Igbos rallying behind Peter Obi are not IPOB members, our goal is the disintegration of Nigeria -IPOB
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has rejected the candidacy of Peter Obi, Labour Party’s Presidential Candidate. The group has expressed that Igbos rallying behind the former Anambra State Governor are not IPOB members.
This was according to a statement by the Spokesman, Emma Powerful, who stated that the goal of the group is the disintegration of Nigeria and has nothing to do with the country’s politics.
He said: “The Igbo people rallying behind Peter Obi are not IPOB members because IPOB’s goal is the disintegration of the Nigerian enterprise irrespective of whether Peter Obi or anyone else from the Biafran geographic space is contesting in the Nigerian farce of an election.
“IPOB is a freedom fighting movement and has nothing whatsoever to do with or in Nigerian politics. So long as we in IPOB are concerned, Nigeria is irredeemable.”
IPOB also reiterated its call for the release of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, and a referendum in the Southeast.
