IPOB Cautions Igbo Politicians Against Exploiting Nnamdi Kanu’s Detention For Political Agendas
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) issued a stern warning on Monday to Igbo politicians, urging them to refrain from using the detention of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, for their own political gain…….CONTINUE READING
IPOB’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful, criticized several South-East politicians, accusing them of merely paying lip service to the issue while claiming to work towards Kanu’s release.
In Powerful’s words: “The esteemed family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu, wish to caution certain self-proclaimed Igbo politicians and leaders against exploiting the name of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for their personal political ambitions.”
He emphasized that “Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not enduring solitary confinement in the DSS facility for the sake of Nigerian politics, but for the freedom of Biafrans and the restoration of the Biafran nation.”
IPOB also expressed its appreciation for the Igbo people’s decision not to participate in the #EndBadGovernance protests in Nigeria. Powerful noted, “Despite being politically and economically marginalized and ostracized, Ndigbo have built a resilience to survive decades of persecution in Nigeria.”
He added that if the Igbo people had joined the protests, the Federal Government might have deployed troops to destroy Igbo land and harm many civilians. “IPOB prioritizes the safety and well-being of our people as we continue to strategize for Biafra’s freedom,” he said.
Powerful advised the Igbo community to be wary of those using Nnamdi Kanu’s name to further their political interests, dismissing much of the social media discussions about visiting Kanu in detention and working for his release as mere political posturing.
He made it clear that “IPOB will not engage with many of these individuals until Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is released from his unlawful detention at DSS headquarters in Abuja.”
Powerful warned that those who continue to exploit Kanu’s plight for political purposes risk being publicly called out by IPOB and having their political ambitions thwarted in the South-East
