.Says ex-president, Nnamdi Kanu think alike about Nigeria
The Indeginous People of Biafra (IPOB ) has applauded the former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, for his advice to President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria on the state of affairs in the country.
It stated that Obasanjo’s views tallied with those of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
In a statement by the group’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB pointed out that the only difference in the view of the two was that Obasanjo’s view point was more encompassing.
Praising Obasanjo, IPOB said the letter “was carefully timed to deliver a devastating blow to the scavenging class of political prostitutes in Igboland that shamelessly went to hawk their wares in Abuja a few days ago.
It described as shameless the endorsement of Buhari for 2019 by some members of All Progressives Congress from the South East, tagging them, “undignified individuals under the banner Igbo leaders.
“We support Obasanjo for his timely intervention because at a time of national crisis and with people losing their lives all across the Middlebelt and Southern Nigeria, anybody discussing partisan politics under such an atmosphere of mass misery is not fit to be regarded as a human being talk less a leader.
“What Obasanjo said is the clearest endorsement of the philosophy of our leader and prophet of our time, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, that the only way to reign in a dictatorship is by confronting it head on with the truth.
“Obasanjo has spoken the truth and should be applauded for it. Those hungry and insatiable APC yes men that visited Aso Rock to endorse Buhari for 2019 under the banner of Igbo leaders should all cover their collective faces in shame.
“They have brought shame and dishonor to Igboland by openly embracing a mass murderer and genocidist”.
The group further said that
Obasanjo had seen the inherent danger of Buhari administration continuing and commended Prof. Ben Nwabueze and Chief Mbazuluike Amaechi for speaking in that direction without fear or favour for some time now.
IPOB claimed that from analysis of Obasanjo’s statement that the new coalition he is calling for is something similar to what IPOB is doing, but on broader all encompassing scale that will include all ethnic groups in Nigeria rather than one restricted to Biafra alone.
