NUJ Conference: Leave Us Out Of Your Dirty Politics – IPOB Tells Petrus Obi, Others
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Saturday cautioned one Petrus Obi against dragging it into his Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) politics, stressing that he is too little to contend with IPOB.
IPOB in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, noted that the fallacious statement credited to one Petrus Obi, against it with regards to the National Delegates Conference of the NUJ scheduled to take place in October in the South East i totally baseless.
It noted that Petrus Obi, has been at loggerheads with his people in his village as well as the NUJ, adding that the said Petrus Obi deliberately wants to get cheaper popularity by attacking IPOB, thus, it would not dignify him with a response.
IPOB stressed that it wants to make it clear that it has nothing against the NUJ and will support and defend the NUJ because they have been on the side of truth regarding the atrocities of Fulani herdsmen, bandits and terrorists in Nigeria.
The statement further said; “IPOB can never resort to attacking NUJ in the South East because journalists are not our problem, rather they are partners in progress.
“IPOB remains the most peaceful freedom movement in the world today but, detractors and enemies are trying to portray IPOB in bad light to demonise our hard-built images across the world.
“We reiterate that IPOB is a friend of NUJ, and will never take any action injurious to their interest. Importantly, IPOB is peace-loving and committed to Biafra restoration,” IPOB said.
It therefore urged members of the public, particularly NUJ to ignore and disregard the fabricated and fallacious statement by Petrus Obi against IPOB, adding that it is aware that he was sponsored by the enemies of Biafra who are not happy with the reportage of pro-Biafra groups by journalists.
