The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s hatred for Igbo people was why he refused to grant the dying wish of late Mbazulike Amaechi.
Amaechi who was the First Republic Aviation Minister was at the forefront of the call for the release of IPOB’s leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
On several occasions, Amaechi had urged Buhari to release IPOB’s leader, Nnamdi Kanu but to no avail despite court ruling, discharged and acquitted him.
However, IPOB said Amaechi was unhappy with Buhari for ignoring his appeal to release Kanu.
This was contained in a statement which was released by IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful.
The statement reads partly: “IPOB worldwide will not forget the effort of our father towards the release of our great liberator, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who was kidnapped from Kenya to Nigeria by the Federal Government.
“In spite of his age and failing health, he led Igbo elder’s visit to Aso Rock, Abuja, to plead with the Federal Government headed by Buhari to release KANU as his last wish. But the President claimed that only the judiciary would decide MNK’s fate.
“Even after the same Court has discharged and acquitted Kanu, the same Buhari ignored the request of a dying old man and the Court verdict because of incurable hatred towards Ndigbo.
“Buhari and his Fulani-controlled Federal Government must understand that Mbazulike is not happy with them even in death for ignoring his appeal for the release of Kanu.”
