Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi has said the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, lie to people of the southeast, adding that the group is not good for the people.
Umahi, a presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, APC, said IPOB should not be welcomed in the Southeast due to their negative activities.
The governor stated this while playing host to leaders and members of the Nigeria Guild of Editors in Abakaliki at the weekend.
According to Umahi: “There is extreme politics in this region and it must stop, when we started especially before my defection, we were all working together and I was championing it that IPOB is not good for us because of the kind of agitations that were being meted out was not correct.
“First hate-speeches and from there it developed to violence and they have continued to lie to our people that our place has been infiltrated, it is a lie, it is South East killing South East people and the security people and until we are bold to say this, it will continue
