The delusional quest of a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction in the coming February 25th, 2023 general election has got its many victims and still counting. Unfortunately, the freedom of the Afarukwu Ibeku crown Prince who also doubles as the leader of the ravenous Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been sacrificed on the altar of the ambition of Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party Presidential candidate.
An insider source within the pro-Biafra group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has revealed that the Labour Party Presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, is secretly behind the continuous illegal detention of Onye ndu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. The source hinted that the fear of Mr. Peter Obi and the Western world is not unconnected with Mr Peter Obi’s perceived likely negative effect the release of the Biafran leader could have on his chances in the Southeast, where he hopes to amass votes.
The desire of the people of the former breakaway region of Biafra, the Igbos to produce Nigerian President amidst the unwritten post civil war policies designed to keep the Igbos in check and to deny them a shot at the highest position in the land since after the fratricidal civil war that ended on 15th January, 1970 has continued to agitate the people of the region.
“The Labour Party Presidential candidate is the real reason the Department of State Service and the office of the Attorney General of the Federation have refused to set free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as ordered by the Court of Appeal since last August and Mr. Peter Obi’s imprimatur in the whole saga is becoming evident,” the source said.
Mr. Obi, an Igbo apologist, who had on Sunday, 18th June 2006, imposed a dusk-to-dawn curfew on the commercial hub of the South East zone, Onitsha, as part of measures to contain activities of suspected members of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and ordered shoot-at-sight which left hundreds of the members of the non-violent Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) killed with their bodies said to have been dumped at the Onitsha Army barracks and the notorious Awkuzu SARS, the very reason for which Mr. Peter Obi fail out of favour with Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu.
The fear of a possible election boycott if Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is released and the consequences of its attendant massive compliance in the Southeast region as latter events have proved, has remained a worrisome possibility to Mr. Peter Obi as the Southeast remains the strongest base where the Labour Party Presidential candidate hopes to get bulk vote, hence his obsession to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s release.
The recent revelation which the source said was confirmed through intelligence gathering and their moles within the Secret Service has left a bitter test as the overall ambition of Mr. Peter Obi points to his avarice and strong disdain for Biafra and the clamour for its actualisation as championed by Onye ndu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
The people are aghast that Mr. Peter Obi has neither made statement calling for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as ordered by the Court of Appeal four months ago or visited Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in solidarity with his course. An act they described as typical of a traitor and of an Oboteman.
