The Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, on Wednesday dismissed insinuations in certain quarters that its leader,
Nnamdi Kanu was sacked.
IPOB maintained that the elusive
Kanu remains, “indisputable leader and shall so remain until Biafra is
restored.”
In a statement by its Head of
Directorate of State, Mazi Chika Edoziem, the pro-Biafra group said no one has
ever thought of removing or replacing him.
The group accused the Nigerian
Government of sponsoring some individuals to concoct lies against it.
The statement reads, “The highest
decision making body of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is the
Directorate of State (DOS) headquartered in Germany and headed by Mazi Chika
Edoziem, under the supreme command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the
prophet of our time.
“We the Directorate of State of
the Indigenous People of Biafra wish to state unequivocally to all and sundry
that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the indisputable leader of IPOB and shall remain so
until Biafra is restored. Anybody entertaining or peddling anything to the
contrary is high on mind bending drugs. Whether alive, dead or missing, the
title of supreme leader of IPOB will forever reside with him. No other person
will ever inherit that title. In the unlikely event that he is no longer with
us, the position of the supreme leader of IPOB will be retired and no other
individual within or outside the great family of IPOB will ever be addressed as
such.
“It came to the knowledge of the
decision making body of this great worldwide organisation that some faceless
and unscrupulous individuals and groups are fabricating and concocting lies
against our divinely ordained leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the great IPOB
family.
“IPOB under the leadership of
Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is still intact and he will forever remain the leader
and commander of the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB. No one has ever thought
of removing or replacing him and nobody in their right mind will dare
contemplate such.
“A man that rejected unimaginable
riches from the Nigerian government, refused to be compromised by the Igbo
political class, lives a humble life in his father’s house, with no regard for
material wealth, is worthy of praise not replacement, especially at this
critical time the Nigerian military is holding him incommunicado.
“It smacks of insensitivity of
the highest order bothering on madness for any faceless entity to have the
audacity to impugn the integrity of the only upright honest leader in the whole
of Biafraland and Nigeria as a whole. Many ethnic nationalities in Nigeria is
today praying to produce an Nnamdi Kanu that will fight selflessly for them.
Most will do literally anything to have such a respected and loved leader.
“Biafrans should be wary of
certain shameless individuals and groups who specialise in peddling lies on the
pages of Nigerian newspapers against a noble organization like ours for peanuts
they hope to receive from their DSS handlers. IPOB must continue in its God
mandated pursuit of freedom for Biafra no matter the level of sponsored
propaganda against us.
“Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains
the supreme leader of IPOB irrespective of propaganda and attacks making the
rounds that he has been sacked. it is unfortunate and surprising that some
Biafrans still don’t know that IPOB is under immense media attack by the well
resourced APC media propaganda team headed by one Festus Keyamo. Therefore, we
must remain mentally strong to prove to the whole world how formidable and
resilient we are at this moment in our history. This is the time for IPOB
family members worldwide, including all the lovers of freedom, to show the
enemies of Biafra how serious we are towards the cause for Biafra independence.
“The Nigerian government and her
cabals are disorganised and in one almighty mess because of the order given by
IPOB to the people of Biafra to boycott every election in Biafraland starting
with this Anambra State governorship election coming up on Saturday 18th
November 2017. The boycott of this election in Anambra State must be
accomplished to prove to the civilised nations of the world that we are no
longer interested in anything concerning Nigeria, her government and politics.
“IPOB under the leadership of
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu must maintain the stand to boycott every election in
Biafraland. The Nigerian government, having been defeated by our superior
argument, have unedifyingly resorted to wasting huge sums of money on sustained
negative media attacks. This new line of attack cannot alter our resolve to
boycott every election, particularly this one on Saturday the 18th of November
2017.
“We are fully aware that Nigerian
government used the unfounded and fabricated story of the sacking of our leader
to deflect our attention away from organising resistance to the visit of Buhari
the arch genocidist. After we are done on Saturday in Anambra State, Nigerian
government and her ruling corrupt cabal will understand how serious and
determined IPOB is towards the liberation of our people.
“We are almost at the door of
freedom, no one can stop or quench it. That is why Nigeria government decided
to use fabricated and concocted lies against IPOB and our leader Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu. They have failed spectacularly as they always do.”
