2019 presidency: IPOB takes position on Atiku’s endorsement reveals when Kanu will address Igbo

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has reacted to the reported
endorsement of the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar by some Igbo leaders.

The pro-Biafran group disagreed with the leaders, noting that there
was no concrete, written and sealed agreement of what Atiku will do
for Ndigbo.

This was contained in a statement by the Media and Publicity
Secretary, of IPOB, Emma Powerful.

The group described as "premature, the endorsement of Atiku Abubakar
by a few Igbo men that gathered in Enugu on Wednesday," adding that
"for 40 years, similar endorsements had been going on without anything
to show for them."

IPOB added, "This practice of endorsement of presidential candidates
without any concrete binding agreement has been going on for 40 years
with absolutely nothing to show for it. Politics has come to an end
for IPOB members though.

"Those that once screamed, 'no restructuring, no election' to endear
themselves to IPOB now seem to have been bought over with cash and
promise of political appointments for their children.

"Such inconsistencies, lack of morally upright stance on critical
issues pertaining to on our survival as a race, have over the years,
led to the enslavement of our people for the enrichment of a few men
and their families."

The the statement added that its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will on
Saturday, November 17, 2018 continue his expository world broadcast on
Radio Biafra and will among other issues, discuss the endorsement.
