IPOB: Why Nnamdi Kanu dishonored agreement he had with Igbo leaders

The Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) has lashed out at Dr Nnia Nwodo, the president-general of the Ohaneze Ndigbo saying he was planning to be vice president in 2019. In a statement released on Wednesday, October 11, the now-proscribed group said it fell out with the Ohaneze Ndigbo leader and that he was bitter because he wasn’t allowed to be the leader of the eastern region. 

It said Kanu did not hnour his earlier agreement with the Igbo leaders over their selfish reasons and political greed. 

IPOB said: “It has become absolutely necessary to reply Chief Nnia Nwodo, on his Aso Villa sponsored umbrage on the great and noble IPOB and our humble leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Chief Nwodo’s F.G- backed tissue of lies which was designed to blackmail and paint us as violent, disrespectful and unintelligent bunch of ingrates is only an arm of the war declared on us by the Federal Government of Nigeria. 

“We begin by reminding Nwodo, that our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu represents the righteous anger of the much abused, much betrayed masses of Eastern region, who have watched helplessly for 47 years as their so called leaders traded away their collective future for peanuts.” 

The group said Nwodo was angry that they did not support his ambition to be leader of the Igbo people. 

It said: “Nwodo is piqued and pissed that we did not allow him to trade with the great IPOB and present himself as the overall leader of Eastern Nigeria, thereby packaging himself as the ultimate VP choice for 2019.
