IPOB Founder, Emekesiri Accuses Nnamdi Kanu Of Building Cult Of Gangsters Not Speaking For Igbos
Barrister Emeka Emekesiri, the founder of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, has accused Nnamdi Kanu, the group’s breakaway leader, of creating a “cult of gangsters.”
Kanu, according to Emekesiri, took IPOB away from him and the group’s founders.
Kanu was also not speaking for the people of the Southeast, according to the constitutional lawyer.
He emphasized that his IPOB section was working to make Biafra a reality through submissions to the National Assembly and the courts.
Emekesiri argued that Kanu’s detention has no bearing on his IPOB faction’s pursuit of Biafra agitation.
“The original IPOB is still going on and nothing has happened to us, it’s just that those of you guys in the media, you promote the Nnamdi Kanu faction because he makes a lot of noise and you don’t want to promote the one that is before the Nigeria government.
“You can take a telephone now and call Aso Rock, call the Senate President and ask about us, they have our documents, they have our case and our papers are before the Nigeria authorities.
“So we are moving forward and nothing has stopped us from moving forward.
“So Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest concerns his own faction, his cult, he built a cult of gangsters and so he is not speaking for us. Let it be known that Nnamdi Kanu does not speak for the Igbo nation,” he said.
