A Chieftain of the All
Progressive Congress, APC, Comrade Chinedu Ogah has alleged that the leader of
the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu is using the agitation for
Biafra to siphon money from different categories of Nigerians.
Ogah, who made the claim while addressing
journalists in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital, over the weekend,
maintained that the activities of the Kanu-led IPOB was neither genuine nor in
the collective interest of the Igbos.
The APC chieftain described
Kanu’s followers as touts and hoodlums who do not have any meaningful venture
occupying their minds but violence and riotous lifestyle.
He also noted that the struggle
for the realisation of the sovereign state of Biafra was a mirage as it was not
feasible.
According to Ogah, “Biafra is not
realisable and you know it. I believe in one Nigeria. Igbo are the ones killing
themselves. If we change our attitude everything will change around us. The
position other tribes are occupying today, Igbo had occupied it before. But
what did they do with it?
“They go into these positions and
take all the benefits accruable to them without recourse to their brothers and
sisters back home.
“Our representatives are the
problems. Who and who have they given jobs or empowered at both the state and
federal level? Our problem is greed, selfishness and lack of concern for one
another”.
Noting that nobody is
marginalising Igbo people, Ogah said, “we are the ones marginalising ourselves
because of the kind of Igbo leaders who have represented us and are still doing
so till date.”
“We are the causes of our
problems; Nnamdi Kanu is using his so-called IPOB to siphon money from
different categories of Nigerians; most of the people working with him are
touts and unemployed youths and the likes; I believe in one Nigeria; Igbo are
not marginalised; we are the ones marginalising ourselves,” he added.
