The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has reacted to reports over the alleged removal of Nnamdi Kanu as the group’s leader.
NewsBreak reports that on Thursday morning, reports emerged that Nnamdi Kanu had been stripped of his post as IPOB leader with Sofia Chinyere Kalu, the IPOB United Kingdom (UK) National Financial Secretary.
Reacting to the report, IPOB’s spokesperson, Powerful, described those behind the claim as gossip mongers with no knowledge of IPOB’s hierarchy.
Powerful said: “They replaced him with who, don’t mind these gossipers who don’t know what is happening in IPOB hierarchy. IPOB is a decent and disciplined movement, and they will never in their life know how operational strategy works.
“There is no other leader we have except Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and no other person fits that position. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu remains our leader in IPOB no matter any condition, anybody who claimed to be the new leader of IPOB should come out openly and do the work of a leader in IPOB; we are waiting for them.”
Meanwhile, the embattled Nnamdi Kanu is currently in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) on the treasonable felony charges preferred against him by the federal government of Nigeria.
