• Mocks president’s comments on returning to Niger
From Stanley Uzoaru, Owerri
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s plea to Nigerians to forgive him of his shortcomings while in power as he prepares to bow out on May 29.
The group’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful, said his sins were too numerous and therefore cannot be forgiven.
He claimed under his administration, over 1,000 of IPOB members in different protests were killed while 2,523 were detained.
On the president’s comment of possible relocation to Niger Republic after his tenure to rest, it said: “To us in IPOB, his sins are unpardonable, and we don’t care if he relocates to Mars or Jupiter instead of Niger Republic with his generation.
“He still won’t be saved from his atrocities. His crimes will find him out by the time he finishes relocating. IPOB will continue to expose him because we know he is from Niger Republic.
“So, this man want Nigerians to forgive him for aiding the killing of indigenous people, arming terrorists, ethnic cleansing, destabilising the country, Fulani enthronement, nepotism, national treasury looting, public deception, and many unforgettable and unforgivable crimes.
“Very sad indeed. Which of the sins and atrocities he committed does he want to be forgive? Does he really want Nigerians to forgive him? As long as IPOB is concerned, the sins he masterminded and implemented are unforgivable.
“Let the man, Buhari, and the cabal in Aso Rock begin appeasement for their numerous sins against Biafrans by releasing Nnamdi Kanu unconditionally as ordered by Nigeria Courts and UN Working Group,” Powerful said.
