets and cash should there e another war.
Okorocha, who spoke at the
presentation of staff of office and Certificate of recognition to traditional
rulers, lamented that traditional rulers had kept mute while the cloud
gathered over activities of Biafra agitators.
He said: “On IPOB, the cloud is
gathering, nobody is talking, even our traditional rulers, pastors and leaders.
This is bad for our people. If you will remember vividly that few years ago,
during the civil War, it was a similar story. That was how it all started. At
that time, we believed that the Ohafia warriors would be able to fight and
disseminate the North”.
Okorocha added: “Now we are being
deceived that IPOB will drive away Nigeria and give us Biafra. Even our
Pastors, men of God and some leaders in the rural areas, nobody is speaking out
against this action and the song of war is coming gradually like a desert
encroachment. We fought the war and it was believed that the Igbos would learn
from it but they still went ahead and developing the resources of other
regions.
“There are five million Igbo
living outside the shores of Igbo region. Any form of war will cause the Igbos
over three trillion naira loss in properties and assets. No sane person will
spread the message of division and war because it does not benefit the Igbo in
any way. I urge you traditional rulers to speak against it and educate your
people on the true state of things. Igbo need to build bridge of unity across
the nation”.
Enugu, Southeast governors

okorocha is the one deceiving ndigbo not nnandi kanu
ReplyDeleteYes, Okoro-awusa is the one deceiving Ndigbo while Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is delivering Ndigbo and entire Biafrans from the slavery and bondage of the murderous sharia Islamic republic of Nigeria.
