The governor of the state, Okezie Ikpeazu was removed by an appeal court following petition from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA)
Vanguard reports that Mr. Bonnie Iwuoha, the commissioner for information and strategy accused APGA of being behind the agitation for an independent Biafra state championed by IPOB.

Mr. Emma Powerful, the media and publicity officer of IBOB said it was concerned about the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the director of Radio Biafra and warned the state government not to drag its name in the politics of the state.
“It is disappointing that Abia State Government and its Governor Ikpeazu, who was recently removed by the court as governor of the state, have done nothing to ensure the release of Mr. Kanu, an Abia State indigene, or spoken against the action of the Federal Government that has continued to detain Kanu even after two competent courts of jurisdiction had granted him bail, instead they are trying to make misguided statement against IPOB.”
“The Abia State Government should bury its face in shame for doing nothing to ensure the release of a son of Abia State who is being persecuted for no justifiable reason, instead it is talking about APGA sponsoring us. The people that Iwuoha claim to be sponsoring us, are they not the people that told the soldiers to shoot in Onitsha.
“We do not want to join issues with Iwuoha and his governor because they will soon be unemployed, and they are looking for people to blame for their woes. IPOB has no business with any political party in the country because our concern is not Nigerian politics or state politics, our concern is the release of our leader and actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra.

“Involving us with any political party is an insult to us, we are warning that such association of IPOB with any political party in Nigeria should stop forth with, and the removed governor should face his case in court and should not blame IPOB for his woes.”
