Disrespecting Jonathan won’t help your struggle for Biafra- Ex-President's kinsmen tell IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu

The Ogbia Brotherhood Youth Council (OBYC), has asked Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu, to desist from disrespecting former president Goodluck Jonathan, as he makes his case for the creation of Biafra.

In a recent interview with The Sun, Kanu described the former president as a weak and incompetent leader whose wife, Patience, would have done better if given the chance to become president..

Reacting to his statement, the National President of OBYC, Dr. Laguo Gilbert, in a statement released yesterday, described Kanu's statement as unfortunate and therefore should be disregarded by the public.

“Bringing former President Goodluck Jonathan into this issues in such a disrespectful manner will neither help nor give credence to its rancour. OBYC therefore warns Nnamdi Kanu to desist forthwith from linking a man of honor like Dr. Jonathan into his directionless agitation. Such radical statements remain one of the reasons why the IPOB agitation lacks its required substance. The OBYC however advises Mr. Kanu to learn from the mistakes made by the group in the past and its predecessor, as this will be necessary to implement its vision,” the statement in part reads
