IPOB: WE DISOWN OHANAEZE,ELDERS AND SOUTH-EAST GOVERNORS' FORUM.

Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) has disowned the South-East Governors’ Forum, elders and Ohanaeze over their alleged role in the agitation for the release of the Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu. Mr. Emma Powerful, leader of the group said this in a statement on the heels of a warning from Anthony Nwoko, an Enugu-based prophet to President Muhammdu Buhari to desist from truncating the actualisation of a Biafra state. Powerful said IPOB rejected South-East Governors’ Forum and Ohanaeze stance on the continued incarceration of Kanu and warned the groups to desist from sabotaging the efforts of IPOB.
He described the groups as “disappointments to Ndigbo and Biafrans in general,” adding: “They can only be talking about an unconditional release of Kanu and not try to stop Biafra peaceful protests, “We will not stop until our leader is released unconditionally. Those claiming they are representing IPOB should desist from it because we don’t know them. Those calling only Igbo should know that Igbo is a language in Biafra and we have 11 tribes in Biafra land.” On his part, Nwoko warned Buhari to expedite Kanu’s release or “Heaven will strike against his administration…” Prophet Nwoko further called on the federal government to desist from killing, terrorizing and intimidating indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB and the Igbo nation as such action was inimical to the growth and development of the country. He expressed optimism that in 2019, an Igbo man would emerge as the next President of the country adding that God has chosen him to alleviate the suffering of the Igbo race and restore the lost glory of the nation. “Buhari should release Nnamdi Kanu immediately or face the wrath of Heaven. Buhari is not spiritually qualified to lead the nation and he is not the expected Prince of Peace. He is not the messiah the country is waiting for. He does not possess the heavenly gift to liberate Nigeria”. He lambasted the administration of President Buhari for marginalizing the Igbos especially in the aspect of appointments, insisting that President Buhari was not the messiah sent to change the economic misfortunes of Nigeria and Nigerians. “The next President of Nigeria will come from the South East of Nigeria; South Easterners are the light of the country. Anyone fighting them is in darkness. This message is for the five Governors of the South East, the Ohaneze Ndigbo, Igbo politicians among others”.
