The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB says the recent statement credited to the Senator representing Imo West Senatorial District, Rochas Okorocha will lead him to destruction.
IPOB said that Okorocha’s statement shows he was speaking the minds of Abuja.
Okorocha had in a recent interview with BBC pidgin said that if Igbos will leave Nigeria, it’s people like him that will say it and not IPOB.
Okorocha also said that the Federal should dialogue with the group.
But Emma Powerful, the media and publicity secretary of the group warned Okorocha to stop playing politics with the activities of the group.
Powerful in a statement said: “We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our great prophet and indefatigable leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU wish to remind Rochas Okorocha that his recent ranting against IPOB will lead him to destruction. IPOB has never seen him as a threat to the liberation of Biafra as being championed by IPOB.
“Rochas Okorocha has tried so many times to be part and parcel of IPOB to decide the way forward in the movement but IPOB leadership refused to accept him. Rochas Okorocha and his likes will be there watching IPOB actualise Biafra freedom and independence from the oppressive Nigeria state.
“This recent ranting by Rochas Okorocha has shown that he is speaking the minds of his masters in Abuja who advised him to siphon Imo State funds with his family especially his son in-law, Uche Nwosu.
“Nigerians must be mindful of Rochas Okorocha, his family and co-travellers because they are behind the numerous attacks, killings, and abductions going on in Imo State. We know how many times they tried everything possible to create these groups killing innocent citizens in Imo state because of Hope Uzodinma’s political decisions to ensure that he collected all the properties he corruptly acquired using public funds.
“If Rochas Okorocha and his co-traitors in Biafra land want any recognition in Biafra, let them tell their Fulani masters to fix a date for Biafra referendum and see if they can get 1 percentage ‘no vote’ in the region. All Biafrans want independence from Nigeria. No amount of intimidation can stop this. The earlier Nigeria and her moles in Biafran understand this the better for them.
“The criminal activities of Rochas Okorocha in Imo State have exposed him to the world.
“The whole world must take note of Rochas Okorocha and Co. They have killed a lot of people in Imo State thinking he is fighting Hope Uzodinma and his own criminal gang. Both warlords have destroyed Imo State using their recruited hoodlums. Innocent Imo citizens are at the mercy of their atrocities.
“Rochas Okorocha must stop thinking that he can use IPOB for his devilish political move. He had better keep quiet instead of trying to use IPOB for political gains. We cannot allow him to use IPOB’s name to shine. He is digging his political grave by trying to use IPOB for political gains. We are not interested in Nigeria politics. Our mandate is the restoration of Biafra, and we cannot be distracted”.
