A group of youths suspected to be members of
the Indigenous People of Biafra on Friday,
allegedly disrupted a church function attended by
a governorship aspirant in Anambra State on the
platform of the Progressives Peoples Alliance, Mr.
Godwin Ezeemo.
The conflict, it was gathered, happened at
Odoekpe, Ogbaru Local Government Area of the
state.
The Biafra secessionist group had recently in a
statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary,
Emma Powerful, insisted that the November 18
poll in Anambra would not hold.
It said Anambra State as the flagship of Igbo held
a strategic position in the Biafra struggle that any
mistake made in handling Anambra affair in the
Biafra cause would have a ripple effect.
The statement said, “Our leader, Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu, is very strategic and methodical in his
approach to restore Biafra; therefore every step
IPOB takes, regardless of its impact, is designed
to bring Biafra closer.
“Anambra election boycott will benefit not just
Biafrans but other component ethnic nationalities
in Nigeria as well,” he said.
In the Friday incident, the IPOB youths disrupted
the campaign team of the PPA governorship
aspirant that went to Ogbaru to worship at God’s
Own Pentecostal Church.
The assailants who brandished Biafra flags and
singing Biafran songs besieged the worship
centre, asking the PPA flag bearer and his
entourage to desist from addressing the
congregation and leave their place.
One of them said, “Many politicians have been
lying to us and used us for so long ; we don’t
need them again.
“Our youths are jobless, our roads are bad. We
want our freedom and we do not want all these
politicians here anymore,” he raged.
However, Ezeemo continued to address the
congregation amid the confusion that ensued.
He said “I’m a Biafran in practice given that I
brought down all my investments to my
homeland.
“I can understand the agitation of these youths.
We have been lied to for so long by these
politicians but I left Britain to come back home so
that I can make things right. Just give me a
chance, I will not let you down.”
