Ebonyi people marginalised by Igbos, we’ll never be part of Biafra: Gov. Umahi.

Mr Umahi, Chairman of South-East Governors’ Forum, says Ebonyi people has always suffered humiliation from their southeastern brothers.

Ebonyi State will never be part of Biafra due to the marginalisation and slavery its people has suffered in the hands of other Igbos, says Governor Dave Umahi.

“Ebonyi will never be part of Biafra because of the marginalisation and slavery that Ebonyi people had been subjected to over the years by their South East brothers” Mr Umahi said on Wednesday.

Agitations for the sovereign state of Biafra, led by secessionist group Indigenous People of Biafra has been rife in recent years. Mr Umahi has never hidden his opposition to IPOB agitations.

The governor was reacting angrily to allegations that Ebonyi indigenes were responsible for the fatal attacks that is ravaging Anambra State.

He described the allegation as false, adding, “if any Ebonyi person is caught in killing, that person should be killed too.”

According to him, the killings in Anambra are political killings that have no link with Ebonyi people.

He said criminals who were from other states in the South-East zone had been arrested for the killings and other heinous crimes in Ebonyi State, without announcing their states of origin.

The governor, who is the chairman of the South-East Governors’ Forum, wondered why other people derive joy in tarnishing the image of Ebonyi people.

Anambra State is literally under siege as unknown gunmen have upped their attacks around the state ahead of the governorship election scheduled for November 6.

Many residents, including prominent physician Chike Akunyili have been murdered in the past few weeks. Government and private assets such as police, SSS and INEC offices have also come under arsonists’ attacks.

Reactions to the the rejuvenated news on twitter:

Why do Yorubas not like the Ijebus again? 🤔
Also, why do they look down on Kwara people?

Yeah! We're all aware of the marginalization among you also, so stop the pretence already.

LeoDeKing:

You wish.

Keep deceiving yourselves.
We wey them born for Lagos know what's up.
We no talk no mean say we no know. A jasi!
O dun e paa! 😜

raskymonojendor:

So Sanwo Olu is not yoruba again but ijebu 🤡

Iwo n ti e; ewo ni ibeere osi? 🤷🏽

If this man likes let him lick Tinubu's ass, nothing for you.. your people voted LP in mass.

I noticed Ebonyi is the best state in South East.

I have never been to the state but I gathered that the indigenes are very friendly and hardworking.

Another very good thing about them is that they hardly get involved in crime. Honestly, I can't reading any criminal report involving Ebonyians.

May God continue to lift the state higher and higher. May God also rid the state of miscreants and terrorists.

Long live president elect, BAT.
Long live governor Dave Umahi
Long live Nigerians
Long live Ebonyi state
Long live fed rep of Nigeria.

😁

When BIAFRA become granted, we will know who will be part and who will not be part of BIAFRA. I don't care politicians statement.

All the statements are only meant for unreasonable zombies who get deceived easily. That is why Buhari took their brain for 8 years.

O ti wa poju l'ara yin nii!
Ti a o ba fun yin pada, bawo le ma se gba? O to ge fun yin!

Little wonder from my research and studying, Ebonyi folks seem to be the most well behaved Igbos. Funny how They can't seem to show love to themselves and even discriminate themselves but yet want love from others especially from the Yorubas. Confused lot having misplaced priorities. It's only Igbos that I know that'd cry victim and accuse you of what they met out to others. Nonsense

Me I even want the SW governors should put heads together and ferry these people back to whatever hole and mud they came from

Igbos should Remove the log from their eyes.
Those sect of Cry babies clan should Give themselves love first.

Dem no go try am again..

Ibos love to preach extreme liberalism to Yoruba people. But in Iboland Ibos practice extreme conservatism. What Ibos demand from Yoruba people, they can never accept 1/100 th of it in alaibo.

See the reality 😬😁

Thats how he said Ebonyi wont vote for LP in presidential election, how far?

Umahi can only speak for himself

Ibrahimcoomasie:

Mr Umahi, Chairman of South-East Governors’ Forum, says Ebonyi people has always suffered humiliation from their southeastern brothers.

Umahi will never say that...
Ebonyi people will stone him to death .
No igbo man jokes with BIAFRA.

M4A1carbine:
After Dem bust their Gatwick Airport Propaganda. The Agbadorian brigade have resorted to default status.

IPOB..ESN..MNK... BIAFRA.

Now they love Umahi..

The worst thing that can happen to any man is lack of purpose and dignity. Agbado Propagandist, are so fixated on IGBO affairs,that it's obvious that without IGBOs they are DEAD. Never see an insecure race like Agbadorians...spits

but it's true Ebonyi people re marginalized

Umahi has never hidden this fact. He has been on this crusade for a while.

Old news...... That's worrisome,
Well I hope it's because of Abakaliki people because I know Afikpo People are even more refined and civil than the rest of Igbos and can never be intimidated rather you will get intimidated unless things have changed now. I the phrase Igbo kaki, if you know.

Meanwhile, the irony of it all is that an Ebonyi Man is the one currently pushing for the Biafra. Simon Ekpa
