The only thing I disagree with is naming IPOB terrorists – Obi

Presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi has dismissed claims that the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, is a terrorist organization.

The Nigerian government had proscribed IPOB following the agitation for the actualization of Biafra.

The group denied the terrorist tag by the Nigerian government and has continued to push for the actualization of Biafra.

Speaking with Channels Television, the presidential candidate said IPOB members around him do not constitute a threat to the country.

According to Obi: “The only thing I disagree with is naming IPOB terrorist; they are not terrorists. Those who took the decision may have information that I don’t have.

“I stay in Onitsha, and I can tell you that they are people I pass them on the road every day.

“I meet and live with them; in fact, I usually see people gathering, and I have never had the sense of threat or molestation from them, even when they gather.”
