BIAFRA! Peter Obi ATTACKED After Demanding Nnamdi Kanu’s Release, SEE What Ex- President Jonathan’s Aide Revealed That’s Worrisome
In a dramatic turn of events, Reno Omokri, a prominent socio- political activist, has accused Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, of displaying allegiance to the Biafran flag. Omokri’ s claims have generated significant debate within Nigeria’ s political landscape, especially following Obi’ s recent call for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The controversy began when Peter Obi, speaking at a press conference in Anambra State, urged the government led by President Bola Tinubu to release Kanu, along with other detained activists, including those involved in the EndSARS protests. Obi argued that freedom fighters and protesters possess the right to voice their grievances through peaceful demonstration, a stance he believes is crucial for the nation’ s democratic health.
In his address, Obi emphasized, ” Protesters and freedom fighters have the right to express their grievances through protest. ” This statement, while aimed at promoting dialogue and reconciliation, has been interpreted by critics as an endorsement of Kanu’ s controversial methods and secessionist agenda.
Reacting sharply, Reno Omokri took to social media, posting an image of Obi alongside the Biafran flag and accusing him of aligning with the secessionist movement. Omokri’ s message was unequivocal: ” The ‘ Release Nnamdi Kanu Now’ statement by Peter Obi is the obituary of Peter Obi’ s Presidential ambition. ” He criticized Obi for calling for the release of Kanu, who has been accused of inciting violence against Nigerian security forces.
Conversely, critics maintain that Obi’ s stance is reckless and could exacerbate regional tensions. They argue that by appearing to support Kanu, Obi undermines efforts to promote national unity and stability. Some have called for Obi to clarify his position on Biafra and explicitly condemn any form of violence or secessionist activity.
