Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has failed to lead other members of the pro-Biafra group to New York, the United States for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA74).
YaahooJournalist recalls that the Media and Publicity Secretary of the IPOB, Emma Powerful had said in a statement issued last week Monday, that Kanu will grace the UNGA74.
“Regarding the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York, we have both direct and indirect representations for the forthcoming events in the US. Our people are on the ground.
“If the right conditions which we are waiting for are put in place, our leader will personally lead our people; otherwise it would be on a later date which would be duly announced,” the IPOB spokesman had said in a statement made available to journalists in Onitsha, Anambra State.
However, a fact check by YaahooJournalist shows that the IPOB leader was not at the 74th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA74) which opened on September 17, 2019.
The first day of the high-level General Debate was Tuesday, September 24, 2019. During the week of the debate, several other high-level events also convened.
On Monday, 23 September, the UN Secretary-General convened a Climate Summit, and the UNGA held a one-day high-level meeting on Universal Health Coverage (UHC);
YaahooJournalaist understands that on Tuesday, 24 September, following the opening of the 74th General Debate, the UNGA convened a meeting of the UN High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF), which took place on the afternoon of 24 September and all day on 25 September;
Furthermore, on Thursday, 26 September, the UNGA held a high-level dialogue on financing for development (FfD), as well as a high-level meeting on the elimination of nuclear weapons.
YaahooJournalist reports that on Friday, 27 September, the UNGA held a high-level meeting to review progress made in addressing the priorities of small island developing States (SIDS) through the implementation of the SIDS Accelerated Modalities of Action (SAMOA) Pathway.
President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria, on Saturday, September 28, returned to the country from the UNGA74 but Nnamdi Kanu, his greatest critic was not still spotted anywhere close to the UNGA74.
