The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has called on the Ebonyi State Governor, Engr. Dave Umahi, to stop courting the wrath of the people by choosing to swim against the tide.
The group said on Tuesday that the governor’s decision to sabotage the efforts of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) personnel who were working tirelessly to rid Ebonyi State of killer herdsmen and terrorists has portrayed him as an enemy of the people.
A statement by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said: “Gov Umahi is fully aware that the same Fulani killer herdsmen he is protecting have recently renamed Agbabor community close to Uburu town in Onicha LGA to Aruu. What has he done to reverse this affront? Instead of hiding his face in shame that terrorists are now renaming Ebonyi Communities under his watch, Umahi is busy threatening patriotic Biafrans who are merely exposing the atrocities of Fulani herdsmen in their communities.
“It is the height of foolery that Gov Dave Umahi will support foreign Fulani terrorist herdsmen against his own people that voted for him. Does Dave Umahi not know that our mothers for years now have been afraid of going to their farms for fear of being raped by Fulani terrorists and other evil activities of Miyetti Allah?”
IPOB described the media report of the statement credited to Umahi where he reportedly ordered the arrest of innocent locals who had in a viral video exposed the latest atrocities of Fulani terrorist herdsmen in Ebonyi communities, as madness taken too far.
While expressing no surprise at the governor’s action, the group wondered why a sitting governor would rather choose to dine with the oppressors of his own people just for the derisive promise of an illusory vice presidential candidacy to a Fulani presidential candidate in 2023.
IPOB accused the governor and some other eastern politicians of being aware of the incessant killings, rapes and other atrocities in Ebonyi communities by Fulani herdsmen and terrorists more than they are willing to admit.
It added: “We advise Gov. Umahi and his Miyetti Allah handlers to make sure nothing happens to citizens of Ebonyi State who are within their rights to share the said video. Biafrans will hold him and his family responsible should any harm befall any individual as a result of his wish to serve his Fulani masters.
“We also warn traditional rulers and President Generals recruited by governors in the South East against ESN personnel to retrace their steps, otherwise they will eternally regret their action.
“Gov Umahi and his co-traitors should stop provoking the masses or else they will not survive the avalanche of rage that is coming.
“The masses are now wiser and ever ready to hand down mob justice to those working against their collective interest, especially politicians.”
