Stop Using Nnamdi Kanu’s Detention for Selfish Political Gain – IPOB Warns Igbo Politicians

 According to IPOB, most of the South-East politicians claiming they are working towards Kanu’s release are engaging in mere rhetorics.

 

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has slammed Igbo politicians accusing them of using the detention of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu for selfish political gains.

 

IPOB stated this on Monday via its spokesman, Emma Powerful.

Emma Powerful said most of the South-East politicians claiming they are working towards Kanu’s release are engaging in mere rhetorics.

 

According to Powerful: “The noble family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led by the great leader Mazi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu wish to warn some of the Igbo acclaimed politicians and leaders to stop using the name of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for their selfish political gains.

“The IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi KANU, is not languishing in the DSS solitary confinement for Nigerian politics but for the freedom of Biafrans and to restore Biafra Nation.

“IPOB commends Ndigbo for not participating in the #EndBadGovernance protest in Nigeria. Though Ndigbo are highly marginalized and ostracized politically and economically, we have built survival resilience through decades of persecution in Nigeria.

“If Ndigbo had taken part in the protest, the Federal Government would have sent troops to destroy Igbo land and kill many Igbo civilians. IPOB has the interest and safety of our people at heart even as we continue to strategize on Biafra’s freedom.

“We advise Ndigbo to jettison the idea of some people using the name of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in advancing their selfish political interest. Some of the social media talks about visiting Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in detention and working for his release are just political rhetoric.

“IPOB has nothing to do with many of them until Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is out of the illegal detention in DSS headquarters in Abuja.

“Those using the suffering of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to advance their political interest should desist, otherwise IPOB will call you out publicly and also frustrate your political interest in the South-East.”
