In response to the recent inciting, baseless and emotional outburst by one Comrade Robert Obi, former factional caretaker Chairman of IPMAN Calabar unit during their purported visit to Secretary to the state government and other issues, I would like to provide a balanced perspective on the matter.

However, it is crucial to acknowledge that both factions within IPMAN Calabar unit ...
