Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, has described as total madness the claim by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, that Benue State is part of Biafra territory.
Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed separatist group, had on several occasions claimed that Benue State is part of the defunct Biafra Republic.
IDOMA VOICE reports that some members of IPOB had hoisted the Biafra flag in Ado LGA of the state.
reacting, however, WIke, said the claim is total madness.
He spoke during a visit of Southeast governors to Nyesom Wike of Rivers in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
According to him, anyone who thinks Benue or Rivers is part of Biafra is a criminal.
His words, “We, Ndigbo, we do not support criminalities. Do not buy into any criminal that is from our side. I find it very funny when somebody is going to be claiming that part of Benue State must descend into his territory and part of Rivers State must descend into his territory. What sort of madness is that?”
