THE spiritual leader of the Movement for the
Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and International
Coordinator of Biafran Christian Movement (ICBCM), Ndubuisi Igwekani,
has said that more calamities would befall Nigeria if the Federal
Government continues to detain the leader of the Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB), Mr. Nnamdi Kanu.
He warned that if anything untoward happens to the IPOB leader,
Nigeria would be on flame, adding that the African continent would not
contain whatwould happen if he dies in prison.
Igwekani stated this after an emergency meeting of Biafran Christian
Movement yesterday, calling on the international community to prevail
on President Muhammadu Buhari to release Kanu to go for medical
treatment. “Federal government has no power to continue to detain
Nnamdi Kanu after a court of competent jurisdiction had granted him
bail. We want to call on President Buhari to release Nnamdi Kanu with
immediate effect because we are running out of patience. They should
release Kanu to go for medical treatment and if anything happens to Kanu
Nigeria will be on flames and we will not take it lightly with the
leaders of this country,” he threatened.
He dismissed Ohaneze Ndigbo as a knocked engine and called for a new
platform to represent the voice of the Igbo nation. His words: “Ohaneze
Ndigbo which is the motor that carries the entire Igbo nations
presently has knocked engine by delving into politics. We are calling
on the Igbo nation to come up with another platform that will chart the
cause of Igbo socio-cultural affairs because the present Ohaneze is as
good as dead and will soon be buried.”
“The leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo is not speaking the minds of Igbo
nation. Look at what happened last week during their Exco meeting in
Enugu when they were allegedly attacked as they were allegedly sharing
money probably given to them by politicians.”
“We know that Igbo are suffering in this country and we need leaders
who are not politicians who will speak on behalf of Ndigbo in this
country which the Ohaneze Ndigbo has failed to do. We need people that
can speak on the social cultural interest and not politicians.”
He lamented further: “The roads in Southeast zone are nothing to
write home about. They are death traps and Ohaneze is not saying
anything about it, they are after their pockets. We describe the
gathering of Owerri as gathering of politicians who are looking for
contracts and we will never associate ourselves with such Ohanaeze
leaders.”
He also urged the people of the old eastern region who are now in the
South-South not to be deceived by the enemies in the land that they are
not part of Biafra, calling on them “to remain steadfast and come
together to chart a new course for Biafra state where they belong.”
