Revealed: Why South East governors moved against Kanu
FRESH facts have emerged revealing the reasons state governors in the South East geo-political zone outlawed the Nnamdi Kanu-led Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, before the Federal Government acted in the same manner.
Saturday Vanguard exclusively gathered from one of the governors and another eminent leader of Igbo extraction that the action was taken to save the zone from being consumed by the attendant crisis generated by IPOB’s activities.
The governors’ action, it was learnt was also made inevitable by Kanu’s failure to heed the counsel of Igbo leaders against continuing with his separatist agitation.
Kanu was said to have turned a deaf ear to several entreaties by both political and non-political leaders of Igbo extraction, thereby creating an atmosphere of fear across the region.
Specifically, IPOB’s activities, Saturday Vanguard was told had already begun taking a toll on socio-economic activities across the South East and other areas where they operated.
