With reference to a press statement released by Governor Wike’s spokesperson, Kelvin Ebiri, Governor Umahi ‘s assertion was duly quoted.
The press statement also affirmed that an aggressive search has been staged to fish-out these IPOB members who clashed with the military.
The statement in part reads
Umahi after listening to Governor Wike’s narration of the atrocious activities of IPOB in Oyigbo that culminated in the imposition of curfew in the entire Local Government, warned Igbos to be wary of IPOB as the group was bent on instigating another civil war that will result in the murder of Igbo people
Tell your people, Rivers people will continue to live together with Igbos,” he was quoted as saying. Don’t allow your sons to tell you lies. Igbos are innovative and hardworking. There can’t be Nigeria without Igbos. Nobody should take them for granted. But that doesn’t mean you must allow criminals to spoil your name.
If I hate Igbos, I won’t appoint your son into my state cabinet two times. But you have to obey rules. Don’t allow criminals to dictate to you.
