Biafra: Why Ndigbo must rise up against Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB now – South East group

The Coalition of South East Professionals Network in Nigeria and Diaspora (CSEPNND), has called on Igbo leaders to rise up against the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and his group.

The group was reacting to a recent statement credited to the separatist group that IPOB will never support any presidential aspirant from Igbo land in 2023.

IPOB hinged their reason on the fact that most of the people eyeing the nation’s number one seat are traitors and would not make any difference.

While reacting to the statement, the South East described the comment by Emma Powerful, IPOB spokesman as unfortunate and unpatriotic.

He said the comment is a clear indication that Kanu and his IPOB warriors don’t have the interest of Ndigbo at heart.

CSEPNND in statement by the group’s National President, Prof. Madumere Chika and National Secretary, Mazi Anayo Uchemba, calle don Ndigbo to stop Kanu and his group immediately.

He said, “The poorly circulated press release by a terrorist group under Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, published in some few national papers yesterday, expressing its refusal to support the agitation for Igbo presidency come 2023, has vindicated our stand that IPOB and its fugitive leader, Nnamdi Kanu, are anti-Igbo working with some enemies of Igbo nation to thwart its chance to produce the next president of Nigeria.

“We had earlier alerted our people that desperate politicians feeling threatened of the chances of Igbo to produce the president in 2023 were sponsoring Nnamdi Kanu, leader of outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, to scuttle the bid. The position of IPOB has obviously confirmed this. They are traitors hence we must rise up and end their activities in Igbo land now.

“Like we said earlier, we reiterate here that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not working for the interest of Ndigbo, rather he is being bankrolled by a certain Nigerian politician who is contesting the 2023 presidential elections from the South against the Igbos.”
