| We didn’t disown Nnamdi Kanu as our leader - IPOB |
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has disassociated itself from the position of a former President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Dr. Dozie Ikedife, disclaiming Mr. Nnamdi Kanu as the leader of the group. In a statement issued and signed by IPOB’s Director of Media and Publicity, Emma Powerful, copy of which was made available to the media, IPOB, restated its loyalty to the leadership of Kanu, and described Ikedife’s statement as a mischief that should be discountenanced.
“IPOB worldwide under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who is being tried for a trumped up treasonable charge at the Federal High Court, Abuja, condemned Ikedife over the statement credited to him that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not the leader of IPOB. We say it is not true”.
“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu appointed Dr. Dozie Ikedife and others as members of the elders forum for IPOB in advisory capacity until the elders forum and Dozie Ikedife started campaigning for APC in 2014, prompting Kanu to dissolve the forum and asked them to stop using Biafra’s name to campaign for any political party”.
“IPOB also discovered that Ikedife was working against the restoration of Biafra as he has submitted his first son’s credentials and CV to Buhari to give him a job in Abuja and this is a man who want us to believe in him” IPOB stated. IPOB also condemned what he described as the fabrications by one Mr. Stephen Onwu, parading himself in the media as an Igbo elder statesman and a member of IPOB.
“We don’t know such person and warn that he should stop using IPOB to become relevant in the society or in the APC and Buhari government”.
