We don’t know Peter Obi, he cannot slow down our agitation – IPOB replies Gumi

Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has reacted to a recent statement by Islamic cleric, Sheikh Gumi that the agitations of the group were just mere gimmicks in a bid for Power. The cleric said this following the huge support that has trailed Peter Obi’s decision to be the Presidential flagbearer of Labour Party

IPOB in its reaction said Peter Obi as Presidential candidate does not affect the call for Biafra Nation

The group in a statement by it’s Spokesman, Emma Powerful said If Peter Obi knew the aims and objectives of the group, he wouldn’t have come out to contest or waste his wealth and vast knowledge in trying to become president

The statement reads partly: “The attention of the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra under the command of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been drawn to the unguarded statements from Sheikh Gumi, alleging that IPOB agitation has slowed down in the South Eastern region since Peter Obi picked up the tickets from Labour Party for presidential race in Nigeria.

“We understand that some unscrupulous elements in Nigeria, especially Fulani elements, were thinking that Peter Obi who is among those running the race to become Nigeria President would affect us or change our decisions to pursue the freedom of our dear Nation Biafra.

“We have said it before now that IPOB does not know Peter Obi and Peter Obi does not know IPOB. If Peter Obi knows IPOB and its aims and objectives, he wouldn’t have come out in the first place to contest or waste his wealth and vast knowledge, talent and wisdom which God Almighty gave and blessed Biafrans with in the Zoological Republic.

“We can never slow down agitation until Biafra comes.”

IPOB said Gumi and his likes would not understand how Biafra would be actualized.
