The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has dismissed claims that Senator Rochas Okorocha gave the separatist group N500 million.
Kanu dismissed the claim in a statement issued by IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful on Sunday, stressing that both Uzodinma and Okorocha can not bankroll the group.
The IPOB leader insisted that the group has never received any cash donation or financial assistance from the former Imo state governor.
There are reports that the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma had accused Okorocha of donating the huge sum to the separatist group.
“The attention of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the global command of great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been drawn to the ridiculous claims by the Supreme Court Administrator of Imo State, Hopeless Uzodima, that former Governor of the state and his fellow traitor, Rochas Okorocha gave N500 million to IPOB.
“We, therefore, wish to clarify that we never received any financial payment, donation or gift from Okorocha or any Efulefu like him. We have nothing to do with traitors like Okorocha and Uzodima.
“The truth remains that both Okorocha and Uzodima cannot bankroll IPOB. Frankly speaking they do not have the financial clout to bankroll the largest mass movement in the world. We don’t need their stolen, ill gotten, blood-stained money.
“They better fight their battle and leave IPOB out of their mess. None of them is good enough to receive our attention,” the statement reads.
