In a latest twist to the rupture pulling apart the leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, the Peter Obi-backed faction of the proscribed group has suddenly grown uncomfortable at their rival faction led by Simon Ekpa for antagonizing politicians and governors without their consent.
In a handwritten letter, the leader of the outlawed group, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on Friday warned Ekpa to “desist from calling for any sit-at-home henceforth” and “to make a public announcement to the effect that he (Ekpa) is in receipt of a direct order from him (Kanu) to cancel any pending sit-at-home in place at the moment”
He resounded to them to “refrain from antagonising governors or persons in political positions because you are not in a position to know what they are doing on my behalf.”
The outlawed group has continued to cause mayhem in the South-East region crippling economic activities and growth with millions of residents including politicians and governors living in perpetual fear for the safety of their lives and properties.
