Governor Umahi Blasts IPOB’s Nnamdi Kanu, Says He’s A Deceiver

Umahi Carpets IPOB’s Nnamdi Kanu

The Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi has accused Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) of defrauding gullible Igbo people.

The Governor said Kanu is hiding under the deceit of IPOB to promote his personal issues while using social media to gain cheap popularity.

Umahi further accused the IPOB leader of promoting fraudulent activities in the name of IPOB while promising Igbo people a sovereign Biafra.

He said, “Our people are being deceived to spend huge among of money to finance what they know nothing about while Nnamdi Kanu spend it on his personal issues.”

Naija News understands the Governor’s stand may be a response to Nnamdi Kanu who had earlier accused Umahi and the Miyetti Allah of causing the death of Biafrans in Ebonyi.

Kanu had back in November said on Twitter that: “The brutalization of our people in Ebonyi state will surely be AVENGED.

“This is a formal notice to all, including Miyetti Allah and Dave Umahi that sooner than later, they will account for every injury, torture, and death of every Biafran.”

“How, when and where is left for us to determine.”

IPOB Reacts To The Creation Of Amotekun For South-west

The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has praised South-West governor for the establishing a security outfit, South West Security Network also known as Operation Amotekun.

Naija News recalls that the governors of the regions have constituted the outfit to tackle challenges of insecurity including kidnapping and banditry in the region.

Reacting in a statement by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, IPOB described the establishment of Amotekun was a courageous move to protect people of the South West region.

The statement reads: “We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great and indomitable leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu commend South-West governors, elders, stakeholders and politicians for their doggedness and courage to protect their people and their region from the evil hands of Fulani terrorists herdsmen and Nigeria government jihadi soldiers- the systematic strategy and effort of the ruling Fulani cabal to continually provide financial and logistical support to Fulani terrorists and Islamic extremists in military and police uniforms to rampage and kill innocent citizens at will.

“This is not the first time in recent weeks that our leader’s position and approach has been vindicated by events and utterances from other ethnic groups within Nigeria. The inescapable truth remains that Bishop Kukah’s commendable utterances about the Jihadi intent of the present regime in Nigeria and formation of a Yoruba vigilante by OPC are all lines of reasoning and event consistently canvassed and championed by IPOB in the past. The fact remains that Nigeria as presently constituted is the greatest threat to life and peace.

“The Yoruba decision and effort to launch Operation Amotekun security outfit just like our leader launched BSS in 2017 is most commendable.

“What we find horribly appalling however is that those who were at the forefront of misrepresenting and condemning our leader for having the vision and foresightedness to challenge Fulani terrorism in Nigeria are today praise-singing the introduction of Amotekun.

“Even the shamelessly treacherous Ohaneze Ndigbo and South-East Governors Forum that actively connived with their Fulani masters to launch a deadly military invasion of Biafraland on the back of the launch of BSS are today openly praising Yoruba leaders for backing OPC’s Amotekun project when they themselves heartlessly sold out IPOB for a pot of porridge.

“Notwithstanding the barefaced envy and jealousy directed towards IPOB by some political class and sections of uninformed talking heads, we IPOB are delighted that we continue to set the pace of radical thinking and social change within and outside Nigeria.

“IPOB wholeheartedly welcome Amotekun and say good morning to those who out of ignorance, poor sense of vision, lack of reasoning and self-consuming jealousy fought against the formation BSS. They should cover their faces in shame if they have any face left after this.

“It is about time people acknowledged openly and without shame that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is always right.”

Date Fixed For Burial Of Nnamdi Kanu’s Parents

Nnamdi Kanu‘s parents late HRH Eze Israel Okwu Kanu and his wife late Ugoeze Sally Nmeme Okwu-Kanu will be buried on Valentine’s day, Friday, February 14, 2020.

Naija News reports that this was disclosed by Prince Emmanuel Okwu Kanu, the youngest son of the late monarch on Monday while addressing members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) from Isiala Ngwa local government area of Abia state who paid the family a condolence visit.

Addressing the IPOB members, Prince Kanu said that the death of his parents proves that Biafra has come.

His words: “Death is a natural phenomenon awaiting every living thing, my father use to tell me same thing while he was still alive.

“Death is a natural phenomenon awaiting every living thing, my father use to tell me same thing while he was still alive.

