Umahi mocks IPOB’s sit-at-home order, says freedom fighters shouldn’t be outside country vomiting rubbish

ON MAY 29, 2021

By Peter Okutu – Abakaliki

Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State, Saturday mocked the sit-at-home order declared by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, saying freedom fighters should not be outside the country and vomiting rubbish.

He described the directive of IPOB as an act of foolishness.

Umahi who stated this during a live broadcast to commemorate his six years in office at the old Government House, Abakaliki, stressed that nobody can stop the movement of Ebonyi people in the State and any trader that refuses to open his or her store on Monday would forfeit it.

“You should not be outside the country and vomiting rubbish. Freedom fighters should come down to the Southeast, let’s discuss.

“This no movement order is foolishness. We will not go into any form of slavery. There will be free movement throughout today, tomorrow, and ongoing.

“I have banned all forms of procession apart from the one organised by the Local Government Chairmen as they are profiling our people.

“On Monday, the market must be operational. Any trader that refuses open will forfeit his or her store.”

On the issue bordering on security, the Governor regretted that some people of the South East region were contributing to the present security challenges facing the zone even as he warned against divisive and misleading utterances by Politicians in the South East.

He warned youths of the region to avoid being brainwashed to cause mayhem in the State.

“Ebubeagu has come to stay. Stakeholders should advise our children. They should not confront security agencies. Agitation doesn’t mean killing security agencies.

“These six years have been very challenging. The devaluation of the naira and turbulent economy. God has never left us. We must thank the late Gen. Sani Abacha for the creation of Ebonyi State.

“We deeply indebted to him. The spirit of our founding fathers is devoid of selfishness. We thank our founding fathers. Without them, we will not be celebrating today.

“We must thank the security agencies. We thank them for the sacrifices they are making. I promise to do everything possible to them.

“The dreams of our founding fathers have been realized. From November, we will roll out our drums to celebrate. We are postponing it to November.

“President Buhari is good to Ebonyi State and we are not afraid to say it. We are grateful as Ebonyi people. The phase one has started. We are grateful to God for that project. Abakaliki and the entire State will never be the same any longer.”

The Governor dissolved all Boards and Commission in the State, apart from a few others.

If he said that that is really childish unwise and amateur thing to say.

Does Umahi fight arm robbers physically? No

Even Buhari that lied he will lead the war front, where is he today?
Somethings should be allow for children to discuss.

freedom fighters should not be outside the country and vomiting rubbish......Tueh!


Nnamdi Kanu is the most senseless terrorist known to the modern world.
No gut, no strategy, no alliance, no goal, just ranting and urging Young promising youths to their untimely death while he chilled in the comfort of a serene environment.

Nnamdi is endangering the life of the people he claimed he loved for much

I'm not against people or group seeking for freedom but Nnamdi Kanu is going about it the wrong way.

Chai. So instead of ds fo0l to focus on finding d herdsmen that killed scores of Ebonyi ppl last month, he's gallivanting on ipob matters.

Dat his pocket he wants to keep filling while the blood of easterners are shed will soon open up nd swallow him.

Even this efulefu is talking

Umahi is the only SE governor that isn't intimidated by Ipob. The man has guts.

Example Abubakar Shekau, the man is doing a great job.

I am expecting Umahi Buhari to Sambisa to engage the guy one on one. No need soldiers.
That's a hero

Umeahi go soon buy market. That efulefu wey dey use ishiagû sow danshiki!?. Wahala go dey sleep, inyanga go go wake am.

When he went about it the right way, FG sent his agents to finish him... Now he is ing the message and they re hearing

Fahdiga1:
So that they will kill him abi

All I want is for peace to return to the south east

So many people have been killed both on the side of the government and innocent civilians .

He's ing the message with the life of innocent people wasted daily both on the side of the government and on the side of civilians?

All the freedom fighters I've read about didn't run away from their land to a foreign land.

Kingspin:
Example Abubakar Shekau, the man is doing a great job.

Abubakar Shekau and Nnamdi Kanu are both terrorists. While the former is an Islamic terrorist the later is a self acclaimed Jewish terrorist. Both will end up in the bottomless pit of hell !

FYI One is gone and one more to go!

I understand you bro. We are on the same page

Then u don't read. Read about Mandela and how he was in Nigeria at some Point in time hiding from the evil regime of his country. Mandela was even declared a Terrorist by SA govt then

PrinceOfLagos:

Nnamdi Kanu should come back home and fight for his freedom and that of the people he claimed he loved so much .

Fahdiga1:

I had a plan of visiting a friend in Enugu this June but with the recent happenings in the ones peaceful South East, I just gotta change the plan.

I love Igbos to a fault
