IPOB Fumes At Nigerians Linking Peter Obi With Attack On US Convoy In Anambra

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have responded to Nigerians who have accused Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, of being responsible for last week’s attack on the convoy carrying US embassy workers in Ogbaru, Anambra State.

The group requested that Nigerians refrain from connecting the former governor of the Anambra state to the attack in a statement released by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, and labeled the claim as a simple demonization by those it observed do not want Obi to succeed.

According to IPOB, Obi “won” the presidential allegation on February 25 and that his mandate is divine and cannot ever be curtailed by anyone.

“Those linking Peter Obi to these attacks on US Embassy Convoy are the ones that fingers are pointing to regarding the crisis happening in the south East region.

There is no way they can link innocent Peter Obi to it because he is from Anambra State. Does that mean that all the attacks happening in Adamawa State and Katsina State were caused by Atiku Abubakar and the Buhari in Aso Rock, respectively?

No matter how ESN security work is, it can never be deemed good or right by the Nigerian government and its security agents. What is the justification to link Peter Obi to the criminalities going on in the Southeast?

Can it also be said that all the banditry and terrorism happening in Northern Nigeria is masterminded by their criminal politicians whose evidence shows that they aid and abet terrorists?

We are aware that several terrorist and bandit groups in the North are sponsored by the unscrupulous elements around them there. We should be asking, why are they mentioning Peter Obi?

Is it because he summoned up the courage to contest their selection process called an election and won by a landslide?

They are now robbing him of the mandate given to him by the people of Nigeria because he is an Igbo man.

They are busy exposing their cluelessness in desperation to demonize IPOB. America has one of the most sophisticated intelligence in the world and can not be deceived by Alamajiris in the government at Abuja.

We expect the US government to carry out an independent investigation into the attack.”the group said

IPOB also denied claims that its members carried out the attack.

The US consulate staff were in the local government area for a humanitarian work when their convoy came under attack on Tuesday, May 16.  Seven persons were killed in the attack.
