2019 presidency: IPOB takes position on Atiku’s endorsement reveals when Kanu will address Igbo
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has reacted to the reported endorsement of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar by some Igbo leaders.
The pro-Biafran group disagreed with the leaders, noting that there was no concrete, written and sealed agreement of what Atiku will do for Ndigbo.
This was contained in a statement by the Media and Publicity Secretary, of IPOB, Emma Powerful.
The group described as “premature, the endorsement of Atiku Abubakar by a few Igbo men that gathered in Enugu on Wednesday,” adding that “for 40 years, similar endorsements had been going on without anything to show for them.”
IPOB added, “This practice of endorsement of presidential candidates without any concrete binding agreement has been going on for 40 years with absolutely nothing to show for it. Politics has come to an end for IPOB members though.
“Those that once screamed, ‘no restructuring, no election’ to endear themselves to IPOB now seem to have been bought over with cash and promise of political appointments for their children.
“Such inconsistencies, lack of morally upright stance on critical issues pertaining to on our survival as a race, have over the years, led to the enslavement of our people for the enrichment of a few men and their families.”
The the statement added that its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will on Saturday, November 17, 2018 continue his expository world broadcast on Radio Biafra and will among other issues, discuss the endorsement.
