Another tribal issue!

  Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has
lambasted South East governors and political
leaders “for trading off Ndigbo for personal and
selfish interest.”
The group claimed that by hanging around the All
Progressives Congress, APC, led Federal
Government, the governors were doing so at the
detriment of their Igbo brothers and sisters.
IPOB in a statement by its Media and Publicity
Officer, Mr. Emma Powerful, claimed that South East
governors and politicians, members and non
members of APC had so much compromised
themselves or kept quiet for one political favour or
the other.
It said the development had made them to turn
blind to the killings in Igbo land by Fulani herdsmen.
According to the statement: “The first attack by
Fulani herdsmen in Enugu state that resulted to the
arrest of over 76 persons who were searching for the
whereabouts of their loved ones after the attack, and
their subsequent arrest by the security agents,
particularly the police and detaining them at Police
Zone 9 Umuahia and subsequently arraignment was
not condemned by the South East governors and
politicians, and that emboldened them for the next
attack in the state of Ukpabi Nimbo community in
the state.
“IPOB worldwide therefore is constrained to raise
accusing fingers on the Governors and politicians in
the South East over the killing of our people.
“The Governors and the politicians used the life of
their brothers and subjects to play game of politics,
trading them off to the APC government for crumbs
they are expecting from the government that has
nothing to offer Nigerians let alone Igbo Governors
and politicians.
“If that is not the case, how do you explain a
situation communities were attacked and instead of
the people that attacked them being arrested, the
relations and victims of the attacked were arrested
and detained by a government that claim to be
responsible.
“Yet, the state Chief executives and their politicians
kept quiet and were clapping and praising the
government that is humiliating their people.
“IPOB, other Biafra actualization agitating groups
expected these politicians, the governors, the
National Assembly members and other South East
political appointees and others close to the corridors
of power to stoutly react against the injustice, but
they never did .
“Today, we are talking about another attack that
claimed the lives of over 40 persons in the same
state and nothing is being done to assuage the
pains of the people, while a blatant lie by the
Department of State Service, DSS, that five Fulani
herdsmen were killed and buried in Abia State.
“This unsettled the country, and the South East
governors, and politicians were never moved by the
killing of over 20 and arrest of their over 76, and
now the recent killing of over 40 people at Nimbo,”
he said.
