IPOB Warns Enugu Governor Mbah Over 'Plans To Turn Mbu Community To Hausa-Fulani Settlement, Import Muslims'

The IPOB spokesperson said that “Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State wants to create a crisis in the peaceful communities in Enugu State by importing terrorists into the state. 

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has accused Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State of creating a crisis and increasing insecurity in communities in the state.

The IPOB, which made the allegation in a statement issued on Tuesday by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, alleged that Governor Mbah hired the services of one Friday Nnaji, to flood the Mbu community in Isi Uzo Local Government Area of the State with "foreign muslims."

Powerful stated that “The plan to change the demography of Enugu State indigenous population will be resisted by IPOB and, by extension, Ndigbo.”

The IPOB spokesperson said that “Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State wants to create a crisis in the peaceful communities in Enugu State by importing terrorists into the state. 

“He is desperate to fulfill the agreement he had with the Fulani movement called MACBAN, which includes creating Fulani settlements in Enugu State. This Fulani settlement agenda is being foiled by ESN. 

“Governor Peter Mbah contracted the so-called Friday Nnaji to do the work for him. This Friday, Nnaji is not the first Igbo Muslim, but his desperation to destroy his people by facilitating the import of radical Hausa-Fulani muslims into the peaceful communities in Enugu State will attract consequences. 

“If Governor Peter Mbah and Friday Nnaji have converted to Islam, they can practice their faith without forcing it on entire communities in Enugu State. 

“Governor Peter Mbah and Friday Nnaji by their actions created tension in the Mbu Community and in the entire Enugu State with their plans to import and flood the peaceful indigenous communities with foreign muslims to outnumber the indigenous community.”

IPOB warned that “He (the Governor) must not endanger the security and safety of Enugu State indigenes and Alaigbo in his quest to fulfill his agreement with the Fulani movement. 

“We are equally calling on the well-meaning indigenes of Enugu State to speak up and call the governor to order before he destroys the very peaceful Enugu State. 

“Accommodating foreign Fulani extremists is a recipe for disaster. IPOB will never allow this forceful change of demography to take place in any community in Alaigbo. Governor Peter Mbah and Friday Nnaji should abort their plans.”
