We’re Ready For Dialogue, South-East Govs Tell IPOB

South-East governors have said they are ready to engage in dialogue with the Indigenous People of Biafra to resolve their differences.

The Chairman of the South-East Governors’ Forum, Chief David Umahi, told Punch News correspondent that they never proscribed IPOB, but rather they banned their activities in the region

Gov Umahi said, “IPOB are our children. They are our brothers and sisters. They fight for their fight on the pages of newspapers and social media, and it does not help. The best thing is for all of us to sit down and talk. The governors are ready to speak with them.

“They should have a way of coming home or convene a meeting and the governors will attend anywhere they want. Let us sit down and discuss it. And they should know that the governors did not proscribed them, they lack constitutional powers to proscribed them. They only banned their activities in the region where they have jurisdiction.”
