Ralph Uwazuruike, a former ally of Nnamdi Kanu, has stated why the leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) came out of his hiding place.

Mr Kanu, who heads IPOB, disappeared last year in the midst of clash involving his supporters and the Nigerian Army.

Before the clash, he said the then coming Anambra State governorship election was not going to hold in the state advising his followers not to participate.

Since then he has not been publicly seen campaigning for his request for an independent state of Biafra. A report on the internet said he was sighted in Ghana but his seperatist group debunked the report claiming the federal government knows the whereabout of its leader.



Last week, Kanu resurfaced in a video posted on the internet with claims that he was in Isreal, this the Israeli government has debunked saying the video might be an old one.

However, the IPOB leader who addressed his supporters on Sunday urged them to stay away from participating in the 2019 general election.

Uwazuruike, who now heads the Biafra Independent Movement (BIM) in reaction to the development said the IPOB leader is out to make money from the next year’s general election.

He stated this on Monday in Owerri, the Imo State capital while addressing reporters.

“Last time, he carried a campaign that there wouldn’t be election in Anambra state and what eventually happened in the end?” Uwazuruike queried.

“Today, he has started again. He is back again after several months, because election is just by the corner, so as to deceive the people and mop up money for himself as the IPOB leader and in the name of fighting for the realisation of Biafra independence.

“That he ran away after a while and reappeared during the electioneering period is deceitful.

“The issue of no election is a constitutional matter. Kanu does not have the powers to say that election can never take place in the south-east.

“The truth is that in the south-east, we have only five states and what a presidential candidate, for example, only needs to win his or her election is two-thirds majority vote.

“If the five states out of the 36 states, including the FCT, do not vote and 31 states vote, two-thirds majority would still be gotten. The president then has the powers to appoint anybody to be in charge of the other five states who do not vote. This is, therefore, politically detrimental to Ndigbo.

“These are things some Igbo people do not know. Kanu has started his campaign to cause more confusion for our people, which I call campaign of calumny and deceit. He is being used to destabilise Ndigbo towards gaining the independence of Biafra.”
