IPOB Reacts To Attack On Imo Governor

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have dissociated themselves from the recent assault on Chief Ikedi Ohakim, the former governor of Imo State.

The Biafra organization claimed that the attack on the former governor was politically motivated and not just a random act of violence in a statement released on Wednesday by its spokesman, Emma Powerful.

The group claimed that the attack was planned by the state’s political gladiators, who were driven to assassinate political rivals in order to further their careers.

The statement read: “The attack was masterminded by the political gladiators in Imo State, who were desperate to murder political opponents in the state to further their own careers.

“The attack on Chief Ikedi Ohakim is uncalled for, and we must stand tall in protecting our people. Not every politician is wicked; Ohakim is one of the peaceful people among the politicians in the Eastern region.

“IPOB totally condemns the recent attack on Ohakim. We understand that the attack was planned to achieve a political goal by the enemies of Imo indigenes, because they want to bring their opponents in the state down and push them into submission.”
