Nigeria’s Minister of Labour, Chris Ngige has revealed that the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB and its Leader, Nnamdi Kanu cannot attack or beat him up outside Nigeria.

Ngige made this comments while reacting to a report that the group threatened to beat up any South-East political figure seen abroad. He stated that the group can’t touch him because he protected their interests when he was governor of Anambra state. In his words;

“IPOB was registered by the late President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Dr Dozie Ikedife and other Igbo as a non-violent group. What is going on now in the group is not part of the work plan . I visited the United States of America recently, and I was welcomed by IPOB members.

“They knew I fed and protected them when I was in office as governor. I have said it several times that Biafra cannot be achieved the IPOB way. The Igbo should stop shouting marginalisation. They should stand up and assert themselves to be counted. Nigeria belongs to all of us.

“Equity favours the Igbo to produce the next president of the country, but they must work hard and position themselves for it.

“We should stop political sentiments. Politicians don’t give power based on sentiment and emotion. President Muhammadu Buhari has said he is favourable to an Igbo president.

“We must support him and associate with the APC”.
