Gaius Chibueze Announces Relocation of Businesses Over IPOB Threats, Vows to Continue Push for ‘Make Ala Igbo Great Again’
Nigerian businessman and cryptocurrency investor, Gaius Chibueze, has announced plans to relocate his businesses from the Southeast to other parts of Nigeria following alleged threats to his life and companies.
In a statement, Chibueze alleged that the threats came from Chinasa Nworu and other members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). He linked the development to a speech he delivered at the World Igbo Congress Convention, where he urged Igbo people in the diaspora to stop funding what he described as “homegrown terrorists.”
Chibueze said the decision to move his investments out of the region was necessary for his safety and continuity of business. He also disclosed that he would remain in the United States for the time being.
“To make Ala Igbo great again, one has to first be alive and prosperous,” he said, stressing that the threats would not be taken lightly.
According to him, groups behind such threats have a history of attacking fellow Igbo people who disagree with their positions.
The businessman reaffirmed his commitment to his long-standing campaign, tagged “Make Ala Igbo Great Again (MAIGA).”
