The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has blasted South-East Governors and members of Ohaneze Ndigbo for refusing to work for the unconditional release of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
Kanu has been cooling his heels in the DSS net over his alleged hate speech against Nigeria through his Radio Biafra.
The group called on leaders from the region to stop any meeting they were planning to hold with the Federal Government in the name of representing and speaking for them because they do not have their support for such meeting.
One of IPOB’s spokesmen Comrade Emma Powerful while speaking with newsmen said, “if the South East Governors and the Ohaneze Ndigbo are serious, they should be talking about getting unconditional release of the Director of Radio Biafra Mr. Nnamdi Kanu who is still being incarcerated for the past one month now, that should be the starting point.
“How can the South East Governors, who we elected, but turned back and stabbed us, calling us all sorts of unprintable names with the enemies of Biafra and South East in general, and the people who call themselves Ohaneze Ndigbo, a group that is in shambles, that has not taken Ndigbo forward after the leadership of Eze Ozobu and Nwabueze, be talking for us.
“The Governors and members of the Ohaneze Ndigbo that are in disarray and some disgruntled traditional rulers, who we known are working for any government in power, and soliciting for and receiving contracts from governments, joined the enemies of Ndigbo, who betrayed us during the Nigerian Biafran Civil War, to call us names; and now they claim they want to go and negotiate for us to collect money and contracts as usual to sell us out like they have always done, when they have not even called us to meeting to find out our grievances,” he said.
Powerful added that “we are rejecting the South East Governors and Ohaneze Ndigbo and whatever proposals they are making with Nigerian Federal Government, they are not representing us, but themselves; we the IPOB members warn them to stop discussing IPOB because they are not representing us, they have roundly and consistently disappointed us, Ndigbo and Biafrans as a whole.
“We can only listen and support them if they are talking about unconditional release for Mr. Kanu and not to stop worldwide Biafra actualization agitation and peaceful protest that has followed it, we will not stop until our leader is released unconditionally”.
