Biafra: IPOB's Nnamdi Kanu Aims Fresh Jibe At Detractors

 

Nnamdi Kanu, a Nigerian Biafra political activist and leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said to "those that traduce us" that the defunct state of Biafra is "an eternal identity", AllNews reports.

Self-exiled made this declaration on his known Twitter handle on Saturday.

According to Kanu, Biafra is 'a permanent state of mind' - what the banned IPOB is all about.

Meanwhile, in a related news, a youth group under the aegis of “Save Enugu Youths initiative” has warned Kanu to steer clear from the President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo or face the dire consequences, should anything happen to him.

The group which was reacting to a threat issued by the controversial leader of IPOB, during his 28 June broadcast on Radio Biafra urging his members to stone Chief Nwodo at sight for failing to protect the zone against the rampaging herdsmen in the region, warned that Kanu should be warned against instigating internal crisis in the region.

The statement according to the group’s coordinator and the convener, Chibueze Nwoga and Hon. Gwiyi Solomon explained that an average Igbo man in the contemporary Nigerian nation feels marginalized and ill-treated and Chief Nwodo has been speaking out against this untowered development as well as fighting to protect the interest of the region by every means available to him.

“When Kanu’s house was invaded by the military, Nnia went to Chartan house in London, where he sought for intervention of big powers while telling the world that Nigerian government has committed genocide against his people.

“When during Donald Trump’s victory match by IPOB in Rivers State, where some of the protesters were killed by the military, Chief Nnia cried foul, gave government ultimatum to bring the killers of his children to book.

“During his inauguration speech as president general of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Nwodo lambasted President Muhammadu Buhari for excluding the Southeast region from major government appointments as well as sensitive projects.

“The other day again, a bomb blast went off at Nnia’s residence at Ukehe, fuelling speculations that IPOB wanted to kill the Igbo leader.

“So what else does Kanu want from Chief Nnia Nwodo?” Gwiyi queried.
