The Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB) has said that its leader, Nnamdi Kanu remains the director of Radio
Biafra, against a recent announcement purportedly from the station, which named
one Ezenwachukwu Sampson Okwudili as Kanu’s replacement.
Radio Biafra, which recently
bounced back to air, had in its maiden broadcast named what the company perceived
as sins of Kanu, which included, “Personalization of the Biafran struggle and
derailing from the core objectives of IPOB as a grassroots movement,” as
reasons for his removal.
But in a press statement signed
by Mr Emma Powerful, media and publicity secretary of IPOB, the group fingered
the federal government as being behind the announcement, saying that it was
part of the plot to divide it.
Powerful said this was done to
deflect attention from the multiple fronts of attack IPOB has subjected the Buhari
regime to.
It said, “The DSS and their
propaganda arm, the Ministry of Information came up with this laughable
concoction about the dismissal of our leader, which they know, even by their
own very low standards of news management, is so hilarious that no sane mind
will believe it.”
IPOB said the news of the removal
is unbelievable to any sane mind because Kanu personally established the radio
station in London and IPOB, and removing him was tantamount to saying that the
Sun was no longer part of the solar system.
The release read in part,
“Biafrans and the entire humanity know that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was abducted by
Nigerian soldiers on the 14th September 2017, therefore no amount of fake
stories about our leader and our movement planted through government friendly
media houses, will dent our resolve to restore Biafra.
“For anyone to believe that
faceless hitherto unheard of individuals can wake up one evening and announce
the replacement of a man that commands 50 million people with presence in over
100 countries of the world, making him only second to Pope Francis as the
personality with the largest cult following on earth, is plain stupid.
“Anybody who peddles or believes
such a story needs his or her brain examined. This is another classic DSS engineered
subterfuge that fell flat on its face as all on their previous efforts to
rubbish the personality of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu did. Many more weird and ludicrous
stories will emerge in the coming days. The more IPOB applies the pressure, the
more bizarre the antics of this shambolic APC Government becomes.”
The group said the announcement
was the same as past attempts to divide IPOB, which led to the creation of
REIPOB, TRIPOB, RENIPOB, SEXIPOB, all of which never saw the light of the day.
It continued that, “We have all
become accustomed to the crude antics of this shameless Nigerian Government and
her security agencies who are so desperate to create confusion and pandemonium
within the hierarchy of IPOB. That they came up with this ludicrous propaganda of
the replacement of the irreplaceable IPOB leader is confirmation of their
desperation.”
On the allegation that Kanu
abandoned his colleagues who were imprisoned alongside with him as one of the
reason for his removal, Powerful noted “IPOB is arguably the most disciplined
mass movement in the world today, if not all the years of torture of Benjamin
Madubugwu, David Nwawuisi and Bright Chimezie Ishinwa would have provided DSS
the key witness against Kanu in the treasonable felony trial they have been
looking for.:
“This fabricated news of the
sacking of our leader is nothing more than mere childish prank played by
unintelligent people in a supposedly intelligence agency. No right thinking
person would waste his or her time on such nonsensical gimmick.”
