Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has berated Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, over his recent utterances about Peter Obi.
According to the group, Kwankwaso should stop linking its struggle with the presidential ambition of the Labour Party’s Peter Obi.

The group said Obi is not one of its members and has never supported the agitation for self-determination; hence Kwankwaso should desist from such connections.
Emma Powerful, the spokesman of IPOB, said in a statement on Tuesday, July 5, that the group is not interested in the process of Nigerian elections.
The statement by Powerful read:
The global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), under the command and leadership of our great leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wish to advise the former Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwoso not to involve IPOB in the selection process they call an election in Nigeria.The Nigerian politicians generally and Kwankwaso, in particular, should desist from linking IPOB with Peter Obi’s political ambition and campaign. Peter Obi is not an IPOB member, and never supported our agitation for freedom at any time because he pursues a totally different goal from that of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). We have no interest in the Nigerian morally decadent and fantastically corrupt political system and landscape.
Powerful further stated;
If Kwankwaso is threatened by the Labour party & Peter Obi’s teeming support by the creative and talented but downtrodden, neglected, deceived, deprived, killed (Endsars) Nigerian youths from even the North which your generation does not have any good intentions for, then he should go forward and settle his differences and stop linking IPOB to their problem.IPOB is not interested in the worthless politics you play in Nigeria, we don’t regard such daylight robbery, fraud, manipulation and selection as election. Maybe there is something Kwankwaso is not telling the world. Instead of saying the truth that because he is Fulani with the (born to rule mentality), he cannot play second fiddle to a Southern Christian presidential candidate, he has the temerity to associate our hallowed liberation movement with the shameless murky waters of the Zoo politics.
