Political Briefs
GOVERNOR Willie Obiano of Anambra State has denied claims that he is among financiers of the Movement for Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, and Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in the state.
The governor who described the allegation as the work of the opposition, said there was no time he gave sport utility vehicle, SUV, vehicles or cash to Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the IPOB Leader, as alleged.
In a statement in Akwa, the state capital, on Tuesday, June 6, by Oliver Okpala, his senior special assistant on Media and Strategic Communications, Obiano described as false the allegation that he was funding the MASSOB and IPOB.
The statement warned propagandists, saying: “Our decision as law-abiding citizens to play politics according to the rules and to eschew bitterness falsehood and indecent approach to political issues should not be taken for weakness, as nobody has monopoly to the articulation of dangerous propaganda as an instrument of political warfare.
“Certainly, if these pleas are not heeded, we shall not have any alternative than to return fire for fire, as a word is enough for the wise.”
