Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the embattled Biafra Nation agitator, has not been ousted or replaced as the IPOB leader, according to his legal counsel.

Kanu’s lawyer, Aloy Ejimakor, has slammed claims that he has been replaced as Director of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in the United Kingdom by one Sofia Chinyere Kalu.

Anaedoonline.ng has learned that Mrs Kalu, the group’s Financial Secretary in the United Kingdom, has assumed the role of Kanu, who is now in the custody of the Department of State Security Service, DSS.

Kalu is the new Director of IPOB Worldwide, according to Ezeji Chukwuma, a separatist who maintains the IPOB and Radio Biafra Community Interest Companies (CIC) Registry in London, UK.

According to Anaedoonline.ng, the assertion was echoed by Simon Ekpa, a self-proclaimed follower of Kanu.

However, the reports have demanded a definite statement from Ejimakor.

Ejimakor stated that Kanu is still the Director of IPOB in the United Kingdom, UK, in a statement sent to the press on Thursday.

Despite the fact that the leader has been detained for many days, he insisted that IPOB’s organization has not altered.

“In its totality, the report is false. “The organizational framework of IPOB as a legal corporation in the United Kingdom remains unchanged, with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as Director,” Ejimakor stated.

Meanwhile, Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Youth Council, has urged people of South-West and South-South to allow a Southeast extraction of a Nigerian president in 2023 to reciprocate the latter’s political sacrifices to them.

Anaedoonline.ng reports that the national president of OYC, Comrade Igboayaka O. Igboayaka, made this known in a press release on Thursday ahead of the Southern Youth Leaders’ Summit coming up in Owerri.

He said, “In every fairness, former Governor Bola Tinubu’s political teams and APC political elite and members from South-West owe Dr Ogbonnaya Onu a political reciprocation. Dr Onu dropped his presidential ambition in 1999 with APP, which made Chief Olu Falae the party’s presidential candidate. Dr Onu deserves a regional honour from Yoruba nation.

“It is obvious that towards the actualization of South-west presidential project in 1999, South-East paid an ultimate price through Dr Alex Ekwueme who played low and accepted internal arrangements for Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to pick the presidential ticket of PDP in 1999.

“It will amount to regional and tribal hatred if any presidential aspirant from South-West decides to challenge South-east presidential aspirants in APC in the forthcoming 2022 primary election. The South-East became political spectators in the 1999 presidential election just to allow South-West to play the presidential political tournament which led to the victory of Chief Obasanjo.”

He also appealed while reminding the South-South people of the gestures displayed by the southeasterners which paved the way for the emergence of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan as the vice and later president of Nigeria in the year 2011 and 2015, respectively.
