Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has said that he will be meeting with leaders of youth groups and community development committees in the state on Monday, 26, October 2020 ‘to take holistic measures to stop all Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) activities in Rivers State’, Afriupdate reports.
IPOB, led by self-exiled Nnamdi Kanu is a banned separatist organization in Nigeria.
Its main aim is to restore an independent state of Biafra in the former Eastern Region of Nigeria through an independence referendum.
Wike, in a state-wide broadcast last Friday, urged residents of the state to respect the sensibilities of Rivers people and residents.
