A self-acclaimed disciple of Nnamdi Kanu, detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Simon Ekpa, has made a very serious remark about Peter Obi, Labour Party’s presidential candidate and former Anambra governor.
In a tweet on Thursday, July 13, Ekpa claimed that Obi is a spokesman for IPOB.
He tweeted: “Help me ask this ijiot who is IPOB? Obi is now IPOB spokesperson.”
Ekpa made the claim in reaction to Obi’s recent position decrying the sit-at-home order and describing it as the handiwork of criminals.
Obi was quoted to have said that IPOB has “publicly denied issuing such directive.”
The ex-governor, in his statement, had said further:
“What is going on in the South East therefore is essentially a criminal activity that must be nipped in the bud, with all hands being on deck, security agencies, and the people alike.
“The South East Governors are to be commended for their renewed efforts at curbing this menace but there is a need to be more strategic and intelligence-driven in our approach to reducing the suffering of innocent people.
“Security agencies should take necessary and quick steps to arrest the ugly incidents because the country cannot just be spilling the blood of innocent citizens.
“We as a people through our various governments should up our value for human lives in the way and manner we respond to issues that touch lives.”
