Nnamdi Kanu’s Family Issues Warning To Those Linking Gov. Otti With IPOB

Family of Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has said that sponsors of the allegation that governor Alex Otti of Abia state is sponsoring IPOB to cause trouble in the state, are desperate people who are trying to score cheap political points by tarnishing the governor’s image.

Reacting to the allegation, a representative of the family, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, warned the accusers not to involve IPOB with the politics of the state, adding that “if Otti has won election, he has won election and there’s nothing anybody can do about it”.

Kanu stated that IPOB has never been interested in any election, and wondered why the separatist group would want to go after the governorship election petition tribunal judges ahead of the October 6, 2023 judgement as being alleged.

In his words;

“What they are doing is out of desperation. If they have problem of leadership in the state, they should go and sort it out, they should stop dragging IPOB into their hopelessness so to speak.

“Those who sponsored the press conference must have ulterior motive, their intention would have been to rubbish Otti, but if Otti has won election, he has won election and there’s nothing anybody can do about it, but they should not bring IPOB into this issue.

“For what reason will IPOB attack any judge for doing his work? They should stop using IPOB’s name to score cheap political goal.

“Those saying Otti was sponsoring IPOB to cause trouble in the state, Which IPOB? What prove do they have to that?

Over the years, IPOB has not been interested in their election, we don’t meddle into elections. Our target is referendum and the freeing of Kanu and stop the flouting of court orders, that’s all”.

Kanu’s family wondered why politicians show no interest on how to compel the Federal Government to comply with court order granting Kanu unconditional release, but always use his name to gain cheap popularity.

“Nnamdi Kanu is currently in detention on civil ground, not even on criminal ground, so, I was thinking the group would have been fair enough to speak about this matter that has dragged this country to the mud all the time and not to be talking about frivolities”.
