The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has bestowed Ayodele
Fayose, governor of Ekiti state, with the title of honorary governor of Biafra
Republic.
IPOB announced this
in a
statement made available to PUNCH and signed by Emma Powerful, its media and
publicity secretary.
It
said the honour was in recognition of his solidarity with Nnamdi Kanu, leader
of the group, and also for his display of courage at the court sitting in Abuja
during Kanu’s recent arraignment.
“We
also acknowledge the immense contributions of the honorary Biafran Gov. Ayodele
Fayose who did what no south-east or south-south governor had the courage to
do,” the statement read.
IPOB
also commended Osita Chidoka and Femi Fani-Kayode, former aviation ministers;
Chukwuma Soludo, Pat Utomi, Ike Ekweremau, deputy senate president; Enyinnaya
Abaribe and others “for their support in the release of its leaders.”
