THE Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has declared that most Igbos vying for the presidency are stooges that would be used against the interest of Ndigbo, Biafrans and the Biafra-agitating groups.
IPOB also alleged that the people at the fore front of the agitation were people who openly worked against late Dr Alex Ekwueme, at Jos PDP convention for the candidature of the President of Nigeria under PDP in 1999, the brightest chance Ndigbo had for the position.
IPOB, in a statement, by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, alleged that what such people did to Late Dr Ekwueme was similarly, done by the likes to Mr Peter Obi, in 2019, when he contested with Atiku Abubakar as running mate, alleging that they conspired and did not support or campaign for Mr Obi despite being in the same political party – PDP, with him.
