Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has come under severe criticism over a comment he made against IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has attacked the Governor of
Imo State Rochas Okoracha describing him as a liar. The group described
as false, a statement credited to the Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo
State that Nnamdi Kanu, at a stage in his struggle, insulted Igbo
leaders.
The group said what was perceived as insult by some people about
Kanu was that he was telling them “the bitter truth, they did not want
to hear”.
In a statement made available in Awka, the Anambra State capital,
by the IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, the group
said the reason people like the IMO State governor were propagating
lies against Kanu was because IPOB had said that the All Progressives
Congress under President Muhammadu Buhari had a mission to Islamise
Nigeria.
Their press statement read in part “It is well known to
everyone in Nigeria, both the government, that they don’t like to hear
simple truth and other things that is eating deep into the contraption
called Nigeria.
“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu propagates the truth to the whole world which
people with good conscience around the globe understood and nicknamed
him the prophet of our time because almost his teachings and prophecies
on Radio Biafra have come to pass.
“He prophesied that the APC party led by Major General
Muhammadu Buhari was coming to Islamise the country through their
brothers in the guise of cattle rearers/herdsmen and that they would be
getting support from their people in the Nigerian security agencies
especially the soldiers who will protect them.
“Today, the islamisation agenda is ongoing in the country
without any hindrance. Since the killing in Agatu Benue State, Uzouwani
Enugu State, Southern Kaduna and the killing of unarmed peaceful members
of IPOB, there was no official pronouncement against the killings from
Nigeria government and APC.
“These murderous agents in the guise of cattle rearers in every
part of the country killing people, raping women and girls and
destroying farmland everyday without any arrest proves Mazi Nnamdi kanu
rights and also proves that they are being supported by the government
in power.
“That was what IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu preached against not what some politicians understood”.
“Kanu also said that you may think they are coming to in prove
the economy, but they are coming to position their people in all the
security agencies for total Islamisation of the country”.
The group described as unfortunate that politicians, like
Okorocha, could not see beyond their eyeglasses the hidden agenda “in
the contraption called Nigeria”.
The group maintained that the best thing that could happen to
Nigeria now was to allow those desirous to have their own sovereignties
to go their ways.
