IPOB: Nnamdi Kanu in another trouble

The popular IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu is in fresh trouble.

OnyxNews Nigeria reports that the governor of Abia state, southeast Nigeria, Okezie Ikpeazu, has given the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, 21 days to return to Nigeria or lose the Ibeku Kingdom’s kingship.

The Abia Governor said this while addressing journalists in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, where he lamented that the Federal Government led by President Muhammadu Buhari has abandoned Abia state because of the IPOB leader.

This reliable online news platform reports that the IPOB Leader who is a prince is from Isiama Afara Ukwu Ibeke community, Umuahia, Abia State.

Kanu has been on exile since he resurfaced in Israel two years ago. His parents died last year.

Nnamdi Kanu failed to attend the burial of his parents, Eze Israel Okwu Kanu (JP) and Ugoeze Nnenne Kanu. His father, Eze Kanu was the king of Isiama Afara Ukwu, however, since his burial, the kingdom has remained without a king as Kanu’s younger brother cannot be crowned a king according to the tradition when Nnamdi Kanu is still alive.

Nnamdi Kanu again blasts Buhari

Reacting to Nnamdi Kanu’s continuous refusal to return to Nigeria, Governor Ikpeazu lamented that the IPOB Leader “committed an offence and ran away before the unfortunate death of his father,” an offence he said has cost Abia State a lot.

Governor Ikpeazu’s word: ”I have decided to take the final decision as the executive Governor of Abia state.

“Nnamdi Kanu has done harms to Abia State! He is the reason I didn’t develop Abia and complete some of the projects I promised to do because each time I go to the FG to demand money, they always tell me that my state is harbouring Terrorists.

“Nnamdi committed an offence and ran away before the unfortunate death of his father. Now it’s time to take a decision.

“If after 21 days from now and he fails to come back and be crowned the king of Ibeku, I will have no option than to appoint a king myself and whoever I appoint must remain till I leave the office.

“I am the most powerful man in Abia and whatever decision I take must stand.”
