BIAFRA NEWS : 2023 , Peter Obi can’t compromise Biafra agitation, we don’t know him – IPOB fires back at Gumi

 


The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Wednesday lashed out at controversial Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi over his comment that the

 emergence of Peter Obi as the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate has slowed down Biafra agitation in the Southeast.

However, IPOB believes that Obi’s involvement in Nigerian politics can’t compromise the agitation for Biafra.

DAILY POST reported that Gumi said the emergence of Obi as LP presidential candidate had slowed down the agitation for Biafra.

The cleric had said the Obi’s movement had reduced IPOB’s activities, thereby bringing relative peace to the Southeast.

Condemning Gumi’s remark, IPOB reiterated that it does not recognize Obi as a Biafran because he opted to engage in Nigerian politics.

The separatist group noted that Obi’s involvement in the presidential race won’t affect its agitation for Biafra. 


IPOB stressed that it does not engage in Nigeria’s election process because it’s “shambolic” and fraudulent.

A statement by IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, described Gumi as clueless and uninformed about its activities.

The statement reads partly: “The attention of the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra under the command of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been drawn to the unguarded statements from Sheikh Gumi, alleging that IPOB agitation has slowed down in the South Eastern region since Peter Obi picked up the tickets from Labour Party for presidential race in Nigeria.

“We understand that some unscrupulous elements in Nigeria, especially Fulani elements, were thinking that Peter Obi who is among those running the race to become Nigeria President would affect us or change our decisions to pursue the freedom of our dear Nation Biafra.


“We have said it before now that IPOB does not know Peter Obi and Peter Obi does not know IPOB. If Peter Obi knows IPOB and its aims and objectives, he wouldn’t have come out in the first place to contest or waste his wealth and vast knowledge, talent and wisdom which God Almighty gave and blessed Biafrans with in the Zoological Republic.

“We can never slow down agitation until Biafra comes.”

IPOB said Gumi and his likes would not understand how Biafra would be actualized.

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...
