Nnamdi Kanu
By Emeka Mamah
ENUGU —THE Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has asked the Federal Government to complete its current theatricals on the whereabouts of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, by either charging him to court or handing him over to the British government.
IPOB spoke in a statement signed by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, in Enugu, yesterday.
The statement read in part: “With recent leaked intelligence on the whereabouts of our leader, widely reported on all major news platforms, exposing where the Nigerian government kept our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, we expect the same Nigerian Army that abducted him to charge him to court or release him to the British government.
“Despite the best efforts of Aso Rock propaganda unit, in concert with some lazy Igbo people (Igbo Efulefus) to sweep the deadly army invasion of Isiama Afaraukwu on September 14, 2017 that resulted in the death of 28 people, under the carpet, this timely intelligence information has nailed their lies to the mast for the world to see.
“It is now clear to all and sundry that orchestrated sightings of our leader in Cameroon, Ghana, Niger Delta creeks, Malaysia, London and other weird and wonderful places were lies concocted and planted in mainstream Nigeria media to fool and confuse the public.”
Igbo presidency can’t stop Biafra – BNYL fires back at BuhariPublished on July 4, 2018 By Seun Opejobi
Biafra Nations Youth League, BNYL, has condemned the statement credited to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Boss Mustapha that his re-election will pave way for Igbo Presidency.
National Leader of BNYL, Princewill Richard said Igbo presidency “cannot quench the agitations for Biafra.”
In a statement sent to DAILY POST, Richard said, “It’s an insult to exchange Biafra with Igbo Presidency, if the Igbo wants Presidency they should take it, not when it is being given to them, because whoever gives you something would take it at any point in time.
“Take for example, Goodluck Jonathan was given Presidency and the same people collected it.”
Richard also accused the President of trying to hoodwink the people of South East region “who are not in anywhere found in his government”.
The group said the alleged marginalization of ethnic groups of the former Eastern region cannot be addressed by Igbo Presidency.
BNYL further disclosed that the group has taken over grassroots structures in some towns in Cross River, Akwa Ibom and Rivers State where it enjoys more support at the grassroots.
“Our members have taken over some community youth leadership, and Okada Union in towns like Ikom, Obudu, Bakassi, Esit-Eket, Onna,Oyigbo and Andoni.
“We participate in every community elections because without these grassroots structures we have leakages in the struggle,” he said.
