The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has
rejected the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and Igbo
presidency.
IPOB said it’s neither interested in an
Igbo President nor a Nigerian President of Southeast extraction.
The group said its members are not part of
Obi’s supporters because they are interested in Nigeria’s disintegration.
The spokesman of the separatist group, Emma
Powerful, in a statement he signed and made available to newsmen, said Nigeria
was irredeemable.
In a statement he signed, Powerful said:
“The Igbo people rallying behind Peter Obi are not IPOB members because IPOB’s
goal is the disintegration of the Nigerian enterprise irrespective of whether
Peter Obi or anyone else from the Biafran geographic space is contesting in the
Nigerian farce of an election.
“IPOB is a freedom fighting movement and
has nothing whatsoever to do with or in Nigerian politics. So long as we in
IPOB are concerned, Nigeria is irredeemable.”
IPOB also reiterated its call for the
release of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, and a referendum in the Southeast.
