The Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed has dismissed the possibility of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), achieving self-determination by breaking away from Nigeria Nigeria.
Mohammed said it would be difficult for IPOB to achieve self-determination in Nigeria because Igbos own half of the country.
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and presidential aspirants spoke while wooing party’s delegates in Anambra State on Friday.
According to Mohammed: “When I was minister of Federal Capital Territory, the Igbo capital investment in Abuja was over 50 percent.

“That is the true position, not only in Abuja, but in Kano, Lagos, Kaduna and other states. So, we are interrelated and connected as a people in Nigeria.
“We need to stabilise that symbiotic bond that binds us together. When IPOB is talking about self-determination and self-actualisation, for where? When you owe over half of the country.
“God may not give you everything. He has given something to you. That is the truth. Because of this, I am calling for this unity and fraternity among us. If the Igbo youth understand this, they will now know the need for peace and unity in the country.”
Meanwhile, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has issued a warning to Fulani terrorists masquerading as herders in the South East, informing them they are not welcome in the Southeast while pledging to flush them out of the zone.
IPOB explained that Fulani terrorists masquerading as herders are raping and killing the vulnerable in the region.
Emma Powerful, the spokesman of IPOB, however, said the group is not against Hausas and non-indigenes residing in the Southeast.
Powerful assured Hausas and non-indigenes residing in the Southeast of their safety in the region.
