David Umahi spoke at a media event in Abuja organised by the Presidential Media Team..



The governor revealed that the agitation by the Igbo people fell on deaf ears by successive governments which has given rise to the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASOB,) Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB,) and the Eastern Security Network (ESN).

In his words: “We do not want to secede from Nigeria but we want a Nigeria where justice and equity prevails. We want peace. The situation in the South East right now is a situation in which non-violent approach of IPOB at the beginning has been hijacked by bandits, by cultists, by criminals,
