IPOB can’t ban governors from traveling ― Umahi

Chairman of South East Governors Forum and Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, has dismissed the purported travel ban placed on  South-East governors and other prominent eastern politicians by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The governor, who spoke to State House correspondents after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday, said it was an empty threat, which IPOB lacked the power to make.

He said no responsible government would allow a proscribed group to promote lawlessness.

Umahi boasted that he would inform IPOB members whenever he planned to travel out of Nigeria.
