I will by no means support asari dokubo on this matter. Asari has been a very close ally of Nnamdi kanu and he fully understands him much more than many others. Asari will have contacted Nnamdi kanu before dropping that statement. I know how much respect leadership of IPOB bestowed on asari dokubo even IPOB deputy director. This is betrayal in clear term and asari must apologise to biafrans.

He is coming back with hell.

My brother that clone issue is the hand work of liar Mohammed to derail the main issue. Even Nnamdi kanu has released statement on that saying he never posited that buhari is cloned but an imposter from Sudan.

IPOB Members don't have respect for elders. How can they tell an elderly jubril to remove his cap in public? This is how to make an elderly jubril remove his cap," Oga JUBI JUBI oya remove your cap, I want to check something " shikinah!!!!

Afonjas are very good at rape.

There are no igbo in south south na

if that's your criteria for saying they are not Biafra am sorry but your foolish! Biafra will not leave any of its territory to Nigeria. Biafra of 1967 is still same today. No amount of Yoruba division can stop that.

Shut up! Niger delta is Biafra.

Russian National tv RT News have dismissed the Nigerian leader statement in poland, saying ,he is a "clone". The program can be viewed on RT news page.

Anytime the zombies want to lie, they use Igbo name. We are use to that antics but it doesn't change the fact that buhari is dead. Yahoo, RT Russia, Aljazeera, TRT turkey, CNN, BBC, France 24, DW, AFP, RAUTERS, VOA etc are signatory to this fact," that's exactly what a clone would say".

Nnamdi Kanu Will Shock The World With Evidence Of The Imposter Masquerading As Nigeria President--- IPOB

Press Release:
December 3, 2018

The worldwide family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wish to place on record that our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who through the mercy God and his personal love for truth brought the issue of the Aso Rock impostor to public knowledge last year, always maintained that Jubril is an impostor and never a clone. The attempt to misinform the world in Krakow Poland by the handlers of Jubril is a total failure. From what we have so far gathered and as a result of the courageous undertaking by our leader to put the truth out in the public domain concerning Jubril, the Nigerian government has come under immense pressure by the international community to come clean on the troubling issue of an unelected Sudanese foreign national ruling Nigeria.

Any moment from now and hopefully on or before the advertised birthday anniversary of Muhammadu Buhari on the 17th of December 2018, our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will send political shockwaves throughout the whole world on this issue of an impostor in Aso Rock. Events will begin to unfold in far more greater scientific detail from now on since the Aso Rock cabal have failed to speak truthfully about how Jubril was brought into Nigeria to assume the position of the president of a country of nearly 180 million people. There will be no escape for gangsters in Aso Rock.

It is an indictment of the education system in Nigeria that seemingly educated people including senators do not know the difference between the word impostor and clone. Ordinary masses are left even more confused and ignorant by the insistence of the cabal media machine to divert the discussions away from the issue of an impostor to the murky world of new scientific advancements in human genetics. This is a ploy that is bound to fail because we will not let them to keep on confusing the people.

An impostor is different from a clone. Jubril is an impostor not a clone. An impostor is a person who pretends to be someone else in order to deceive others, especially for fraudulent gain. Jubril Aminu Al-Sudani is an impostor from Sudan who is now pretending to be real late Nigeria president Mohammed Buhari who died on the 27/01/2017 and was buried in Saudi Arabia. A clone is an organism or cell, or group of organisms or cells, produced asexually from one ancestor or stock, to which they are genetically identical.

With these clarifications in mind, average Nigerians should understand better what our leader is saying. At the end of this process of revelation, other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria and the international community will be grateful to IPOB Intelligence and have renewed respect for the courage and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

'It's real me': Nigerian president denies being replaced by lookalike

Latest update : 03/12/2018

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday quashed a rumour stemming from his ill health that he had died and been replaced by a lookalike impostor from Sudan, his spokesman said.

"It's real me, I assure you. I will soon celebrate my 76th birthday and I will still go strong," Buhari said as he met with the Nigerian diaspora in Poland, where he is attending the UN COP24 climate summit in Katowice.

He was answering a question from the audience about repeated claims -- spread via tweets, Facebook posts and YouTube videos -- that the leader of Africa's most populous nation was an imposter called "Jubril".

"A lot of people hoped that I died during my ill health. Some even reached out to the Vice President to consider them to be his deputy because they assumed I was dead," Buhari said, according to a statement signed by his spokesman Garba Shehu.

He referred to those who started the rumour as "ignorant" and "irreligious".

Buhari, who is seeking re-election next year, spent a large part of 2017 in London for treatment for a serious illness, which has never been revealed to the public.

A lack of specific information about the illness, along with Buhari's gaunt features and a reduction in public appearances have fed speculation about his well-being.

Claims about the president's identity emerged a month after Buhari returned from another lengthy medical trip to London.

Those pushing the rumour were known critics of the president and his government.

Nigerian President Buhari denies death and body double rumours

3 December 2018



Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has denied rumours that he has died and been replaced by a lookalike.

Some people thought he had been "cloned", but "it's [the] real me, I assure you," Mr Buhari said.

Rumours that he had been replaced with a body double called "Jubril" from Sudan had been widely shared online.

The 75-year-old Mr Buhari, who is seeking re-election in February next year, has been beset by ill health since taking office in 2015.

He was on "medical leave" in the UK for three months in 2017.

He revealed after his return to Nigeria that "I have never been so sick", but did not disclose what he was suffering from. He insists he is now in good health.



According to an AFP Fact Check investigation the rumours began late last year and have appeared on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Posts promoting the rumours have been viewed more than 500,000 times.

A former aide to Mr Buhari's predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, is among the high profile individuals who have promoted the rumours.
'Ignorant and irreligious'

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of secessionist group Indigenous People of Biafra (Ipob), has also been fuelling the rumours, AFP found.

In one instance, Mr Kanu shared two images of Mr Buhari, one reversed, to allege that the Nigerian leader, who is right-handed, was using his left hand - "proving" that that meant he was a body double.

A scene from the 1997 film "Face/Off" has also been used by those promoting the rumours to show how a dead Buhari's face could have been transplanted to a body double.

Mr Buhari, who is in Poland attending a UN climate change conference, was asked about the rumours during a meeting on Sunday with Nigerians in the country.

His personal assistant shared a video of his answer:

Mr Buhari, who will celebrate his 76th birthday on 17 December, said those spreading the rumours about his health and identity were ''ignorant and irreligious.''

''A lot of people hoped that I died during my ill health. Some even reached out to the vice-president to consider them to be his deputy because they assumed I was dead.

"That embarrassed him a lot and of course, he visited me when I was in London convalescing… It's [the] real me; I assure you,'' Mr Buhari added.

A former vice-president, Atiku Abubakar, 72, has emerged as Mr Buhari's main challenger in next year's election.

The opposition is expected to make the president's health a major campaign issue, but Mr Buhari said: "I'm still going strong."
Denial could 'backfire'

By Ishaq Khalid, BBC News, Abuja

Many Nigerians are surprised that President Buhari chose to respond to the extraordinary claim that he has a body double called "Jubril".

The claim has been an online joke for months, generally dismissed as fake news, and largely ignored by many reputable media organisations.

It has, however, been used by Mr Buhari's detractors to call into question the state of his health.

Contrary to the expectations of the president's aides, his statement that he is "not a clone" may lead to greater focus on his health as he prepares for a gruelling election campaign. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-46424562

Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has broken his silence over rumours that he had died and was replaced by a Sudanese impostor, claims that had been circulating on social media for months.
