Recall that Senator Ike Ekweremmadu was at the weekend attacked and assaulted at Nuremberg Germany where he was invited as keynote Speaker and special guest of honour at the occasion of annual new yam festival and convention of Ndigbo in Germany.
Few minutes after the attack, IPOB claimed responsibility in a press statement released by its spokesperson,Emma Powerful
This was also followed by a broadcast by Kanu through the group’s rogue radio in which he also corroborated the earlier statement and maintained that the Southeast Governors and other Igbo politicians must receive Ekweremmadu’s treatment any time they are seen in public abroad.
The attack on Ekweremadu by IPOB has received condemnation from all quarters and South-East Governors in the statement described the attack by IPOB as a display of shame and ignorance.
The Governors said they have noted the threats of Kanu who they alleged is fighting for his self interest but pretending to be fighting for Ndigbo and would soonest expose him if he doesn’t retrace his steps.
They said if Kanu is serious let him direct his members whom he claimed live in over 100 countries to fight the foreign killer herdsmen in those countries.
They however, assured the people of the region that they would continue to protect them against killer herdsmen and other insecurity; and won’t be distracted by cheap talks.
The statement read: “South-East Governors are saddened with the ugly display and dance of shame by IPOB in Germany in attacking one of the finest leaders of Ndigbo, Senator Ike Ekweremmadu. We totally condemn it as we weep for them as they never knew the implication of their naked dance in public.
“We have also noted the empty threats by Mr. Nnamdi Kanu (a former ordinary Member of MASSOB) to attack Governors of South-East, Ohanaeze leadership and other Igbo politicians for not supporting the self-acclaimed supreme leader in his self-fight for the raw power and wealth while pretending to be fighting for Ndigbo.
“We wish to warn that should any Southeast person be attacked anywhere in the world, we shall, by all means, bring back Kanu to Nigeria to face the wrath of our people. It is madness for anyone who wants raw power with no experience to think that we Governors will support the killing of our people giving out our scarce land to herdsmen.
“If Kanu is serious, let him direct IPOB to fight those foreign killer herdsmen in their countries of origin since he claims the IPOB is in over 100 countries in the world.
“If Kanu who was previously in MASSOB but needed power and money wants Biafra and he is the self-acclaimed supreme leader, let him come back home with his army and guns to lead us to battle for the empire he desire to lead other than cheap talks. Soonest Ndigbo will know him better.
“We assure our people that we are doing so much to protect them against killer herdsmen and other insecurity problems. We have also been kidnapping and cultism in the Southeast to near zero level.
“We are highly committed to the security and well-being of our people and will never be distracted by cheap talks”.

This governor(s) should just keep kwayet! They are not south east leaders.
ReplyDeleteThey are south east looters. Kanu is not threatening, there are people, aggrieved people abroad and in s/e who are so willing to lynch them because of their looting, their docility and complicity in
the slaughter that's going on.
Oh Lord...let this not be an Igbo matter. It has to be a Nigerian matter.
ReplyDeleteIt will get to that but lets start with our own first, maybe other tribe will receive sense and courage to stand up too.
DeleteSparkle, there's a video online currently trending now as IPOB chased the Nigerian foreign minister in Austria. The momentum is building up.
DeleteHehehe, when they start on themselves, the rest of Nigeria that they claim they are better than will just sit back, relax and watch the movie.
DeleteI am don't want to sound insulting here to people old enough to be my father, so I will choose my words carefully.
ReplyDeleteIf you dare someone of what they're capable of doing, then the onus lies on you to show face or trespass where they challenge you to. So I dare them all to travel and see. We just don't make threat but keep to it. We are the revolution coming soon.
I wish it wasn't Ekweremadu they started with but Umahi who have shown absolutely no regard for his people, simply for his interest to be projected as the vice president come 2023 under the platform of APC. Who have they protected? How many killers herdsmen have they dealt with or prosecute? When they killed our sisters and mothers especially the one from Imo state the evangelist at Kubwa in Abuja or the one in Kano, did Rochas or Eastern governors fight for their justice? The Nimbo killings and corpses found in Ezu river in Anambra, did the governors investigate and bring perpetrators of those gruesome death to book?
So where actually is the protection they are talking about?
Talk is veeeerrry cheap. Don't just say it. Dare him and lets see what happens. This is not about Kanu. Its about aggrieve individuals. We stayed under the sun and rain to vote for you. During campaign. You visited our huts, eat corn with us. After election. We only hear your siren. Anyone that comes closer to the siren is declared dead on arrival. We are not asking you for your salary. Please give us the community development money that you are collecting on our behalf. Don't just go to the high or low chambers to sleep. Speak in our favour.. Do what we sent you there to do.. Is it too much to ask?
ReplyDeleteThis Ebonyi man is a slowpoke. You will wxpose hin if he doesn't teyrace his steps. Indeed! If you have any evidence against NK, why not nail now. Why wait? IPOB have issued their treat, and we have heard you. Ngwanu enter plane go Dem boundry. As the Okaa Omee of the Eastern Governors, oys Bell the cat now. Doing do much to protect who? Ndi nzuzu!
