The governor said that the meeting was not about IPOB, stressing the need for security of lives and properties of Nigerians all over Nigeria and to stress the need for a united, honest, fair and equitable Nigeria. That was what the meeting was about.

“It was a wonderful meeting and the message we taking back is that there is hope for a united and peaceful nigeria and everybody should work hard. We emphasis the need for everybody to restrain from making hate statements.

“We should be making statements that binding us together, statements of love, statements of unity, statements of hope and of course we should also work very hard.”

On what message are you taking back to agitators, he said, “everybody has a right to agitate but we emphasis the need for peaceful agitation. Even you agitates, your wife agitates at home that the feeding money is not enough, so is fundamental right but is the manner you go about it. So is not an issue that cannot be resolved.”
