Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB) has slammed the leader of Biafra Independent
Movement (BIM), Ralph Uwazuruike over statement credited to him accusing
its leader, Nnamdi Kanu of blackmailing him with the Radio Biafra.
In
a statement issued by the group’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma
Powerful, IPOB alleged that Uwazuruike’s statement was aimed at
attracting both sympathy and cheap publicity.
The
group said the truth is that Nnamdi Kanu funded Radio Biafra from his
pocket after the initial three months that the then Uwazuruike-led
MASSOB’s support for the radio elapsed.
It
said the whole world knew that Kanu was on Radio Biafra soliciting for
assistance in 2009, and wondered how Uwazuruike could claim he is the
founder of the station.
While
accusing the BIM leader of selling himself out as a result of greed, the
group asked him to focus on his real estate and hotel businesses,
adding that Biafra’s restoration is for serious minded people.
The
statement reads: “When he was collecting blood money from Nigerian
politicians, didn’t he know that he placed a price tag on his head and
by extension the entire struggle for freedom? He sold himself cheap
because of his insatiable greed.
“Everything
about him is a lie and fraud and the blood of those that died under his
command will haunt him forever. Nnamdi Kanu funded Radio Biafra from
his own pocket after the initial 3 months MASSOB provided support
elapsed. The whole world knew Nnamdi Kanu was on Radio Biafra soliciting
for assistance in 2009; then how can Uwazuruike claim he is the founder
of the station; it’s a big lie.
“He
is comfortable with lies; that is why he finds it so easy to deceive the
few gullible ones with him in his BIM. If he is a man of the people,
let him come out and take a walk in Owerri and see if he won’t be
stoned.
“Every
Biafran knows that the current Radio Biafra making waves all over the
world had no input from Uwazuruike. Our leader founded Radio Biafra and
re-launched it in April 2014 with the active support of Uche Mefor his
deputy. Uwazuruike was too busy selling his soul to the devil than
concern himself with genuine Biafra agitation.
“He
foolishly travelled to Kaduna out of the need to impress his
Hausa-Fulani masters because he is nothing more than an Arewa stooge and
informant for DSS. He has gone the way of most Igbo politicians with
political godfathers in the North or West, men without honour or any
sense of pride.
“Nnamdi
Kanu and IPOB is a different ball game all together and our enemies
know this. Uwazuruike should go and hang his head in shame. The fact
that he is not ashamed of himself or how he betrayed the struggle is
indicative of his criminal mindset.
“He
is finished and no amount of cheap propaganda can save him. Nobody is
blackmailing Uwazuruike, he is the architect of his own downfall due to
greed. Such a person is his own worst enemy.”
