Kanu’s Letter Putting An End To Sit-At-Home, Authentic – IPOB Spokesman

…Says, it serves as a warning to Ekpa

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has declared that the handwritten letter by its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to the leader of the Finland-based faction of the group, Simon Ekpa, instructing him to stop forthwith the Sit-At-Home exercise in the South-East was authentic.

IPOB stressed that the reckless enforcement and abuse of Sit-At-Homes was an opportunity for criminals to kidnap, murder, maim, and snatch cars from innocent citizens.

These were contained in a statement issued on Saturday, July 29, 2023 by the spokesperson for the IPOB, Emma Powerful, in which he explained that the clarification became necessary to reinforce the message disassociating Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB from the “senseless” enforcement of the Sit-At-Home order.

Powerful specifically said that the claims that Kanu’s handwritten note was fake was part of Ekpa and his clique’s mischief to continue in their contract to blackmail IPOB and Kanu with the violent enforcement of the infamous Sit-At-Home orders used to terrorise the people of the Southeast.

He said that the IPOB leadership understand that a power-drunk inconsequential kangaroo defacto government in exile will ignore the order for the fear of deflating his over-bloated ego.

The IPOB spokesman also said that Kanu’s handwritten letter served as the last warning to Simon Ekpa to desist from his incessant Sit-At-Home orders in the South-East.

The IPOB leader, Kanu had in a handwritten letter to Ekpa on Friday, directed him to stop the Sit-At-Home order in the South-East forthwith particularly against the backdrop of its devastating effect on the region’s economy and the well-being of the people.

Kanu’s letter to Ekpa was made public by the IPOB leader’s legal counsel at a press conference held in Enugu on Friday.

Commenting on the authenticity of the letter, IPOB spokesman, Powerful noted that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, in his wisdom, communicated the message to the infiltrators through the right channel and a source they should trust.

In the words of Powerful; “That message in his handwriting serves as the last warning to perpetrators of the infamous Sit-At-Home. The note from our leader disassociating himself and IPOB from the infamous Sit-At-Homes is being distributed to all Nigeria security agencies, all foreign embassies in Abuja, and to the contractors of the infiltrators for their notice.

“IPOB leadership initiated the Monday Sit-At-Home in protest of the abduction and rendition of our leader and to make sure that the Federal Government arraigned Kanu openly, in a public court where we could see him.

“But our leader instructed that it be suspended so that we don’t torture our people. In line with the principle of command and control, we obeyed, and the Sit-At-Home order was suspended.

“However, infiltrators who don’t believe in the principle of command and control, which is a core value of IPOB, ignored the order from our leader. These infiltrators working alongside the Nigeria government contracted agent provocateurs’ violent enforcement of reckless Sit-At-Homes has escalated insecurity in the South-East.

“We are IPOB, and we are wiser than the serpent. The claims that Kanu’s handwritten note is fake is part of their mischief to continue in their contract to blackmail IPOB and Kanu with the violent enforcement of the infamous sit-at-home orders used to terrorise our people.

Powerful noted that several messages sent by Kanu through his visitors at the DSS dungeon to the infiltrators to stop the reckless Sit-At-Home several times were all to no avail.

He further said; “Senator Enyinnaya Abaraibe tabled this message in the red chamber of the senate what Kanu told them when they visited him in the DSS custody with Ohanaeze Ndigbo delegates in the DSS headquarters Abuja, where he was illegally and unconstitutionally detained in DSS solitary confinement since June 2021.

“When our leader called for complete peace in Biafra land and to protect our people instead of killing them in one of his court appearances, he was referring to the infiltrators to stop their infamous enforcement of Sit-At-Home orders and enforcement.

“That call went on deaf ears. This last message in his handwriting is the last straw. Every Biafran must understand the importance of this letter. If you are a lover of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, you must listen to him.

“More so, we must stop giving credence to the enemy of Ndigbo and Biafrans claiming to be Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s disciple but, have gone ahead to make himself a Prime Minister while his supposed leader is in solitary detention,” the IPOB spokesman said.
