IPOB Political Wing, IPW, has stated that its aim is to back members to aspire to be political offices in the country, saying that such is the aim of creating a political wing in the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, a separatist agitation group.
IPW says that it is making the clarification in response to a statement credited to Chika Edoziem, spokesman for the IPOB’s Directorate of State, DOS, which denounced and disclaimed IPW.
There has been a cross fire of verbal attacks between IPW and its parent body, the IPOB.
IPW claims to be a political Wing from the parent body seeking to be part of Nigeria’s political process.
In IPW’s statement issued by Emereonye Nwachukwu the spokesman of the group, it noted that IPOB’s tactics for achieving a state of Biafra is obsolete.
He made references to the civil war and the advent of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, which never saw fruition.
Emereonye noted that it is unnecessary to stay and rant all year when getting involved in politics can bring the much touted freedom to the Igbo people in Nigeria.
“Nnamdi Kanu agrees with IPOB Political Wing and has called for negotiation with the federal government on this.
“He has successfully entered into a couple of political concessions, he knows there is no other way.
” He agreed to need for election to take place and more.
“However, since Nnamdi Kanu was arrested and detained, none of this people have visited him.
“You all are all in hiding like fearful rats in a hole.
Only the politicians you attack were able to meet him, despite Nigerian politicians being evil an unpatriotic,” Emereonye said.
