www.odogwublog.com reports that the
Indigenous Peoples of Biafra ( IPOB), has lambasted Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu
of Abia State over his remarks on its Leader, Nnamdi Kanu in a recent
interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation Igbo Service.
Ikpeazu had in the said interview, allegedly described Kanu as a liar and a truce breaker.
But
IPOB in a statement yesterday by its Media and Publicity Secretary,
Emma Powerful, said its leader whose whereabouts has remained a subject
of controversy since after the military invasion of his home on
September 14, 2017, had never met with Ikpeazu, wondering how the
Governor arrived at his conclusion about Kanu.
IPOB
said Igbo leaders in their desperation to please their "Norther masters
can go at any length to betray their own brothers".
The
pro- Biafra group said Ikpeazu did not even attend the meeting South
East Governors held with Kanu, and expressed shock that the Governor
could claim that Kanu reneged in his agreements with the Governors.
"Okezie
Ikpeazu failed to understand that the highly respected and foremost
constitutional lawyer Prof. Ben Nwabueze was at the meeting between
Nnamdi Kanu and Igbo governors which he Okezie Ikpeazu did not attend.
"We
are placing the world on notice that Okezie Ikpeazu has never met with
our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu despite the fact that Umuahia government
house sits on his ancestral land and his father the traditional ruler.
"He
must tell the world, where, when and with whom he met Nnamdi Kanu. We
will not allow him to get away with this bare-faced deceit and lies",
IPOB said in a statement yesterday by its Media and Publicity Secretary,
Emma Powerful.
IPOB
also accused Ikpeazu of complicity in the military invasion of its
leader's house last year, saying that the Governor should be ready to
explain his role in the raid.
"Okezie
Ikpeazu should keep his testimony and evidence with him because he will
soon be called upon to give account of his role in the military
invasion and abduction of Nnamdi Kanu and his parents from their home. The day of reckoning is fast approaching.
"These
peddling of lies and distortion of facts against Kanu is a well
orchestrated plan conceived prior to Operation Python Dance 2 which
they the governors initiated with Nnia Nwodo."
