While insisting that most Southeast youths are not secessionists, Okorocha said that they are only angry Nigerians railing against the system. Adding that these made them easy targets for IPOB’s agenda.

“The issue of IPOB is very controversial and they are the agitations of some young men seeking for relevance who even disrespected me during my tenure as a governor; I don’t see them as secessionists.
