All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Joe Igbokwe, has issued a stern warning to Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, accusing him of supporting the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Igbokwe characterized Abaribe’s alleged stance as a betrayal of national unity and a threat to peace.

The APC stalwart’s strong condemnation comes amid escalating tensions and security concerns in parts of Nigeria, particularly the southeastern region where IPOB’s activities have been prominent. Igbokwe’s remarks suggest a direct challenge to Abaribe’s political future and his role within the Senate.

Igbokwe specifically referred to Abaribe as an “IPOB bandit,” a highly charged accusation that implies direct complicity with the secessionist group. He asserted that this was the senator’s “last chance” in the Senate, indicating a belief that Abaribe’s political career is at a critical juncture due to his alleged association.

The statement by the APC chieftain highlights a significant political divide and intensifies the ongoing debate surrounding IPOB and its perceived sympathizers within the Nigerian political landscape. Such rhetoric underscores the deep polarization on issues of national security and regional autonomy.

While the specific context of Senator Abaribe’s remarks or actions that prompted Igbokwe’s outburst is not detailed, the APC chieftain’s public denouncement signals a serious political confrontation. The accusation of supporting IPOB carries substantial weight in the current Nigerian security climate.

This public exchange between prominent political figures could have ramifications for Senator Abaribe’s political standing and the broader discourse on secessionist movements in Nigeria. The intensity of Igbokwe’s language suggests a concerted effort to discredit Abaribe and potentially influence public opinion against him.
