Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has described as the height of deceit, the statement made by former vice president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, that if he becomes the president in 2019, he will restructure the country in such a way IPOB would jettison the idea of Biafra

Speaking with Daily Sun in Umuahia, the younger brother of the leader of the pro Biafra group, Nnamdi Kanu, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, said the former vice president should do away with his restructuring. Emmanuel said what the people of the area need is nothing but Biafra.

“To start with, I don’t exactly know what Atiku means by restructuring. He needs to explain to us what restructuring is all about and the kind of restructuring he is talking about.

“IPOB is a secessionist group and we believe in Biafra and total freedom of our people. What does he mean by restructuring, is it along state or regional line? He should do away with his restructuring.

“Atiku was there when the Nigerian army invaded Nnamdi Kanu’s house and he never said anything, so, why should we, as Biafrans, believe him? We cannot believe him.

“Again, he came to Umuahia without making any attempt to visit the same place soldiers invaded, to see things for himself; so, why should we believe him in the first place.”


Kanu junior was furious the more that where Atiku made the statement was about 200 metres from Kanu’s house, yet, he never made any attempt to visit the place. He insisted the Igbo will not believe such a person.

“The Igbo are not swayed by such statement; he only came to seek our votes and after that, no more.

“Before he came to Abia or Igbo land, he should have been able to understand the meaning of Biafra. For us, Biafra means freedom for us to be free.

“It is completely different from restructuring of the country. We want to be free people, so, what Atiku is saying doesn’t make sense to us; until he does the needful, nobody will take him seriously.

“What we want is Biafra and it’s as simple as ABC. What Atiku said is a political gimmick, they have seen Easterners as people they can use whenever they can, to grab whatever they want, especially when they want our votes. What they do is to run their mouths, and after obtaining our votes, they will leave us where we were. So, Biafra is what can save us.”


He advised the Igbo not to accept such Atiku’s posturing, stressing that such overture is fraught with deceit and said nobody will deceive them again.

“Igbo have become wiser in all spheres of live, nobody can deceive us again, not even one million Atikus,” Kanu said.

Lol.

Is this Atiku a learner?do you think you can satisfy a people that have a long list of demands, that is the size of a typical Imo State bride price list?

Look for ways on making inroads into the South and West,and then divide the Northern votes.

If you like, go to the East a thousand times. Those ones have made up their mind against voting for any Northerner, so no need wasting your time.

Chai!
Atiku the present desperate presidential candidate, that have move in, out and in again from all political parties in Nigerian.
And even claimed indigene from Taraba state, whereas is from Jada LGA in Adamawa state just to contest for the office the president .
I think he once said that "everybody is a Biafran" ..
I won't be surprise if he join IPOB to unleash his unforseen goal..

I don't really know why Atiku is moving round the East for support and vote. Ipob has made it clear that we are after our referendum not Nigeria dirty politics

They have said it all!

we want to leave this #shithole

Nigeria democracy has gone to dogs!

A referendum must be allowed to take place for the people of Eastern Nigeria to decide their fate in this contraption. If the result turns out to be in favour of one Nigeria then so be it. Ipob will cease the agitation but if it turns out to be in favour of Biafra then we should be allowed to go our separate ways

Divorce is legal in marriage

Tall dream...they will soon come crying.

You mean he should pay homage to Nnamdi Kanu's house ?
Would that not also amount to political gimmick given how critical the time is to the elections? Whatever, ideal restructuring is the needed ingredient and we'll come out of the mess we've long found ourselves....

The day this rogue become a president that is the end of Nigeria.

Yes , divorce is very legal but are igbos ready to divorce without dragging others along?

I personally want this nation to divide.
Everyone should go their separate ways and nobody should try to coarse or add other un-interested parties into their struggle especially when the other has repeatedly reiterated his position on wanting to be distinct from the other.

Who and who are the others being dragged by the igbos? Referendum is the thing that will determine people's will.

One thing is certain, self determination is far better than any sort of restructuring

Referendum will not be done be done by Niger deltans because we have not asked for one.

To each his own!

IPOB is trying to drag the SS minorities and the Igala and Idoma people into Biafra, same people had earlier warned that they are never interested.

There is nothing like Hausa/fulani, we only have Fulani in Nigeria
