Why we will not support Prof. George Obiozor led Ohanaeze-IPOB

The leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) said that it will not recognize Prof. George Obiozor as the President-General of the Apex Igbo Socio-Cultural group; Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

The group in a statement made available by its spokesman, Comrade Emma Powerful on Saturday stated that the pro-Biafra group led by Nnamdi Kanu cannot work with the Obiozor led Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

The reason IPOB will not be working with Prof. Obiozor’s led Ohanaeze was because according to them, Prof. Obiozor was foisted on powers that be in the country on the Igbo Nation.

The leadership of IPOB who made it clear that their primary concern was the restoration of the Sovereign State of Biafra said that though Obiozor as a person may not be entirely evil, they however claimed that those who ensured his emergence are unrepentant enemies of Biafra.

The pro-Biafra group also feared that Obiozor would naturally do the bidding of his sponsors, thus sacrificing Igbo Biafra interest at the altar of few persons that they labeled self-centered political desperados.

“We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wish to state without any ambiguity, that we cannot work together with the newly appointed President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief George Obiozor. 

“This is because he was imposed on the Igbo socio-cultural body by the Fulani cabal running the failed state of Nigeria. The Chief of Staff to the President, Alhaji Ibrahim Gambari and Miyetti Allah were instrumental to the emergence of Obiozor as Ohaneze National President according to our findings. 

“IPOB closely monitored the jamboree in the name of election that produced Obiozor as the new Ohanaeze helmsman, critically analyzed the antecedents of those behind his emergence and came to the conclusion that we cannot in all honesty work with him because we are not ideologically compatible.

“Obiozor may not be entirely evil but those behind him are unrepentant enemies of Biafra. Naturally, he can only do the bidding of his sponsors, thus sacrificing Igbo Biafra interest at the altar of few self-centered political desperados.

“We have not forgotten that before the shambolic election of Ohanaeze president, sometime last year, Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Associations of Nigeria (MACBAN) wrote a compelling letter to Aso Rock seeking Gambari’s support to install one of their stooges in Ohaneze Ndigbo as its leader. We raised the alarm then but nobody listened to us, so IPOB cannot work with a man we know will be remote-controlled by a Fulani terrorist group in the shape of Miyetti Allah and by extension the Federal Government of Nigeria.

“We also wish to clarify that we cannot work with the current bunch of Igbo Efulefus clamouring for a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction in 2023 because we know their real motives. Non of the traitors on parade have Igbo Biafra interest at heart. They are only after their personal gains going by their antecedents.

“The same bunch of reprobates that superintended the massacre of their own people through countless Operation Python Dance are now asking survivors of those massacres to support them. How utterly ridiculous these people are.

“If they can use their positions as governors to massacre their own people in order to please their caliphate handlers; as president of Nigeria, they would probably kill every Biafran agitator as Nyesom Wike tried to do in Obigbo. Supporting any of these murderers will mean the end of Biafra emancipation as we know it or worse.

“It’s still fresh on our minds what transpired at Jos PDP convention when the Late Dr Alex Ekwueme contested for the candidature of the President of Nigeria under PDP in 1999. Then the likes of Jim Nwobodo, Orji Uzor Kalu and virtually every other Igbo delegate at that convention voted against him.

“These Igbo men sabotaged Igbo presidency then, what has changed since 1999 that will make them come out now to shamefully clamour for the same Igbo presidency they publicly rejected in 1999?

“Similarly, when Mr. Peter Obi, in 2019 was contesting with Alhaji Abubarka Atiku as his running mate, Gov. Dave Umahi and his co-Igbo conspirators did not support or campaign for him despite being in the same political party – PDP. 

“We are surprised that these people shouting President of Igbo extraction today but sabotaged their own people yesterday think others will support them.

“Besides, if these myopic and self-centered fellows think producing the President of Nigeria will solve the problem of Ndigbo, when Goodluck Jonathan, an Ijaw man from South-South was Nigeria’s President for six years, what did he do for the East in general and Ijaw people in particular?

“The same Northern oligarchy that did not allow him to operate freely will still not allow any stooge they may eventually appoint from Igboland  to succeed. So, it makes no sense clamouring for what won’t proffer any solution to our problems.

“The few major roads built in South East and South-South were done by the former President Alhaji Shehu Shagari a Fulani man from Sokoto State yet none of these traitors masquerading as “Igbo Leaders today has been able to compel their slave masters to rehabilitate them. Most of these self-acclaimed Igbo and Old Eastern region leaders are caliphate bred traitors and we cannot trust them.

“They may deceive their fellow, it’s our turn to rule brigade, but not those of us who are discerning enough to understand their childish pranks.

“Our concern is Biafra and nothing more. Any saboteur talking about Nigeria President of Igbo extraction is on his own,” the group posited.
