Biafra: Nnamdi Kanu is declaring war, he ordered his followers to kill some people in Igboland – Iwuanyanwu blasts IPOB leader

Elder statesman, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, has come hard on leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) over his constant agitation for a new country for Ndigbo.

He said Kanu is only declaring war and endangering the lives of his Igbo brothers and sisters with his agitation.

Iwuanyanwu stated this when the leadership of the Coalition of South East Youth Leaders (COSEYL) conferred on him the award as its grand patron in Owerri, the Imo State capital.

His words, “Igbo youths must avoid circumstances that they do not understand. What IPOB did during the #ENDSARS protests was very heinous. Their leader went about taking responsibility for issues and destructions they knew nothing about.

“You (Nnamdi Kanu) can’t come on your own and declare Biafra and ask me, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, to follow you. Even in a monarchical system, people’s opinions are sought. What do you have that you are declaring war here and there? You are only endangering the lives of your brothers, the youth who you claim to lead. You have to come and seek advice from Igbo elders. They’re the people that will guide you.

“He also ordered his followers to kill some people in Igboland. If you give orders for another person to be killed in your place, don’t be surprised that your people will be killed also. There is no place in Nigeria that you can’t find an Igbo man. So, ordering the killing of anyone in your community is endangering your people. Apart from the fact that most of our population live outside Igboland, Igbo investment outside Igboland is over $2trillion,” he said.
