Run Away From Nnamdi Kanu, He’s Southeast Problem

Joe Igbokwe.

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, has cautioned activist and politician Omoyele Sowore over his demand for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

Igbokwe advised Sowore to stay away from the issue, describing Kanu as a butcher responsible for the deaths of many people in the Southeast.

In a Facebook post titled “Final warning to Omoyele Sowore,” the APC chieftain alleged that Kanu’s followers had turned the Southeast into a region filled with violence and killings.

He wrote: “Omoyele Sowore says he is marching to Aso Rock to protest against the detention of the Butcher of South East called Nnamdi Kanu. I have told him, as a friend, to run 440. I have alerted his junior brother, Barr Allen Sowore, to tell Omoyele to run away from Nnamdi Kanu’s matter because the matter is bigger than him.

“I have advised him as a friend, but he will not listen. Nnamdi Kanu shed thousands of blood in the SE in 10 years. Nnamdi Kanu’s men turned SE into a killing field, a place of anything goes, the land of Patmos, Thomas Hobbes' State of Nature, where life is nasty, brutish and short. Nnamdi Kanu decimated SE.

“The man is senseless, without life, without soul, without faculty, without wisdom, without knowledge, without character, without understanding, etc.

“It was a useless business enterprise that moved the Igbo nation back by 50 years. We lost respect, honour, integrity, dignity, common sense and wisdom. Whatever came over our people, I cannot explain.

“We kept quiet, and idiots and vagabonds ruined the land of the rising sun. We went to sleep, and children led by the empty head called Nnamdi Kanu dragged the Igbo Nation into a terrible mess that will take us years to clear the Augean Stable.

“Sowore, Sowore, Sowore, how many times did I call you? 3 times abi? Run 440 away from the Southeast matter. You know nothing about what Nnamdi Kanu did in the South East in 10 years in the name of a totally useless and senseless Biafra project. Blood was shed. Blood was shed. I am a victim. Go to Nnewi and see my home. Go and speak to people before you join this senseless mission. Go and do due diligence in the SE before you put your mouth in the matter. The road leads to nowhere. I have done my duty.

“If you are from SW, SS, NC, NE, or NW, ignore Kanu and the reckless interloper called Sowore. This Aluta continua adventure is no longer relevant. It is kindergarten, a no-brainer, childish, senseless, etc.”
