Former Abia State Governor, Orji
Uzor Kalu, has warned the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, to be civil in
their activities and stop misinterpreting every of his comment.
Following an alleged raid of
Kanu’s residence in Umuahia, the Abia State capital on September 14, the IPOB
leader has not been seen or heard from, a situation that led to the
disclosure by the former governor.
Aggrieved by Kalu’s claim, IPOB
and Kanu’s lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, described the former governor as a drowning
man looking for relevance.
IPOB had also threatened to
drag Kalu, alongside the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai before
a court of competent jurisdiction over the disappearance of its leader.
Reacting to the mirage of attacks
on his person, Kalu reminded the group of his efforts in aiding both Kanu and
the group in the past.
In a statement he signed, Kalu,
“I believe everyone has right priorities and knows what really matters.For
instance, our Igbo brothers are safe in the North and our minds are settled
over their property, and that’s what matters.
“Dancing to the beats of a
popular drum isn’t top of my list. These boys hurling abuses and insults on
everyone that stands against division are simply ignorant.I forgive them.”
“I had wished the IPOB were more
civil to monitor their utterances, and not take up a duty of attacking my
personality and leaving the issue I raised.
“I wonder how IPOB easily forgot
their lines. They have had many of their detained members bailed through my
intervention.
“Would it be appropriate for even
somebody like Emma Powerful to heap unprintable insults and accusations on me?
I bailed him out when he was detained.
“When Nnamdi was in prison, I was
the first to visit him, opening doors for others to do same. I did that because
he is my brother. Although he showed a lot of appreciations during the visit
but he still maintained his ground on Biafra.
“For the sake of posterity, I
have made my stand clear. In a restructured Nigeria, Igbo people would be
better off. We got it wrong in 1967 and we need to get it right now, else we
get it wrong again.”