”However, every one of us must have it in mind that this is the last sacrifice. After the deaths of my parents, so many things began to happen. Things that were difficult initially became so

In all, I am praying to our fallen heroes and heroines to join forces with my parents towards the struggle, while we that are living do same.

“Biafra has come, because, after the death of my mom, I had that conviction then followed my dad. Then I knew that it is complete, because I can attest to the fact that there have been a lot of improvements in the struggle since their deaths.

“Their burial date has been fixed, and it’s on 14th February. We had it captioned ‘Saints Kanu, The Lovers Burial,’ Prince Emmanuel concluded.

Naija News recalls that Eze Kanu’s death was confirmed by the traditional council of his community led by Edward Ibeabuchi in December 2019, four months after his wife, Ugoeze Sally Kanu, died in Germany.

IPOB To Back Operation Amotekun – Nnamdi Kanu

The Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has vowed to support the newly established South-west security outfit, Amotekun.

Naija News reports that governors from Oyo, Ogun, Osun, Ondo, Ekiti, and Lagos States had in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital established the security outfit.

They explained that Amotekun was established to tackle the issues of insecurity in the Southwest.

But the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, had asked south-west governors to disband the security outfit.

He said that no other authority at the state level, whether the executive or legislature has the legal authority over defence.

“The setting up of the paramilitary organization called “Amotekun” is illegal and runs contrary to the provisions of the Nigerian law.

“The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) has established the Army, Navy and Airforce, including the Police and other numerous paramilitary organisations for the purpose of the defence of Nigeria.

“As a consequence of this, no State Government, whether singly or in a group has the legal right and competence to establish any form of organization or agency for the defence of Nigeria or any of its constituent parts,” Malami said.

In a statement through IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful, Nnamdi Kanu praised South-west governor for setting up the security outfit.

Kanu said: “The final and definitive stance of the Biafran people is that IPOB will support Operation Amotekun with all our might.

“Regardless of the history of politics of treachery that may have existed between the East and the West in the past, our leaders have sworn to work with this generation of Yoruba leadership with the likes of Pa Ayo Adebanjo, Yinka Odumakin, Femi Fani-Kayode and Omoleye Sowore at the helm.

“I will support this generation of Yorubas that setup AMOTEKUN. IPOB will work with them. If they want one million men, I will give them to make sure the Fulani Caliphate murderous expansionism is stopped. We will support the Yorubas in all forms and by every means necessary. To hell with the Fulanis.

‘IPOB will back AMOTEKUN Security Outfit. AMOTEKUN is not going anywhere. They are here to stay and IPOB will support them’.

Buhari Fighting War Against Igbo In Nigeria – Nnamdi Kanu

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, says the administration of President Muhamadu Buhari is still fighting a war against the Igbo people as if the Nigerian Civil War has not ended.

Naija News reports that Kanu made this statement during the live broadcast on Radio Biafra on Wednesday, January 15, to mark the “Biafra War 50th Anniversary.”

This online news platform understands that the IPOB leader said in the eyes of President Buhari and those in the seat of power in Aso Rock, the Nigerian-Biafra war has not ended, as “they are still fighting it with their dehumanising treatment against the Igbo.”

Kanu lamented that: “The level of conspiracy, hatred, and destruction unleashed on the things cherished by Biafrans by the current administration are unspeakable, unacceptable and uncondoneable by any peace-loving section of the country.”

The IPOB leader, however, stressed that even in the face of the maltreatment of Igbo, “without apologies to anybody or group, we are the best of the best and finest of the finest you can find anywhere in the world. I say this without apologies to anyone or group.

His words: “The war against the Igbo has not ended. The current administration in Nigeria is still fighting the war against the Igbo as if the Civil War has not ended.

If the war of genocide against Biafrans has ended, why are Igweocha, Warri and Calabar seaports not opened? Why is Onitsha River port not functional? If the war has ended, why is there no international airport in the whole of Biafraland?

“If the war has ended, why does the Federal Government still station roadblocks across Biafraland and why are they still militarising Biafraland?

“Why is the government supporting the herdsmen to rape our old mothers and daughters across Biafraland?”

Meanwhile, Nnamdi Kanu is leading a group (IPOB) seeking secession from Nigeria. The group has since been proscribed by the Federal Government of Nigeria led by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Nnamdi Kanu Explodes Over Hope Uzodinma’s Emergence As Imo Governor

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has condemned the emergence of Hope Uzodinma as the Executive Governor of Imo State, saying the former senator is allowed as a governor “we are finished as a people.”

