Ebonyi Governor Bluffs IPOB, Says He’ll Let Them Know Before He Travels Abroad 

Governor of Ebonyi State and chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum, David Umahi, has made it clear that members of the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) in other countries have no constitutional right to issue travel ban on Igbo leaders in Nigeria, especially the Southeast governors.

Answering reporters’ questions today, September 5, shortly after a private audience with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Governor Umahi stressed that there is no constitutional responsibility placed on IPOB to have the right to place travel ban.

“Incidentally, when I will travel, I will let IPOB know that I am coming to that particular nation. They remain our brothers. It doesn’t matter the misunderstanding.”

He said that one of the reasons he met the President was to arrange a meeting between him and the Southeast governors, leadership of Ohaneze, leadership of Nzuko Umunna, the clergy, bishops and national assembly members.

“Our people want to do an interaction with Mr. President.”
