Leader of the Proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu has called on Igbos to ignore claims by the presidency that
Father Ejike Mbaka criticised the President because he was
denied contracts but rather defend their brother.
Recall that the priest on Friday called on President
Muhammadu Buhari to resign for failing to address the lingering security crisis
across the country.
Mbaka who claimed that the president has failed woefully
urged the National Assembly to ensure that Buhari is impeached if he failed to
resign.
The call generated controversy as the president alleged that
Mbaka’s comment followed Buhari’s refusal to grant him contracts after he made
the request.
A statement by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the
President on Media and Publicity, said Mabaka had visited the president at the
State House demanding contracts as a reward for his support in the 2015 and
2019 general elections.
Garba Shehu claimed Mbaka once brought three contractors to
the President and insisted he must be rewarded for his support to the
President.
However, Buhari informed him that due process must be followed.
Reacting, the IPOB leader, in a post on his official
Facebook page on Saturday urged the Igbo people not to hate their fellow
Biafran.
The post reads: “Rev. Father Mbaka MUST be defended
regardless of his perceived faults.
“Don’t allow the trusted character assassination antics of
the Janjaweed Caliphate to cause you to hate your own.
“After we subdue the Caliphate we can then come home and
allocate blame in-house. Never join outsiders to destroy your own”.
