IPOB Can’t Attack Me Outside Nigeria – Ngige

Chris Ngige, the Minister of Labour and Employment, has said members of the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB cannot attack him outside Nigeria.

The Minister said this while reacting to the attack members of the secessionist group meted on former deputy senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, in Germany in August. Read here.

Speaking at a function in Obosi, Anambra State, Ngige stated that the recent threat issued by IPOB members to attack politicians of the South-East geopolitical zone if they were sighted anywhere outside the country, is not in any way directed to him.

According to him, he protected IPOB members and their interests when he was the governor of Anambra State.

“IPOB was registered by the late President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Dr Dozie Ikedife, and other Igbos 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 marginalization.

They should stand up and assert themselves to be counted. Nigeria belongs to all of us. Equity favors 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 favorable to an Igbo president. We must support him and associate with the APC. Nobody will give you president of Nigeria in your bedroom.” he said
