Joe Igbokwe, a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has claimed that the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Eastern Security Network, ESN, and other armed groups terrorising the South-East are the reason singer Davido and his wife, Chioma's traditional wedding was held in Lagos instead of the bride's hometown in Imo State. He said that it was painful that the event didn't take place in the South-East.
He urged Igbo people to reflect on the wedding and make efforts to restore peace to their homeland. In an Instagram post, Igbokwe wrote: 'As beautiful and colourful CHIVIDO's wedding is I regret the obvious and painful truth that the event did take place in the South East. Thank you IPOB, ESN And KGM . Jisienu Ike 0000000. 'Anybody that has Igbo blood running in him or her should reflect on what happened today in Lagos.
