The Imo
State Government has officially reacted to attempts by members of Indigenous
Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) to halt Governor Rochas Okorocha speech at the Chatham
House, London.
According
to a press release signed by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Sam
Onwuemedo, he said it was worrisome that members of
IPOB that have always given the impression that they are fighting for the
course of Igbo, would decide to storm the Chatham House to cause trouble at an
event the Governor honoured to deliver a speech on the way forward for our society.
“Indeed, if IPOB apostles would undertake to
embarrass an Igbo leader of Governor Okorocha’s status in London, then, their
claim that they are fighting or agitating in the interest of Ndigbo should be
taken with a pinch of salt by those who had hitherto, believed them”,
Onwuemeodo reasoned.
He argued that world over, groups
fighting for one reason or the other presumably for their people, do not loose
sight of what certain leaders in the areas represent and accord them the needed
respect, no matter what they hold against such leaders.
