The disunited voice among the BIAFRA secessionists has once again brought to fore as the founder of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, Ralph Uwazuruike, a factional Igbo secession group has accused Nnamdi Kanu of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB of a secret pact with President Muhammadu Buhari led Federal Government.
The pact, Nwazuruike said was to truncate the sovereignty and actualization of Biafra nation.
He further revealed in an interview with The Interview Magazine that Nnamdi Kanu, has been compromised, adding that the Federal Government has bought mansions for him in London.
The MASSOB founder said Kanu had been secretly recruited by the Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to destroy the Biafran movement from within.
He said, “Apparently they saw Nnamdi Kanu as someone of high value for use. They heard him shouting on radio and approached him and he accepted. Naturally, only a strong, principled man can say no because they will give you irresistible offers.
“I know the mansions Nnamdi Kanu and people like him have abroad, given to them by the same government, – the same security agencies. Don’t worry, the truth will emerge soon.”
Uwazuruike said Kanu’s insistence “on the boycott of the Anambra State governorship election in November is a ploy to ensure that the All Progressives Congress takes over in the state.”
He added, “All things playing out today, including the so-called ‘no election’ in Anambra State is nothing but a smokescreen. The ‘no election’ is aimed at favouring the APC to edge out Governor (Willie) Obiano; that’s the only thing.”
Uwazuruike said the IPOB leader was a mere rabble-rouser as he had no clue about how to attain Biafra.
He said for instance, Kanu lacked an understanding of the process of a referendum.
The MASSOB leader said, “Let him tell you his own agenda. What does he know about Biafra? Somebody who doesn’t know the difference between an election and a referendum; that there is no difference between election and referendum.
“He says ‘give me Biafra or give me a date for referendum.’ So, what is the difference between the two? All the materials you use in a referendum are the same you use in an election. The only difference is that in an election, you may have many political parties while in a referendum, you vote yes or no.”
Uwazuruike slammed Kanu for using hate speech to promote his message.
He said Igbo people were known as a decent and respectful people but Kanu’s tactics was changing the mindset of the people.
He said it was such hateful rhetoric that caused the Arewa youths to issue a quit notice on Igbo living in the North.
The MASSOB founder said innocent Igbo living in the North might lose their lives because of Kanu’s misinformed utterances.
Uwazuruike said even though he was detained for over two years by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, he never insulted the ex-President because he respected the office of the President.
He said the best way to attain freedom was to use a decent and non-violent approach like Martin Luther King (Jnr.) and Mahatma Gandhi.
The MASSOB founder added, “Ndigbo must make sure they bring up their children well. Nnamdi Kanu is a bad example of what an Igbo child should be. He insulted the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
“Even if there is Biafra and you are the President, what type of Biafra are you leading? If the Biafra we are talking about cannot be better than Nigeria, we better stay in Nigeria.”
