However, when the governor was delivering his speech, a supporter of the Indigenous People of Biafra with a Biafran flag came to the podium agitating that no one is doing anything about the plight of Biafrans in Nigeria.  He was immediately rushed by other participants at the event as they clashed with him while trying to push him out of the hall.

The governor had traveled with very few senior government officials to witness the historic event and they are expected back to Nigeria during the weekend.
