#EndSARS: ‘You should be ashamed of yourself if you’re amongst those condemning my interventions in the protest’- Nnamdi Kanu
Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has come out to blast people who have been criticizing his social media actions since the #EndSars protests began.
Igbo group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo on Wednesday October 21, disavowed statements credited to Kanu urging Igbos to attack Abia state governor, Okezie Ikpeazu.
In the statement, youths of Ohafia in Abia state were told to “capture” Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, to face trial for the alleged ”role he played in the killing of #ENDSARS protesters in the state.”
The statement read partly, “Okezie Ikpeazu is in Asaga village Ohafia. He is hiding in the house of his Chief of Staff, one Ukpai Agwu Ukpai.
“Our youths in Ohafia are hereby instructed to capture him alive to face trial for the numerous murders he committed including the death of protesters yesterday (Tuesday) in Aba. On no account must he be allowed to leave Ohafia alive. Its an order. “
The statement he also urged the #EndSARS protesters not to give up, adding “the oppressors will try every option including shooting to quell the protest, but nobody should be deterred.
“We call on every youth, man and woman to join the protests now. This is the time everybody should identify with this movement to rescue our collective future and destiny from suffocation.”
Kanu also took to his Twitter handle on Wednesday to ask Southern Nigerians not to tolerate a ”Northern muslim using army to kill unarmed southerns protesers in Lagos.” He wrote;
“It’s shocking that Southern Nigerians are tolerating a Northern Muslim @NGRPresident using the Army to KILL unarmed Southern #EndSARS protesters in Lagos, a Southern soil?”
Would a Southern Christian President ever contemplate killing unarmed Northern Muslim protesters in KANO?”
After receiving criticism for his perceived role in fueling the reprisal attacks as a result of the shootings and killings of #EndSars protesters, Kanu has now blasted his critics, telling them they should be ashamed of themselves.
“You should be ASHAMED of yourself if you’re amongst those CONDEMNING my interventions in the #EndSARS protest, especially that my interventions will endanger #Ndigbo.” Kanu wrote on his Twitter page on Thursday afternoon, October 22.
“You’re WRONG! Ndigbo & #IPOB (like EVERYONE else) have a RIGHT to participate in these protests. Get used to it!”
That is very bad…. All whathe wants is just for 9ja to split which is not going to happen…..
This is bad o…but hope the outcome of this leads to the betterment of the country and it’s citizens
The deed has been done and you shouldn’t have asked for represal attacked because pay evil with evil won’t allow the evil to end. Enough for the Wise.
please don’t caused more problems to us that what we have at hand if you have problems with okezie deal with it your self.
Alright the igbo method demand.
It pain to still the government alive till this moment
None of them should be spare simple
How many of your family were present in the fore front of the protest, you should have come back from where you are and join the protest, if you do nobody will condemn you for the statement you ulter.
I wish they face the same problem that the youths are face now period
True.
Because you always speak the truth ,you shouldn’t be worried about there hate speech.
Tell them the truth if they will calm down to hear
I wonder while they are talking nonsense
But why should they be against you for supporting the protesters or do they want you to be quit and pretend
as if nothing is happening. No nah its not done because thats the sign of a good leader.
You are one of our Nigeria heroes, because all what you have been saying so far about our useless President muhammadu buhari is absolutely true, but a few of Nigeria knows that, many did not know.
Pleas don’t cause more havoc.
