The Director of Strategy and Documentation of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Olisa Mbakwe on Monday announced that its leader, Nnamdi Kanu has been sacked from the group.

Mbakwe said Kanu was fired for placing more value on his dog than those murdered in the struggle for the realisation of Biafra.

Speaking during Sunday’s broadcast from his base in Israel, Kanu mourned his dog and “a few other people” in his compound, who lost their lives when military men invaded the place in September 2017.

Kanu had said during the broadcast, “The Army of the zoo killed my dog Jack and a few other people in my compound. I am sorry for what my sureties are passing through, but I want to assure them that they will have a special place in Biafra. I shall not be honouring the court.”

Reacting, Mbakwe described Kanu as an “insensitive and callous leader that has no value for his own followers but rather his dog, Jack whom he paid tributes to after his long disappearance from the struggle”.

In a statement he personally signed, Mbakwe, of IPOB, also insisted that Kanu was a “traitor not worthy of any leadership position anywhere in the world”.

He stated that Kanu was removed for reasons which included, “personalisation of the Biafran struggle and derailing from the core objectives of IPOB as a grassroots movement”.

The statement read: “On Sunday, October 21, 2018, an individual, Mazi Nnamdi Nwanekaenyi Kanu, claiming to be the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Director General of Radio Biafra made a live broadcast that has left us perplexed, because it is unthinkable that someone will impersonate IPOB to the point of plotting to abuse the organization to hurt the interest of Biafra.

“The strength of the Republic of Biafra that we are struggling to actualize, is in its human resources as embodied in our versatile youths that dominate the fields of play across sectors of human endeavor; the country we have set our vision on creating is therefore not to be made up of tombstones but of people fulfilling their life missions as ordained by God.

“Nnamdi Kanu relinquished his position as the leader of IPOB struggle the day he deserted our members to die, when they had mobilized to stand for our belief in Biafra at his residence in Afaraukwu. Several of our members were injured and some died in that encounter and even after emerging from hiding more than one year later all Kanu could do was to desecrate their memory with his radio broadcast. Nnamdi Kanu vividly, specifically and particularly recalled his family dog, Jack, by name while he dismissed our members that died as mere statistics — he only recalled them as 28 IPOB members.

“Even if Kanu had not deserted, there is no way we would have continued under the leadership of a man that values his family dog more than Biafrans.

“We are not unmindful of how Kanu struck the deal that granted him bail in the first place while abandoning our members, Benjamin Madubugwu, David Nwawusi, Bright Chimezie Ishinwa and Chidiebere Onwudiwe to languish in jail. Instead of using his freedom to accelerate the freedom of these authentic freedom fighters, he rather went about Biafra land receiving obeisance from Biafrans like a monarch, when our dear land is completely republican. The travails of these our brothers are not over yet and might have been worsened by Kanu’s live broadcast, which has totally upset us.

“In line with the decisions earlier announced on Radio Biafra on November 17, 2017 that Mazi Ezenwachukwu Sampson Okwudili is the new director for the radio, we reaffirm that Mazi Nnamdi Nwanekaenyi Kanu remains sacked as the Director of Radio Biafra and has also been removed as the leader of IPOB since he has proven he is not a worthy leader that respects the sanctity of the lives of our members.

“Following interventions by our leaders, considerations were being made to reverse the earlier announcement but after studying the Kanu’s live broadcast from Israel we came to the painful conclusion that we cannot make progress with our vision of Biafra, when one man has completely personalized and commercialized the struggle. The decision to drop Nnamdi Kanu from playing leading roles in IPOB affairs is hereby upheld. We shall announce replacements after consultations with the various stakeholders.”

Hahahaha .

Funny times.

The Army of the zoo killed my dog Jack and a few other people in my compound. 

Mbakwe said Kanu was fired for placing more value on his dog than those murdered in the struggle for the realisation of Biafra.

He cherished his dog more than the people he led on foolishly!
Odiegwu!

Afonja again. they have created another LIPOD
NK observed 1 minutes silence to the fallen comrades. He was also furious that the Zoo army could target a helpless animal that did not do anything to the zoo army. thats cruel.

We are Aticulating too

So this is how this fellow brought the hell he promised others on himself. He is now inconsequential in Biafra and Nigeria; despised by both his people and the greater Nigeria. Don't play with a general. He strategically let his people destroy him by themselves while cleanly absolving himself of any blame - the way masters of the art of war always do it.

Whatever that pleases ipob ..the media..and my fellow igbos..

Kanu being alive is the best thing that has happened to thw igbo nation.

If kanu has died that night ..the story of igbo nation won't go well..
Nigerians will mock igbos at every turn..taunt igbos at every opportunity..Being a 2nd class citizens go nice self..
Our immediate neighbors will too rubbish us..talk more of those who naturally despise our progress..
Biafra would have died ..and millions of our people who died would have died in vain..and no more will biafra rise.
This our complain of marginalisation for don child's place..some of us here typing trash for no see trash to type sef.

Any attempted agitation go turn full scale war?our land destroy..our women raped..things would have never been the same.

No matter how he negotiate or escape ..the most important is that he's alive..

Biafra is alive..the spirit is alive.. the gods of the land gave him wisdom to survive. It's an act from the gods.. the gods are wise indeed.

If ipob wants to change a director now..it's very okay..ipob is the vehicle kanu ride on..it's their decision. Maybe kanu made more major mistake and his time is up as a director..he did his best..but not enough..he's still a member and the next director must have learnt lesson from his act..
But the struggle continues..

Meanwhile..

Igbos must join hand with the rest of greater good citizens of Nigeria to vote out this incompetent administration?led by Dullard in chief ?back to daura.

We should not forget that the rest of Nigerians are counting on our block votes and that of our brothers in South to vote out this incompetent part APC..party of lies and deciet..
We must vote to restore our country.. from being a failed state .
We're Nigerians first, with major interest..in the country.. pending referendum
We must mobilize and make our votes count..

We must collectively atikulate ..for the new Nigeria..
Atiku obi..will restore our economy and restore confidence in our system again.

At same time we must support ipob.. yes we must..and we must vote.

Let's play politics the Nigeria way.

I have seen the reason while Nairaland is a useless forum, always promoting lies and propaganda just because of Nnamdi Kanu,

if Igbo aren't too emotional, KANU wouldn't have exploited them


I'm glad Igbo has waken up but the game is not up yet, time to fight for your relevance in Nigeria politics is now




I wish you people the best as I stand with my candidate

Atiku Abubakar should be the next Supreme Leader of IPOB...

Nice one

So long an epistle, you were the same person going on every thread here on nairaland and telling your likes to steer clear of all anti IPOB and anti Nnamdi Kanu topics.
Please continue atikulating and girlcotting the next election, we support you.
Nnamdi Kanu has been sacked so go worship him and his dead dog Jack.
