Governor of Abia state, Okezie Ikpeazu is set to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari, over the activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in the South East.
This was contained in a statement posted on Facebook, by Ikpeazu’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communication, Sam Hart.
It comes after the Governor reached an agreement with the Nigerian Army , for troops to be withdrawn from Aba and Umuahia.
Part of the statement read: “With the expected exit of soldiers from the streets, we must warn that we will not tolerate agitators and protesters taking over the streets for any reason at all.
“I will also be meeting the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Mohamaudu Buhari, to discuss possible ways of relaxing the Operation Python dance 11 in the state for now.”
Ikpeazu also sounded a note of warning to the agitators, stating that “Members and sympathizers of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) should henceforth desist from spreading false rumors capable of throwing our state into disorder. Those spreading such falsehood will be dealt with, according to the Law.”
