Okorocha and his likes will be there watching IPOB actualise Biafra freedom and independence from the oppressive Nigeria state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis recent ranting against IPOB will lead him to destruction. IPOB has never seen him as a threat to the liberation of Biafra as being championed by the group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt only showed that he is speaking the minds of his masters in Abuja who advised him to siphon Imo State funds with his family especially his son in-law, Uche Nwosu.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The group also alleged that Okorocha created the \u201ccriminal gangs\u201d in order to counter the \u201ccriminal gangs\u201d of the current Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, so that his properties will not be seized.<\/p>\n<p>It, therefore, challenged Okorocha to ask the Federal Government to conduct a referendum on Biafra if they want to test popularity.<\/p>\n<p>It said the Federal Government will not get a \u201cno\u201d vote in the referendum as according to it, all the South-East people want independence from Nigeria and no amount of intimidation can stop this.<\/p>\n<p>The statement read in part, \u201cIf Okorocha and his co-traitors in Biafra land want any recognition in Biafra, let them tell their Fulani masters to fix a date for Biafra referendum and see if they can get one per cent of \u2018no vote\u2019 in the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigerians must be mindful of Rochas Okorocha and co-travellers because they are behind the numerous attacks, killings, and abductions going on in Imo State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know how many times they tried everything possible to create these groups killing innocent citizens in Imo state because of Hope Uzodinma\u2019s political decisions to ensure that he collected all the properties he corruptly acquired using public funds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe criminal activities of Okorocha have exposed him to the world. Okorocha and his group have killed a lot of people in Imo State thinking he is fighting Uzodinma and his own criminal gang.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth politicians have destroyed Imo State using their recruited hoodlums. The innocent citizens are at the mercy of their atrocities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkorocha must stop thinking that he can use IPOB for his devilish political move. He had better keep quiet instead of trying to use IPOB for political gains.We cannot allow him to use IPOB\u2019s name to shine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is digging his political grave by trying to use IPOB for political gains. We are not interested in Nigeria politics. Our mandate is the restoration of Biafra, and we cannot be distracted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo amount of intimidation can stop this.
