You’re Not Welcome In Imo, IPOB Warns Buhari Against Visit

The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has warned President Muhammadu Buhari against visiting Imos state.

The warning was delivered by the group’s Director of Socials, Chika Edoziem, during a broadcast on Monday evening.

Edoziem in the broadcast also ordered a sit-at-home in protest of the president’s visit to the state on Thursday.

“Nigeria’s president is not welcome in Imo State, Biafra Land on Thursday, September 9, 2021.

“All the traditional rulers, all ndi iche and every Biafran should stay away from any ceremony organised by Hope Uzodimma to welcome him.”

Gov Hope Uzodinma of Imo had earlier in the week said all is set for President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to the state on Thursday, Sept. 9.

The governor disclosed this while addressing newsmen at the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Owerri, on Saturday.

Uzodinma, who spoke upon his return from an official trip to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, said that the President would commission some “significant projects” executed by his administration.

The governor said that he visited Abuja to “address some political matters and some critical issues that are supposed to be handled in Abuja.”

He listed the issues to include getting Federal Government’s assistance on the World Bank programmes on rural roads, ecological programmes, the Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management (NEWMAP) projects and other erosion control issues.

“While in Abuja, I secured approval for President Muhammadu Buhari to visit Imo on Thursday, Sept. 9, to commission some significant projects put together by the Shared Prosperity Administration.

“More to that, Imo has been able to attract additional support from Mr President on management of some ecological problems in the state,’’ he said.
