EKO HOT BLOG reports that Kanu disclosed this in a statement personally signed on Wednesday, saying the decision was aimed at strengthening internal coordination, administrative efficiency and overall organisational effectiveness.

According to him, the restructuring was carried out under the authority vested in him as the leader of IPOB.

“I hereby dissolve the 3rd Administration of the Directorate of State (DOS) and inaugurate the 4th Administration with immediate effect,” Kanu stated.

He explained that the new administration would immediately take over the coordination, management and daily operations of the movement.

As part of the changes, Kanu appointed United States based Mazi Chris Nwaọgụ as the new Head of the Directorate of State.

“Pursuant to the authority vested in me as Supreme Leader, I have appointed Mazi Chris Nwaọgụ, based in the United States of America, as the new Head of the Directorate of State,” he said.

Kanu said the decision followed a review of the outgoing leadership and the need to improve organisational performance.

He stated that the dissolved administration failed to meet expectations in key areas, including internal cohesion, communication and the welfare of detained members.

“Any administration entrusted with IPOB affairs must protect the movement, defend its integrity, and advance its strategic goals,” he said.

He added that “The abandonment of detained members and internal distractions weakened the effectiveness of the movement at a critical time.”

Kanu also announced the creation of an Elders Advisory Council to provide strategic guidance and support to the new leadership structure.

He directed all IPOB structures worldwide to recognise the new administration and cooperate fully with its leadership.

According to him, the changes are intended to reposition the organisation and refocus it on its objectives of self determination, justice and internal restructuring.
