Though Ndigbo are highly marginalized and ostracized politically and economically, we have built survival resilience through decades of persecution in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Ndigbo had taken part in the protest, the Federal Government would have sent troops to destroy Igbo land and kill many Igbo civilians. IPOB has the interest and safety of our people at heart even as we continue to strategize on Biafra\u2019s freedom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe advise Ndigbo to jettison the idea of some people using the name of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in advancing their selfish political interest. Some of the social media talks about visiting Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in detention and working for his release are just political rhetoric.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIPOB has nothing to do with many of them until Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is out of the illegal detention in DSS headquarters in Abuja.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose using the suffering of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to advance their political interest should desist, otherwise IPOB will call you out publicly and also frustrate your political interest in the South-East.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stop using Nnamdi Kanu\u2019s detention for selfish political gain \u2013 IPOB warns Igbo politicians<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Monday warned Igbo politicians against using the detention of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":46754,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7015,4326,15,1590],"tags":[8,3758,190,3878,7016,12,1592,17914,180,1595,285,2003,18021,520,16277,725],"class_list":["post-46753","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-igbo","category-ipob","category-news","category-nnamdi-kanu","tag-akwa-ibom","tag-detention","tag-for","tag-gain","tag-igbo","tag-ipob","tag-kanu","tag-kanus","tag-news","tag-nnamdi","tag-political","tag-politicians","tag-selfish","tag-stop","tag-using","tag-warns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46753","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46753"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46753\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46754"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46753"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46753"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nigerdeltanews.ng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46753"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
