IPOB Denies Replacing Leader Nnamdi Kanu

IPOB Denies Replacing Leader Nnamdi Kanu

 

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said that it has not replaced the currently detained Nnamdi Kanu as its leader.

 

The Biafra group asked its followers to ignore the reports making the rounds that IPOB has replaced Kanu, describing it as “fabricated media propaganda”.

 

EDITOR’S PICK

 

These were made known in a statement by the group’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, on Tuesday.

 

According to Powerful, Mazi Chika Edoziem is the head of the IPOB Directorate of State and not IPOB Acting Leader.

 

“We, the global movement and family of IPOB under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, condemn the useless and fabricated media propaganda and blackmail from some media houses that IPOB has another or acting leader replacing our indefatigable liberator and prophet Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

 

“Those peddling this kind of lies are those criminals who zoo gutter media are publishing this to confuse the weak-minded people.

 

“We want everybody to bear in mind that Mazi Chika Edoziem is the head of IPOB Directorate of State and not IPOB Acting Leader,” the statement partly reads.

 

The statement also stated: “There was never a time that Emma Powerful, the Publicity Secretary of IPOB issued any statement purporting that our Leader had been replaced by Mazi Chika Edoziem as IPOB Acting Leader.

 

“The said statement was the handiwork of mischievous elements bent on causing confusion in IPOB.

 

“It is unfortunate that some mischievous elements twisted an unambiguous statement by IPOB where we clarified that in the meantime that our Leader is in detention, the Head of DOS, Mazi Edoziem, will be providing direction on the day-to-day activities of IPOB. We never said that Edoziem had become the Acting Leader of IPOB.

 

“For the avoidance of doubts, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains the leader of IPOB. The entire IPOB family all over the world is loyal to him. IPOB has no Acting Leader. Chika Edoziem is only the Head of DOS of IPOB not the Leader.

“We, therefore, urge our family members, supporters, friends, and members of the public to ignore the misleading and mischievous media report.”
