THE Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has denied the reports that Nnamdi Kanu, its leader, is against Christianity and Islam. IPOB said Kanu in his life never condemned Christianity because he was raised in a Christian home by Christian parents and will never do such.
In a statement signed by Emma Powerful, media and publicity secretary, IPOB, the group noted that Kanu has respect for Christianity, Islam, and other faith-based religions around the world. Powerful said he was surrounded by Judeo-Christian faith practitioners of whom he is one. “His parents died professing Judeo-Christian values. Only those fake pastors, who believe solely in collecting tithes and offerings in churches without looking tangibly towards improving the lives of their fellow Christians in Nigeria are the ones behind this twisted narrative.
“For the umpteenth time, our leader does not hate Christianity and will never attack the faith. What he is against is the twisting of some Christian doctrines by selfish and greedy pastors to fleece their brainwashed followers. May we also use this opportunity to appeal to all those, who may have misunderstood our leader as disrespecting men of God or showing no regard for Christian doctrines, to disabuse their minds and understand that he is only opposed to wolves in sheep’s’ clothing.
“He still has respect for honest men of God, who have not compromised their divine mandate. Again, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not against any Biblical injunctions practiced by genuine Christians in reverence to God Almighty. It is on record and confirmed by the Nigerian Presidency that IPOB and its leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu have been at the forefront of defending Christians in Nigeria more than any Christian group or pastors and men of God have ever done.
“IPOB spends a huge amount of money every month in highlighting the plight of persecuted Christians in Nigeria and beyond. Over 80 percent of the content of his messaging on Twitter @MaziNnamdiKanu is about persecuted Christians. In this digital age, the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, with all its resources do not have a single social media presence. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been filling that gap for them,” he said.
According to Powerful, Kanu is unwavering in his divine assignment to liberate Biafrans and also every suffering Nigerian, who wish to be free. He said no amount of cheap blackmail can deter him. “Therefore, everybody must support his ongoing expository effort which is a mandate from God Almighty in Heaven. All of us shall benefit from it when this struggle is over.
“Our intelligence has revealed that based on these facts, the Nigerian government gathered some pastors and men of God, particularly corrupt Igbo politicians to sabotage efforts by IPOB and our leader Nnamdi Kanu towards Biafra restoration. The insensitive and unguarded statements by these faceless groups and individuals, no doubt sponsored by politicians and some dubious men of God are becoming so confusing to the point that one can hardly tell the difference between a man of God and a politician.
“While some pastors and men of God from Biafraland and other parts of the world appreciate the true gospel, which our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu preaches on Radio Biafra to liberate the entire continent of Africa, these self -seeking fellows are bent on twisting the truth he speaks. The Highest God in Heaven by his infinite grace and mercy is using our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to educate and liberate our people from the bondage of religious confusion, which some pastors are using to destroy the thinking faculties of our people in the whole of Africa for a long time now.
“Forming different groups to attack the great family of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, is futile because God Almighty is behind us to deliver Africa and particularly Biafrans, who are the bearers of the light of God with which Africans will see.”
