Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Joe Igbokwe, on Sunday said the butchers in the South-East have realized that they laboured in vain.<\/p>\n

Igbokwe was reacting to the decision of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, to cancel the Monday sit-at-home order.<\/p>\n

Posting on his Facebook page, Igbokwe said IPOB has realized that there is no place to hide anymore in the South-East.<\/p>\n

The post titled \u2018No place to hide anymore in Igboland\u2019, reads: \u201cThe butchers of South East have now realized that they have laboured in vain. They are the ones calling off the SIT @ HOME fraud in Igboland. No place to hide anymore.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have suffered a crushing defeat they never expected. Did you see one of the butchers of SE, the compound illiterates and the murderers, the empty heads, one of the children of hate reading the address, the vagabonds of SE, the dregs of SE, the worst of the SE telling us what to do in the land of educated champions, men and women. We have won the battle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is left is how to smoke these criminals out of the forest whatever it will take. We have to use them to teach our people lessons of history. These hediots disgraced, dishonored, depopulated, looted and dragged SE back by 50 yrs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Igbokwe noted that what is left is for the relevant authorities to decide how to clean up the mess caused by IPOB in the South-East.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cHow do we clean up the mess they left behind? How we clear the Augean Stable? How do we fish them out from the forest in SE? How do we ensure that this tragedy will not rear its ugly head again?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first Civil War from 1966 to 1970 decimated millions of our people. We lost everything. The second civil war has been a case of Igbo versus Igbo. Igbo killing Igbo. Igbo looting Igbo.<\/p>\n

\u201cIgbo destroying Igboland with their own hands. Igbo crushing Igbo. Igbo eating Igbo alive. This is tragic. This is a disaster. This is a shame. They are not done yet. The madness is deep. But God is still on the throne.\u201d<\/p>\n
