The Headquarters Of IPOB Is France:- says FG

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed who disclosed this to State House correspondents at the Council Chamber, Presidential Villa, Abuja, said President Muhammadu Buhari has already approved the process for proscription of IPOB.

He said that IPOB is a contraption against the administration of President Buhari and that the group is being sponsored by some foreign countries.
Mohammed said he would not join the debate over the legality or otherwise of the proscription of the group, saying “For those who are fixated with legality, I have good news for them: President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the process of proscribing IPOB, and the procedure is on as I speak.”

Continuing he said, “But I ask, if the President had been overly concerned with legality, where would Nigeria have been today? If attacks in the South-east had attracted reprisals elsewhere in the country, what would have happened?
“But for the quick action of state governors in the South-east and and the North, there would have been a conflagration of immense proportions.”

He said the activities of IPOB if not the timely intervention of some leaders from the North especially governors from the zone and their counterpart from the South East, the country would have been engulfed in serious crisis.
He commended the Southeast governors for being proactive by “making it clear to IPOB that it has no support for its violent campaign.
“By its action, the Governors have cut off the oxygen that IPOB needs to survive. If the elected Governors of all the states in the South-east have banned the activities of IPOB, who then is the organization fighting for?

"IPOB is a contraption against the Buhari Administration, and that it is being supported by those "I call the Coalition of the Politically-Disgruntled and the Treasury Looters."I remain by that announcement in spite of the commotion radiating from the standard suspects."Finally, IPOB has chosen to externalize its battle. It has kept in touch with governments and parliaments in the West claiming genocide in the South-east. Indeed, even a word reference meaning of 'genocide' does not bolster that claim. IPOB has likewise occupied with utilizing exceedingly emotive recordings of killings, which it collected from different grounds and were doctored, to dupe the universal community."On why government chose to consider IPOB as a psychological militant association when its individuals don't remain battle ready, Mohammed stated, "I think anyone who has viewed Nnamdi Kanu's recordings anyplace he goes to he straightforwardly requests for arms and for funds."I have a great deal of citations from him with regards to the savagery aim of IPOB, in one of his recordings he said in the event that he is captured his young men should torch the nation, the same Kanu went on TV a couple of days back saying he was dozing at in regards to 4:30pm in his home in Umuahia and afterward a few welds were making clamors they were irritating his rest and his young men ceased them."I ask him which nation on the planet would endure this, tragically Nigerians we have short recollections now and again, or we have a tendency to be exceptionally fiendish in light of the fact that this thing is being transformed into goodness the North is mistreating the south east or muslims oppressing christians.

We have overlooked that in 1983 there was a gathering called Mateseni in Kano, they were smashed by Shagari government, they were muslims and northerners."When they migrated to Burukutu they were again pulverized by Shagari, when Buhari progressed toward becoming Head of State, the same Mateseni raised their head, he pursued them far into the Chad Republic as then the Head of State, I recollect that time he was blamed by America for endeavoring to grow Ghadafi's plan.

Abacha time permitting managed additionally with Mateseni and he was a muslim."President Yar Adua in 2010 was en route to the air terminal when he got a report about Boko Haram, he sent armed force to go and decimate them, these were muslims from the north managing basically Islamic muslim rebellions, anything about insurrection or fear based oppressors act you don't consider religion, you don't consider ethnicity, you consider the solidarity of the country."Honestly Nigeria has been exceptionally fortunate, a week ago there would have been huge carnage if responses had occurred outside the south east and it didn't happen on the grounds that our conventional rulers our governors and different leaders went out to conciliate individuals and the sort of stories that has been drifting on the online networking has not helped things.

"As a self evident certainty there was one expressing that a noteworthy general had been killed, not realizing that it was a resigned significant that was killed in Benue state over land matters, that would have set the whole nation ablaze."As cosmopolitan as Abuja seems to be, it took the FCT priest to activate all the 17 reviewed customary boss and emirs in Abuja to truly hold gatherings with all the stakeholders."To assuage the circumstance and they think its a joke, you can envision what might have happened if the general population of Kano or Kaduna began striking back, so we are in an extremely perilous circumstance and really we are perched on a barrel of explosive.

The peace that you are seeing is tricky we should keep on working on it and we should keep on countering this extremely false narrative."Is there anyone here who can disclose to me which part of Nigeria genocide is occurring it is not valid but rather ofcourse we are in the period of phony news and computerized reasoning where you can make a video of what is going on in Iraq super force pictures in Nigeria and voices and send it, individuals are guileless including some outside countries."On the premise of that we have heard some amusing bones saying that Nigeria ought to be ousted from the United Nations since they are propagating genocide, this legislature won't smother anyone's opportunity of articulation, yet when you go too far for national solidarity we won't permit you.

"The Minister who clarified why President Buhari endorsed the prohibition, stated, "There is a method for banishment, the President must sign the announcement after which the Attorney General will take after the methodology which he is doing."But for me do you need the President to sit tight for this to be put into law before you make a move and quit plundering or slaughtering? Where will Nigeria be today if there is blaze in Lagos or Kano, similar to the Governor of Abia said yesterday there are in regards to 11million igbos living outside the south east, that is not a modest number, its not a joke."When made a request to name those behind the subsidizing of IPOB following the administration proclamation that it had found those behind it's financing, he stated, "I think this is not advanced science, any treasury pillager would do everything conceivable to occupy government.

 In the event that by any demonstration, God deny it, Nigeria is today inundated in war, and Nigeria is presently associated with attempting to subdue distress, will the courts be spared?"What would be the main need of government? It will be to suppress that uproar, so its a method for diversion to guarantee that administration is not centered, so its not advanced science that a man today who has a case in court or practically going to prison will attempt and cause perplexity, he would go and bolster IPOB."We have the records, we know IPOB gathers cash from many individuals from diaspora, they gather cash from many individuals in Nigeria they gather cash from some remote nations, this is clear."Let me let you know, the budgetary central command is in France, we know however you see would you be able to as an administration quit sending cash to your folks, you need to obstruct the wellsprings of back that is the thing that I said recently.

"It is undeniable that a few people in diaspora contribute cash to IPOB, where does he get his cash from? We know this as a reality, again there are a couple of exceptionally insidious political issues which you have to skip."For occasion, who does not realize that the IPOB inward radio is situated in London, we know the strategic moves we have been taking and moving toward the UK, every one of the harms its done yet they don't see it that path, for them its about flexibility of expression."If we have a man in Nigeria transparently requesting arms to come and battle the UK, what might you consider, would you consider that opportunity of expression?"And this is a nation that additionally has had a history. What did IRA do to be named a fear mongers association? They were planting bombs, they were battling the British armed force, I don't need any strategic column, we know beyond a shadow of a doubt where the financing is originating from and we will stop them yet it's hard to stop them and we have been dealing with it and we won't stop."
