The Indigenous People of Biafra has lashed out at a former Governor of Kano State and presidential candidate of New Nigeria Peoples Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso, saying that he should not link the group with the ambition of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.

This was as the group stressed that it was not interested in the nation’s “corrupt and fraudulent” politics, adding that its main target was the liberation of the Biafra people.

The group observed that Obi was neither a member of IPOB nor ed its cause at any point in time.

IPOB Director of Media and Publicity, Emma Powerful, stated this in a statement on Tuesday, a copy of which was made available to The PUNCH.

The statement read, “The global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra, under the command and leadership of our great leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wishes to advise the former Governor Kano State Rabiu Kwankwoso not to involve IPOB in the selection process they call election in Nigeria.

“The Nigerian politicians generally and Kwankwaso, in particular, should desist from linking IPOB with Peter Obi, his political ambition and campaign. Peter Obi is not an IPOB member and never ed our agitation for freedom at any time because he pursues a totally different goal from that of the Indigenous People of Biafra.

“We have no interest in the Nigerian morally decadent and fantastically corrupt political system and landscape.

“If Kwankwaso is threatened by Labour party and Peter Obi’s teeming by the creative and talented but downtrodden, neglected, deceived, deprived, killed (#Endsars) Nigerian youths from even the North which your generation do not have any good intentions for, then he should go forward and settle his differences and stop linking IPOB to their problem.”

It added, “IPOB is a disciplined movement and we do not speak from both sides of the mouth. Our singular objective is to extricate our people from the debilitating environment that prevents Biafrans from attaining our fullest potential as human beings, exit from the contraption called Nigeria and be able to determine our fate through putting to use our intrinsic endowments and ingenuity in an enabling environment in a free and Independent Biafran Nation.

“Peter Obi is not a member of IPOB and he is neither agitating nor in of our Self Determination struggle. Why associate him with IPOB’s struggle for freedom. IPOB does not know who Peter Obi is going by our biodata bank.

“Our demand is our inalienable rights to self-determination and this we seek through a universally recognised and accepted political process called referendum as stipulated by the United Nations Charter.

“IPOB wish to use this medium and opportunity to warn every politician in Nigeria to desist from linking IPOB with their politics and selection process because we are not politicians and have no common interest. We are freedom fighters.”

Good

is still Biafra or death?

Foolish ipob pigs on the beat again.

If they are not related to pandora hoebi, why did Nigeria suddenly "cease" to be a zoo and shithole?

Why have some disparaging descriptions suddenly stopped surfacing since pandora hoebi ed his structureless inconsequential party?

What happened to cows, headslammmers, afonja muslim miscreants, fulani slaves etc?

Ipob pigs are worse than terrorists.

Ask IPOB na

LeoDeKing:

BMC afar?

Interesting times ahead...

We need vote into all leadership positions young visionary leaders come 2023 and most importantly vote out both APC & PDP alike

numericalguy:



It seems IGBO people are very poor in English. How can Peter Obi who is above 60 years be considered a youth

Though I'm not Igbo but I'm sure you lack comprehension ability...the word there is YOUNG...not youth...if you prefer those other ancestors then you are part of Nigerian problem ...learn how to read to comprehend rather than show your toxic ignorance on a public space as NL...I'm not your regular guy ...#NigerDelta.

Hussein035:



Igbos and hatred for others are 5&6. So kwankwaso is not young, Sowore that is less than 50 is not young, the son of MKO Abiola is not young.

Igbos need to rest

You can vote for any yourself..FYI it's still a choice....and I'm not Igbo..lolz


@Seniorwriter

Me I'm just Waiting for peter obi withdrawal from the presidential race, 2023 is strictly between two failures..

Atiku and Tinubu

This might not make it to Front page because it doesn't serve the evil narrative against Peter.

Peter's campaign reminds me of Buhari in 2014. Nothing people didn't say to stop Buhari.

The more they criticized him and pulled up his past the more his followership kept growing.

Kwankwaso is leaving in denial.

He wants to use Obi to win election and ditch him in 2028. Nonse.

Kwankwaso arrogates importance he doesn't have.

When Kwankwaso was in PDP, how many votes did PDP get in Kano. Leave matter. Voters will decide.

Let Nigerians decide who leads them next year.

Terrorists wan dey disguise.

Pandora is an ipob project. Wanna know this, look no further than his reluctance to call them out over anything, and the attitude of his ers towards any opposition.

Pandora will come a distant FOURTH in the forthcoming election. Here's what it would be..

1. Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

2. Atiku Alcanarooni.

3. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

4. Peter Him Tu Lie Pandora Hoebi.

Patronize us and never regret.

Tinubu the thieving goat in hospital ran away to prevent disgrace.

If these idiotic politicians had done the right thing by promoting fairness, justice and equity, why would anyone be agitating to secede?

Kwankwanso is feeling too big. Peter Obi should go for a relatively popular northerner to run with. Everyone should meet at the polls.

Meanwhile, Peter Obi's victory is not a do or die affair. But if Nigeria misses that man in 2023, Zimbabwe would be a child's play.

k.

Even Kwankwaso has seen the handwriting on the wall that Peter Obi movement is too strong and will sweep all of them out in 2023. Instead of Kwankwaso to strip off himself pride and become Peter Obi"s running mate, he is there carrying propaganda against Peter Obi.

He should know that politics of tribe and religion cannot work for them because the youths and sane Nigerians are solidly behind Peter Obi"s movement.

it is biafra or death

Mazi Simon Ekpa

Tinubu urchins said peter Obi is an Igbo project. Can we likely say tinubu is a Yoruba project?

I just don't know Why some people have decided to suffer! How can a sane person choose Tinubu and Atiku over Obi? Nigerians wake up! You might never see someone like Obi again. This is the only chance we have now to remove this Old Men and get our country working again!!!!!

The youths have gone beyond their ethnic politics.
Peter Obi is the Youth agenda.

I don’t know how southerners came to the conclusion that a known bigoted religious extremist like Kwankwanso is the best choice to a bright candidate like Peter Obi. Are you guys under a spell? Do you want that bigot to destabilise Obi’s government if he won?

Kwankwanso tours the country promoting Fulani agenda unapologetically. Why do you think he was edged out of the political mainstream? He has proven to be a difficult primitive promoter of parochial ideology. Dude is greedy for power. Most reasonable northern politicians don’t even deal with him. And you think Obi can work with him?

That guy is a million times worse than Buhari in of tribal and religious bigotry. You think APC will let his violent divisive cult called a party win Kano? You are joking!

Kwankwaso should goan look for his running mate and leave Peter Obi alone

In all these I like Peter Obi because he doesn't respond Kwankwaso and the others in spite of their continous rants.

If not for peter Obi, nobody will know Kwankwaso,

If not for Igbo, Lagos would have be in like Anambra

If not for Igbo, Port Harcourt would still be like abia.

Let respect this tribe, thank God rot them, America would stil be like sambisa

Cool
