Newly formed pro Biafra group; Reformed Indigenous People of Biafra, RE-IPOB, has revealed why it sacked the detained director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, including its splinter group, the Rebranded Indigenous People of Biafra, TRIPOB. The new group claims Kanu and IPOB betrayed the Biafran struggle through collection of money from local and foreign sponsors.
Spokesman ,Ikemba Biafra ,in a statement, accused Kanu of insulting respected Biafran and Igbo leaders and converting the Radio Biafra to a private propaganda tool. The group also said he is using the platform to attract fortune and fame to himself.
“The emergence of TRIPOB is a fall out of the internal wrangling in the IPOB. Members and officers of IPOB loyal to one of the spokesmen of IPOB, Emma Nmezu, are behind TRIPOB. There is nothing actually different between IPOB and TRIPOB. This is why we wielded the big stick to sack them to save the Biafran struggle. We urge all pro-Biafra groups to remain calm and cease any contact with Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB or TRIPOB and await further information from RE-IPOB.”
The group warned that the Biafran movement is not a platform for political shenanigans stressing that attempt to use TRIPOB to influence the federal government by a certain politician, would fail.
