Kanu: Igbo governors more intelligent, won’t fall for your antics – IPOB replies Malami

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), on Tuesday, lashed out at the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, over his comment that Igbo governors would determine whether or not its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, should be released unconditionally, saying they (governors) were more intelligent than him and won’t fall for his antics.

This was as the group claimed that, with the stance of the Federal Government and that of Malami, there was a grand plan to make the country a terrorist haven, saying it was expedient for the authorities to obey the court judgement that granted its leader, Kanu, freedom.

The group’s Director of Media and Publicity, Emma Powerful, stated this in a statement, on Tuesday.

The statement read, “The attention of the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra under the leadership and command of the great liberator and prophet Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been drawn to the unintelligent, disgraceful and incoherent statements credited to the Attorney General Alhaji Abubakar Malami to the effect that the Igbo Governors and politicians will decide whether Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will be released unconditionally.

“What a clownish statement from the chief law officer of Nigeria, a SAN for that matter who should know better.

“IPOB believes that these Igbo Governors and politicians that Malami want to turn into a reviewing panel of the judgement of a competent court of Jurisdiction the Court of Appeal know the game and evil intention of the AGF and will certainly not fall for his Greek poison packaged in the deceptive form of making them relevant. IPOB can confidently posit that these governors and politicians are more intelligent than the Fulani quota system Attorney General and Minister of Justice of the Federation.

“This Fulani terrorists’ sponsoring Government think that their divide and conquer tactics will work for them this time around in their attempt to try and shift the responsibility of the continued illegal incarceration of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra on the governors and politicians of South East extraction. Their agenda to create confusion and more problems in Igboland won’t work. We will not allow them to do this again to our people.

“IPOB wants to ask Malami when did Igbo Governors and politicians become a Court of superior mandate in Nigeria to decide if Mazi Nnamdi Kanu our Leader will be released unconditionally or not after the Appeal Court the second highest Court of competent jurisdiction has made a well-reasoned ruling already. It seems Malami does not have the buckle to approach the Supreme Court now that the Aeroplane turner is no longer in charge hence the desire to supplant and foreclose that channel by trying to implicate governors and politicians of South East origin.”

“Malami and APC Government must release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu unconditionally as declared by the Appeal Court and recommended by the UN Human Rights Working Group without delay because he committed no crime known to either Local or International law.

“Malami have been releasing terrorists from prison without taking them to court but have decided to play a demy god by this attempt to disregard and disobey the judgement of the Court of Appeal, as it has ignored the opinion of the UN Human Rights Working Group,” the statement added.
