Biafra: Nnamdi Kanu Explodes Over Ihedioha’s Sack, Hope Uzodinma’s Emergence
Nnamdi Kanu, The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has condemned the emergence of Hope Uzodinma as the Executive Governor of Imo State, saying the former senator is allowed as a governor “we are finished as a people.”
YaahooJournalist reports that Kanu made this statement during a live broadcast on Radio Biafra on Wednesday, January 15, to mark the “Biafra War 50th Anniversary.”
YaahooJournalist had reported earlier that the Supreme court sacked Ihedioha as governor of Imo state and affirmed Uzodinma as the winner of the March 9 governorship election.
A seven-man panel of justices while giving judgment on the election on Tuesday, in a unanimous decision, held that Ihedioha did not win the majority of votes cast in the election.
Reading the judgment, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, ordered INEC to withdraw the certificate of return issued to Ihedioha and give a fresh one to his APC rival.
“The votes due to the appellant, Hope Uzodinma and the All Progressives Congress (APC) from 388 polling units were wrongly excluded from scores ascribed to them,” Justice Kekere-Ekun ruled.
Reacting to the judgment during a live broadcast, Kanu said: “If we allow Hope Uzodinma we are finished as a people, we must not allow Fulani to dictate for us from Abuja, allow Imo people to decide.
“Fulani needs to control who controls you, hence the need to bring in Hope Uzodinma.
“If IPOB allows this gibberish in Imo State then they will circulate it to every state. So IPOB cannot allow it, Hope Uzodimma cannot rule Imo, rather call for a fresh election let the people of Imo decide with foreign observers present,” the IPOB leader added.
