We Never Accused FG of Killing IPOB Members – South-east Govs
The South-East Governors’ Forum on Thursday described a report that it accused the Federal Government of killing members of Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) members as untrue, describing it as “tissues of lie from the pit of hell.”
Chairman of the Forum, Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi further described the report as a figment of the imagination of the writer in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Emmanuel Uzor.
According to the Governor, “The originators of the falsehood are trying to sabotage the process of moving the zone forward and achieve lasting peace in it.”
“The writer and his paymasters, failed to appreciate the peace agreements reached between the Governors’ Forum and leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, during its last meeting in Enugu.
“The forum, therefore, wishes to assure the public that the communiqué raised during its last meeting with IPOB leadership still stands and anybody circulating any contrary report is Ndigbo’s real enemy.
“Such reports should, therefore, be disregarded as there was no such meeting against the Federal Government by the forum,” Umahi said, noting that the report quoted him as issuing the statement at a time he was outside the country on an investment drive for the development of Ebonyi state.
Governor Umahi said, “The Forum is working in synergy with the Federal Government and other federating units towards economic and regional integration and development of the South-east region.”