Naija News reports that Kanu made this statement during a live broadcast on Radio Biafra on Wednesday, January 15, to mark the “Biafra War 50th Anniversary.”

Naija News had reported earlier that the Supreme court sacked Emeka Ihedioha as governor of Imo state and affirmed Uzodinma as the winner of the March 9 governorship election.

Giving judgment on the election on Tuesday, a seven-man panel of justices in a unanimous decision, held that Ihedioha did not win the majority of votes cast in the election.

Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, who read the judgment, ordered INEC to withdraw the certificate of return issued to Ihedioha and give a fresh one to his APC rival.

“The votes due to the appellant, Hope Uzodinma and the All Progressives Congress (APC) from 388 polling units were wrongly excluded from scores ascribed to them,” Justice Kekere-Ekun ruled.

“It is hereby ordered that Emeka Ihedioha, was not duly elected by majority of lawful votes cast at the said election. His return as the elected governor of Imo state is hereby declared null and void and accordingly set aside.

“It is hereby declared that the first appellant (Uzodinma) holds the majority of lawful votes cast at the governorship election held in Imo State on March 9, 2019, and has satisfied the mandatory constitutional requirement.

“It is hereby declared that first appellant, senator Hope Uzodinma is the winner of the governorship of Imo State held on March 9, 2019.

“The certificate issued to the first respondent (Ihedioha) is hereby withdrawn. It is hereby ordered that the certificate of return shall be issued to the first appellant, senator Hope Uzodinma, forthwith and he should be sworn in as the governor of Imo State,” the judge added.

Reacting to the judgment during a live broadcast monitored by this reporter, Kanu said: “If we allow Hope Uzodinma we are finished as a people, we must not allow Fulani to dictate for us from Abuja, allow Imo people to decide.

“Fulani needs to control who controls you, hence the need to bring in Hope Uzodinma.

“If IPOB allows this gibberish in Imo State then they will circulate it to every state. So IPOB cannot allow it, Hope Uzodimma cannot rule Imo, rather call for a fresh election let the people of Imo decide with foreign observers present,” the IPOB leader added.

BIAFRA : Nnamdi Kanu To Storm Nigeria For Parents’ Burial

Barring any last-minute change, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, will return to Nigeria for the burial ceremony of his parents, Naija News understands.

Naija News had reported earlier that Nnamdi Kanu‘s parents, late HRH Eze Israel Okwu Kanu and his wife late Ugoeze Sally Nmeme Okwu-Kanu will be buried on Valentine’s day, Friday, February 14, 2020.

This was disclosed by Prince Emmanuel Okwu Kanu, the youngest son of the late monarch on Monday while addressing members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) from Isiala Ngwa local government area of Abia state who paid the family a condolence visit.

Confirming the said date in a statement on Friday, January 17, IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful, who also represents Kanu, said the burial would follow the normal burial preparation, according to the custom of the land.

Naija News reports that the IPOB Spokesperson, however, refused to disclose the security arrangements put in place for the burial in view of its sensitivity.

His words: “The burial of our leader’s parents burial will be 14th of February 2020.

We are not going to disclose our security arrangements because they are much enemies who wish to destroy or destabilize every effort made for the successful burial of the father and mother of our leader

“IPOB is on ground and nothing will change our resolve to protect the environment.”

Speaking though the IPOB spokesman, Kanu stressed the resolve of the group to maintain peaceful approach to their struggle for the actualization of Biafra republic.

“We are peaceful and will maintain it to last point. But nobody should try IPOB,” he insisted.

Naija News recalls that Eze Kanu’s death was confirmed by the traditional council of his community led by Edward Ibeabuchi in December 2019, four months after his wife, Ugoeze Sally Kanu died in Germany.

Kanu, who has been on exile, resurfaced in Israel in October 2018 but since then, the IPOB leader has not visited Nigeria where he is facing trial on treasonable felony brought against him by the Nigerian government.

However, due to the burial of his parents, there are indications that Kanu will return to Nigeria to pay last respect to his parents.

Meanwhile, Nnamdi Kanu is leading a group (IPOB) seeking secession from Nigeria. The group has since been proscribed by the Federal Government of Nigeria led by President Muhammadu Buhari.
