Nnamdi Kanu - Enemy of Igbo

The Biafran Reformation Movement (BRM) has put a clog in the reported progress of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu.

The BRM, on Monday July 24, while Kanu was relishing some support in Ebonyi state, said the IPOB leader was carrying out actions dangerous to the interest of the Igbo people.

While speaking with journalists in Enugu, the leader of the group, Mr Ndubuisi Igwekani, said Kanu’s call for the boycott of Anambra election was ill-mannered.

He said Kanu was behaving like an enemy to the Igbo people adding that the forthcoming election in Anambra state must hold.

According to him, if the election is scuttled, it could lead to a state of emergency being imposed on the state.

He said: “Anybody that says there won’t be election is making mistake. There must be election in Anambra state.

“If we stop the election, our enemy will impose state of emergency here and thereby bring another enemy to rule us.

“So, it is not in Igbo interest for anybody to say that there won’t be election. Kanu and those proposing this are making us to see them as enemies of Ndigbo. If a northerner should be imposed on Anambra people, it will take us 20 years back.”

He however warned that nothing must happen to Igbo people in the north.

“If anything happens to any of our people in the north, we shall hold Shettima responsible. No matter where he goes to hide, we shall get him.

“We are, therefore, calling on the Federal Government and the International community not to take it as empty threat.

“Efforts should be made to protect our people because if anything happens on the contrary, we don’t guarantee what will be the retaliatory effect here,” he said.
