On August 15, IPOB (The Indigenous People of Biafra) immediately responded to Owelle Rochas Okorocha, the Imo State governor, statement, in which he informed that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the organization, always deceived Igbo people. In its turn, IPOB declared that it was never possible to mislead millions of Biafrans.
Chinasa Nworu from the Directorate of State gave the official comment from the republic of Biafra. In particular, he told Okorocha again that the fight for the re-establishment of Biafra was a holy mission. He also added that all IPOB members would never allow themselves being distracted.
“IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu are neither criminals nor fraudsters, who get prosperity through deceitful means and illegitimate businesses previous to gaining power. The Imo State governor must finally realize that we have been fighting for Biafrans freedom. First of all, it is our human right to struggle for independence and self-determination. We keep on fighting to survive since so called leaders put our people to death, slavery, economic loss,” declared Chinasa Nworu.
Additionally, he informed Owelle Rochas Okorocha that IPOB and Kanu were not ready to start any conversation with those murderers who slaughtered more than 3.6 millions of Biafrans, keeping on killings. Chinasa Nworu added that the Republic of Biafra would never officially speak to those who think that a referendum must immediately mean. He noted that no relationship would be built with people who believe that we were infidels and not humans.
Additionally, on August 15, Alhaji Inuwa Idris, President of the Arewa Youth Alliance, in a statement Tuesday in Abuja told that governor Okorocha already made so much effort to interfere with the Biafra re-establishment for many years.
“This “honorable man” always fails in the war against IPOB. In 2015, he was the person who played the key role in the capture Nnamdi Kanu. Moreover, he told in public that our leader must die in prison for his attempts to separate Nigeria. He used millions of our tax payers’ cash to pay newspapers for blackmailing IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu. Owelle Rochas Okorocha always keeps on repeating that Biafrans are utterly reckless and inadequate people. And now he dares call us deceivers,” resumed Idris.
