The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has drawn attention to the report making rounds that the Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma is sharing smart phones to Imo Youths, saying the aim is to disparage the group.
This was contained in a press release signed by the Media and Publicity Secretary for IPOB, Comrade Emma Powerful.
The statement reads:
“…sharing of smartphones by… Hope Uzodinma to the gullible minds and youths he is recruiting to attack IPOB members on social media platforms.
“These attack dogs and e-rats are paid to propagate lies and smear campaigns against IPOB, Eastern Security Network, ESN, and Biafra agitators.
“We blame those he is deceiving with smartphones, material things and cash to oppose those fighting for their freedom.
“If Hope Uzodinma have correct intentions for Imo State youths he wouldn’t have given them phones to attack IPOB; he would have provided industries and companies where the youths will work and produce phones for sale.
“Imo youths should know that Uzodinma is taking them for granted.
“They should stop being gullible.
“We are warning Mazi Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest to steer clear, and not strike a deadly deal with Hope Uzodinma.
“He should not dare IPOB.
“Let him continue his restaurant business and not get deceived by Hope Uzodinma and his APC co-travellers.
“Anybody who know this man should tell him to retrace his steps and don’t allow Uzodinma to use him to fight innocent people.”
