Orlu Imo State: Pro-Biafra Group Lampoons Gov. Uzodinma

Orlu Imo State: Pro-Biafra Group Lampoons Gov. Uzodinma

The Biafra Nations League (BNL) has criticised Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State for inviting men of the Nigerian Army into the state to tackle the banned Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)-affiliated Eastern Security Network (ESN).

BNL posits that Governor Uzodinma is trying to please his masters (unnamed) in Abuja, Nigerian capital city, as a sign of appreciation that they made him Governor via the Supreme Court.

In a statement on Saturday, a spokesman of BNL Aghaulor Godspower, branded Governor Uzodinma as a failure.

The organisation alleged that the former Senator "is killing his own people".

“He is trying to please his masters in Abuja as a sign of appreciation that they made him Governor via the Supreme Court.

“He has failed woefully. No Governor should boast of killing his people, no matter what," Godspower stated.

The group wondered why the Nigerian military “launched airstrikes in a peaceful town”, adding that the Biafran struggle has never been a threat to residents of Orlu.

BNL dismissed claims by the Imo government that Orlu people were attacked during clashes in the area.

“Who attacked the Orlu people? He (Uzodinma) made it known that he was the one who invited soldiers to Orlu, yet pointed fingers at another group.

“I don’t think any reasonable Biafran will attack fellow Biafrans in the process of fighting with the military”.

BNL threatened to “sack all oil companies operating within the Bakassi Peninsula controlled side of Nigeria in the Gulf of Guinea”.

The statement added that the government cannot be using the Southern region’s oil wealth to fight the people of the East.
