IPOB Leader Nnamdi Kanu storms Ebube Muonso's Umudioka Parish with over 200,000 IPOB members
www.odogwublog.com reports that the
leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Mazi Nnamdi Kanu,
yesterday, led over 200,000 members to the Parish Priest of Blessed
Iwene Tansi, Umudioka, Dunukofia local government area of Anambra state,
Rev Fr Emmanuel Obimma a.k.a Ebube Muonso for a thank you visit for
upholding the truth always and for prayers.
Rev
Fr Obimma who is also the founder and Spiritual Director of Holy Ghost
Adoration Ministry Uke, Idemmili North local government council of
Anambra State, received Nnamdi Kanu and his members appealing to them to
ensure no breech of peace in whatever they do.
Father
Obimma, popularly called Ebube Muonso prayed for the pro-Biafran
agitators after a 30 minutes closed door meeting with their leader,
Kanu. He said he reached a consensus with Kanu on the way forward but
did not disclose that. The visit came shortly after shutting Ekwulobia
on Sunday for IPOB rally which according to Emma Powerful was to make a
statement that IPOB is serious for an independent Nation called Biafra.
Father
Ebube Muonso, after the closed door meeting with Kanu described Kanu as
a courageous leader but warned him to have a rethink on the threat to
boycott November 18 Anambra governorship election, adding that any
country or state without a leader is like ship in a river sailing
without bearing.
His
words: “For me, it will be more problematic to say that there won’t be
any election in Anambra state. It’s like somebody firing gun on his
toes. Kanu is a human being and activist to the best of my knowledge.
He
requested to see me and amidst all odds, I granted the opportunity and
we had some deliberations geared towards the good of Anambra State and
Nigeria in general because I am a priest of God. Christ, when he died,
reconciled both the Jews and the Gentiles.
“Christ
came into the world and reincarnated the message of peace and that was
why I advised Kanu to uphold peace following the tensions everywhere in
the country. Let love lead all that we do. I advised him to do anything
within his power to forestall peace, even in their agitation, let there
be prudence.
The fiery
preacher, who threw his weight behind restructuring Nigeria, lamented
that people of the south East and other zones are being marginalized
from the scheme of things and called on Igbo stakeholders to sit up and
speak against the injustice.
“In
our country Nigeria, it is certain that there is marginalization,
nepotism and tribalism. We are one Nigeria but some people are being
marginalized and that is the essence of all these agitations but in
everything, let there be prudence and let also pray for divine
intervention because the heart of every king is in the hand of God.
“Igbos
are clamoring for Biafra but an average Igbo man is selfish in nature
and the question is, how matured are we to handle our affairs. Where are
the Igbo cabals and stakeholders; like Nnia Nwodo, Peter Obi, Emeka
Anyaoku, Ifeanyi Ubah, Soludo, Iwuanwaywu, Ibeto and many others. There
has to be a unifying umbrella where they will gather and register their
protest” he said.
Ebube
Muonso thanked God for President Muhammadu Buhari’s safe return and
quick recovery, calling on him to look into agitations bedeviling the
nation and mindless killings.
“We
thank God for Buhari’s return and the entire ministry has been praying
for him for safe return. Nobody will wish a fellow human being death but
the president should know that Nigerians love him”.
Kanu
although did not speak after the meeting, he was in Umudioka to thank
Rev Fr Emmanuel Obimma, for prayer and appreciation for lending voice to
the voiceless in the South East.
