IPOB Press Statement
October 2018
We view with utter disdain and sadness the macabre dance of shame being exhibited by some elements from the east over the emergence of Atiku Abubakar. These shameless politicians, typified by the institutionalized bundle of treachery abundant in Ohaneze Ndigbo ideology, have reared their ugly heads once again in the never-ending cycle of humiliation and suffering for Biafrans in Nigeria. If people can forget with such ease that Atiku Abubakar is yet another Fulani Muslim with a major stake in the murderous tendencies of Miyetti Allah a.k.a Fulani herdsmen, then there is a reason to question the sanity of those that claim they are political leaders in the south.
The same misplaced sycophantic euphoria greeted the emergence of Muhammadu Buhari in 2014 when the mantra was to get rid of the same PDP that some quislings are campaigning for today. We know where Buhari’s regime has landed everybody. The same greedy and political shortsightedness that led to the emergence of the Fulani Buhari is at play once again. It confirms what we IPOB have always known, that some people don’t have what it takes to usher in positive long-lasting change. The same band of criminal politicians responsible for the pain and hardship ravaging our land today are now telling us to vote for the umpteenth time in the hope that things will get better this time around when they know it won’t.
It is frankly unbelievable that some people can be that gullible as to be taken in by the charade that passes as electioneering in Nigeria. The noise making and celebration at the emergence of another Fulani man to contest presidential seat come 2019 under the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is indicative that politics in Nigeria is an exercise in recycling expired criminals in the corridors of power.
