THE Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has praised ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo for advising President Muhammadu Buhari not to re-contest for a second term in 2019.

Stating that Obasanjo’s views tallied with those of Nnamdi Kanu, its leader IPOB in a statement signed by Emma Powerful, its  media and publicity secretary issued on Wednesday, said the only difference is that Obasanjo’s view point is more encompassing.

According to the IPOB, Obasanjo’s 13-page statement “was carefully timed to deliver a devastating blow to the scavenging class of political prostitutes in Igboland that shamelessly went to hawk their wares in Abuja a few days ago, adding that the endorsement of Buhari for a second term by All Progressives Congress, APC, leaders in South East was “shameless”.

Describing the APC leaders them as “undignified individuals under the banner Igbo leaders”, IPOB expressed support to Obasanjo for his timely intervention at a time of national crisis when people are losing their lives all across the Middle Belt and Southern Nigeria.

It added that anybody discussing partisan politics under such an atmosphere of mass misery is not fit to be regarded as a human being talk less a leader.

“What Obasanjo said is the clearest endorsement of the philosophy of our leader and prophet of our time Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, that the only way to reign in a dictatorship is by confronting it head on with the truth.

“Obasanjo has spoken the truth and should be applauded for it. Those hungry and insatiable APC yes men that visited Aso Rock to endorse Buhari for 2019 under the banner of Igbo leaders should all cover their collective faces in shame.

“They have brought shame and dishonour to Igboland by openly embracing a mass murderer.”

Stating that Obasanjo has seen the inherent danger of Buhari administration continuing, IPOB also lauded Professor Ben Nwabueze and Mbazuluike Amaechi for speaking out against Buhari’s government without fear or favour for some time now.

It said that it is crystal clear from analysis of Obasanjo’s statement that the new coalition he is calling for is something similar to what IPOB is doing, but on broader all-encompassing scale that will include all ethnicities in Nigeria rather than one restricted to Biafra alone.
