IPOB: Those comparing Kanu to Jesus are enemies planted within us

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) says
“enemies” planted in its group were responsible for
comparing Nnamdi Kanu to Jesus Christ.

In a statement on Sunday, Emma Powerful,
spokesperson of IPOB, claimed that the Department of
State Services (DSS) and unnamed politicians were
behind a plot to defame Kanu.

Powerful said Kanu is a Christian and will never
challenge the authority of God.

“It is dangerous comparing him with God Almighty or
Jesus Christ. It is the work of enemies planted within
us by DSS and some politicians. Those involved in this
ridiculous scandal and deformation of character will
fail without delay and God Almighty Chukwu Okike
Abiama must deal with them,” the statement read in
part.

“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the IPOB leader in his life never
challenged the authority of God Almighty who created
Heaven and earth or Jesus Christ the son of God even
the spirit.

“Nnamdi Kanu is a Christian and cannot blaspheme
God Almighty and his son Jesus Christ, those using
his name as saviour, messiah and Jesus are
misinformed and uneducated because he never asked
them to do so.”

Powerful further said it was not the wish of Kanu to
boycott the Anambra governorship election but that of
the eastern part of the country and IPOB members who
visited him in Umuahia.

“The boycott of election in Anambra State come
November this year was not the making of Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu rather the wish of eastern Nigeria and
IPOB members who visited him in his home town
Umuahia, where the people told him that they don’t
need election again in Biafra land and they are ready
to boycott election because since the creation of
Nigeria they benefited nothing in Nigeria elections
except killing, riots and humiliation from our
politicians,” it read.

“Since the announcement for the election boycott in
Anambra state, the federal government and their agent
the DSS mapped out strategies and huge amount of
money sharing to destroy and tarnish the image of
Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB in general, those with this
stupid story on social media platforms should retrace
their steps because they will fail.”
