Watch out for Nigeria government sponsored protests against Kanu, IPOB alerts supporters
Published By Family Writers
The Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) has alerted its supporters over alleged plots by opponents of the struggle for the actualization of Biafran Republic to organise protests against its detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu, to create the impression that the Igbo are disenchanted with his leadership.
The group alleged that the organisers of the protests are also mobilising northerners in the South East states under the breakaway Biafra Republic to stage the anti-Kanu protest on or before September 26 when his trial will come up before an Abuja High Court.
In a statement issued yesterday by its Media and Publicity Officer, Emma Powerful, IPOB alleged that the motive of the anti-Kanu protests is to further deceive gullible minds that the pro-Biafra group is factionalised, insisting that “there is no division whatsoever in IPOB.”
Powerful said that the latest strategy was adopted by the “enemies of Biafran independence, having failed in their desperation to create imaginary splinter groups in IPOB.”
“I want to let the whole world know again that there is no division in IPOB under Nnamdi Kanu; we are intact and no amount of propaganda and blackmail can distract us,” Powerful said, adding:
“IPOB’s intelligent unit has uncovered plans by the Nigerian government to mobilise some Hausa/Fulani people living in Biafraland and some unscrupulous Igbo individuals who are bent on sabotaging the restoration of God’s nation Biafra.
“The people were paid heavily to organise protests against the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, before or on the 26/9/2016, the day he is to appear in court in Abuja. They are to organise the protest in all Biafraland where Hausa people live in order to create the impressions that there is division in the IPOB family worldwide.
“However, we are calling on the general public and the people of the world to disregard and shun the concocted protests or rallies against our leader, Nnamdi Kanu by the government of the day in Nigeria.”
According to IPOB, Powerful remains its Media and Publicity Officer under the leadership of Kanu, dismissing the “self- acclaimed Philip Effiong Osuji-led TRIBOB and REIPOB” as “a faceless imaginary creation of the security agencies”.
IPOB said it would no longer respond to any further claims of the “imaginary splinter group as doing so will amount to dignifying them and distracting IPOB from the Biafra project”.
It also pointed accusing fingers at the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND).
IPOB urged its supporters to disregard the rumours being peddled by MEND which wants to drag its (IPOB’s) reputation to the mud as it (MEND)has already done its own.
