Peter Obi, Presidential candidate of The Labour Party, LP, has brushed off allegations that the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, is a terrorist group.
In an interview with Channels Television, Obi stated that IPOB members live around him and do not pose a threat to the peace and stability of the nation.
He said, “The only thing I disagree with is naming IPOB terrorist; they are not terrorists. Those who took the decision may have information that I don’t have.
“I meet and live with them; in fact, I usually see people gathering, and I have never had the sense of threat or molestation from them, even when they gather,” he said.
Obi maintained that IPOB members are not terrorists.
Recall that the Nigerian government had labeled the IPOB as a terrorist group following the movement for the actualization of Biafra.
Meanwhile, the Federal High Court sitting in Umuahia, Abia State, has fixed October 27 for judgment in the suit filed by the Leader of the IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu against the Federal Government.
Kanu in the suit filed on his behalf by his Special Counsel, Mr Aloy Ejimakor, is challenging his extraordinary rendition from Kenya by the agents of the Federal Government.
