He said the cancellation was due to alleged plans by the Government to cause mayhem and arrest his supporters.
The All Progressive Congress (APC) on Wednesday accused Ihedioha and the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) of plotting to use his return to carry out another protest against the Supreme Court review judgement with a view to visiting mayhem on the state.
Police Commissioner, Bolaji Fafowora, issued a statement warning against any gathering, stating that the ban on protests and rallies was yet to be lifted.
But, in a release he personally signed on Thursday morning by Ihedioha, the former governor said contrary to what the Government wanted the public to believe, the government was planning the arrest and detain his supporters.
He alleged there were plans to visit mayhem on the expected crowd coming to welcome him as well as turn around to stigmatise his party with the toga of violence.
He said the postponement of his return to the state was in line with his non-violence stance, insisting his visit was not worth the life of any citizen of the state.
Ihedioha noted that since the January 14 judgment that ousted him from office, he was yet to visit the State.
He said he was unaware that he had been banished from the State.
