‘We’ll die with you if you come’ – IPOB warns Buhari to stay away from south-east


The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to stay away from Biafraland, else there will be bloodshed.
Buhari is scheduled to visit Ebonyi state on Tuesday, and Anambra the day after.
In a statement sent to TheCable on Monday, Emma Powerful, IPOB spokesman, said:
“we (IPOB members) will die with him should he set his foot on the sacred land of Biafra”.
“Tuesday 14th November 2017 will be recorded in history as a very bloody day should that Jubril masquerading as Buhari attempt to land on Biafran soil,” the statement read.
“He is coming to mock us and to urinate on the graves of our 91 brethren his Operation Python Dance killed in Abia State. He is coming to show us that power belongs to the north and people like Nnia Nwodo and Dave Umahi are in charge over their conquered territory and defeated people of Biafra. He has come to tell us we are forever slaves.”

When visited the presidential villa in Abuja last week, he told state house correspondents that the people of the state are “fully prepared” to receive the president.
He said Buhari would commission some projects carried out by his administration during the visit, including roads and flyovers.
The governor had said:
“There are quite a lot of projects that we have executed within these past two and the half years. We have three numbers of twin flyovers that are built across the African Tran Sahara Road running from Enugu to Cameroon passing through Ebonyi state, so we have to build three twin flyovers to decongest traffic on that road, each of the twin flyovers is 700-metre length.
“We have completed two and the third one is 80 percent done, Mr President will commission the two. We also have a mall, what we call Ebonyi mall that is modelled after the famous Dubai mall.
“And we intend for the president to lay a foundation stone of that mall which we will like Mr President to commission within the next 12 months.”

Ikoyi whistleblower not stable to receive N860m reward, he may become mad’ – Sagay

Here’s what he said; “What I gathered from my inquiry is that the man is not sufficiently stable to receive such a huge sum of money. . He is like someone who will almost run mental when he gets the money and will use it in an irresponsible manner, attracting not only undesirable people but even danger to himself,” Sagay told PUNCH. . “I think what they wanted to do for him was to provide counsellors. Not just counsellors for character and mental situation but counsellors who would be like consultants that would help him to really invest the money and plan in such a way that he doesn’t throw it away in five minutes. They are trying to help him. Nobody is denying him anything. They are trying to help him but he just misunderstands the intention and like everyone that has been deprived for a long time, he is so desperate to have it but from what I can see, if they just give him everything, it won’t last more than a month or two because so many people will start finding ways to get ...
