INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA PRAISES GOVERNOR FAYOSE

Still leaking its wounds over what it

called irresponsible and senseless killing of

their members, the Indigenous People of

Biafra IPOB on Thursday told South East

governors, politicians and those who claim to

be Ibo and non Ibo elder statesmen to emulate

the Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state for

being outspoken and condemning the killing of

non violent Biafran agitators.

In a statement signed by IPOB Media and

Publicity Officer Mr. Emma Powerful the group

said if responsible Nigerians have prevailed

on President Muhammadu Buhari to do the

right thing by releasing its leader and Director

of Radio Biafra, just as condemning the

wanton killing of non violent people who

protest or agitate for what is their rights, the

killing of innocent people would have been

averted.

IPOB said it has high esteem for Governor

Fayose, who has shown that he is the only

detribalized politician after the late Owelle of

Onitsha Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, that is still living

and does not play politics with the lives of

any citizen of Nigeria.

Fayose has shown that he does not play

politics after electioneering campaign and

election, he knows what governance is all

about, unlike every other Nigerian Governor, or

politician or President and ex-President, no

wonder at every point in time his people in

Ekiti State will come out to stake their lives

for him.

“We are telling the people of Ekiti state that

they have a son in whom the Biafrans and

IPOB and other Biafra agitators are well

pleased with, this is not because he

condemned the Federal Government of Nigeria

for killing IPOB other Biafran and non Biafran

agitators, but because he equally condemned

the killing by Fulani herdsmen in Agatu in

Benue and Nimbo in Enugu States and others.

“He has equally stood tall by single handily

and constructively criticizing the All

Progressive Congress, APC, government in all

their irresponsible and anti Nigeria’s policies

when his party members and other Nigerian

politicians have been afraid and intimidated

not to talk for fear of being arrested for one

alleged corrupt act or the other” he said.
