The Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) has said that it is not responsible for the delay in the burial of Late Senator Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah (Ebube – Chukwu Uzo ), in his home town, Nnewi, Nnewi North LGA in Anambra State, Nigeria.
The group insisted that the delay in the burial is not in any way connected to the Kidnapping and rendettion of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria, reports silvernews.com.ng
The IPOB Media Officer, Comrade Emma Powerful, in a statement, claimed that the deceased Federal lawmaker stepped on the toes of many people, expecially those from Nnewi, when he was alive.
IPOB has insisted that Nnewi traditional leaders and their custodians are aware of the reason for the delay in the burial.
The statement read,” We have the reliable information of those who bank – rolled and sponsored the abduction and rendetioning of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, from Kenya to Nigeria, and we will surely take an appropriate response at the right time.
For now, we are much more concerned with other pressing matters to IPOB.
“It is a known fact that late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah intentionally stepped on the toe of many Igbo People (NDI – IGBO), Particularly his Nnewi people.
The delay in his burial is not in anyway connected with the Kidnapping and rendettion of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“Those who collaborated with the Nigerian government in Committing these abominations are still around”.
*The Nnewi traditional leaders and their custodians are people of rich culture and traditions”.
,”They know why the burial of the Late Senator is being delayed’.
“Nobody should link what happened to the IPOB leader to the delay in the burial of Late Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah.
IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu should be left out of the traditional quagmire.
“IPOB respects the oneness and deep tradition among Nnewi people.
They know what to do to ensure that peace reigns in Nnewi.
IPOB encourages them to do what is culturally permissible to ensure that the remains of their son are not buried outside their ancestral land.
“What is happening to the burial of Late Senator Ubah should be a wake up call to the radicals and the untouchable politicians to remember that one day, Biafrans may reject your corpse and even that of their children”.
“They may even be treated as outcasts and possibly banished from Biafra Land.
Let he who has ears hear what the Spirit is saying, Comrade Emma Powerful concluded.
