Stop Thinking Yourself Igbo Leader, APGA Warns Nnamdi Kanu

The All Progressives Grand Alliance [APGA] has warned the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra [IPOB], Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to quit assuming himself the leader of the Igbo nation.

APGA issued the stern warning to Mazi Kanu in the wake of his call on Anambra people to boycott the forthcoming gubernatorial election in the state.

In a letter to Kanu, signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Ifeatu Obiokoye, and obtained by Elombah.com, the party said the call was irresponsible and unintellectual.

While acknowledging him as the leader of IPOB, APGA said that Kanu had no authority to speak for the Igbos of the South-East.

The statement reads: “Nnamdi Kanu’s call for a boycott of elections in the South-East, beginning with the governorship polls scheduled for November 18, 2017 in Anambra is irresponsible, irredentist and totally devoid of any focus.

“You must appreciate that for different logical reasons and perception, the Biafra concept has attracted favourable comments among our people, ostensibly borne out of the marginalisation of Ndigbo in the Nigerian state.

“While youths of the East are agitating for Biafra, the Arewa youths are equally restive; the same goes for Niger Delta youths and youths from Oduduwa states.

“In this popular agitation for Biafra, Ndigbo have not instituted a separatist movement or a terrorist gang as it were. 

“We are more concerned about the continued existence of Nigeria under the present structural arrangement,” it said.

The party also chided Kanu to quit seeing himself as an “emperor” or Messiah of some sort.

It advised him to ‘humble himself to the true leadership of Ndigbo for a proper and better articulation of the Biafra struggle’.
