The
Punch is reporting that youths suspected to be members of the Indigenous People
of Biafra (IPOB) reportedly disrupted a church programme attended by a
governorship aspirant in Anambra state.
The
attack occurred at Odoekpe, Ogbaru Local Government Area of the state and
involved Godwin Ezeemo, who is running on the platform of the Progressives
Peoples Alliance. Ezeemo was at Ogbaru to worship at God’s Own Pentecostal
Church when the assailants carrying Biafra flags and singing Biafran songs
stormed the worship centre. The youths ordered him and his entourage to leave
the place.
“Many
politicians have been lying to us and used us for so long ; we don’t need them
again.
“Our
youths are jobless, our roads are bad. We want our freedom and we do not want
all these politicians here anymore,” an angry youth said. On his part, Ezeemo
stood his ground and replied the youths in the chaos that followed the order.
He said:
“I’m a Biafran in practice given that I brought down all my investments to my
homeland. “I can understand the agitation of these youths.
We have
been lied to for so long by these politicians but I left Britain to come back
home so that I can make things right. Just give me a chance, I will not let you
down
IPOB
said the group would not allow any election process that would perpetuate slave
status and misery among the people of the area.

Powerful in Awka, the Anambra state capital, IPOB said it had not shifted
ground on the issue contrary to insinuations in some quarters.
