IPOB moves against Peter Obi, rejects Igbo presidency
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has kicked presidential ambition of the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
The group said they are no in support of Igbo presidency nor a Nigerian President of Southeast extraction.
Emma Powerful, the spokesman of the separatist group, said Nigeria was irredeemable.
In a statement he signed, Powerful said: “The Igbo people rallying behind Peter Obi are not IPOB members because IPOB’s goal is the disintegration of the Nigerian enterprise irrespective of whether Peter Obi or anyone else from the Biafran geographic space is contesting in the Nigerian farce of an election.
“IPOB is a freedom fighting movement and has nothing whatsoever to do with or in Nigerian politics. So long as we in IPOB are concerned, Nigeria is irredeemable.”
