TENSION Hits Igboland As IPOB Exposes Igbo Governor Who Allegedly Doesn’t Want Tinubu To Release Nnamdi Kanu
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has launched a scathing attack on Anambra State Governor, Charles Chukwuma Soludo, accusing him of opposing the release of their detained leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
The allegations, shared on social media platform X and cited by LATEST_NEWS Blog, have sparked fresh controversy over Soludo’ s stance on the ongoing agitation in the South- East.
IPOB’ s Allegations
In their statement, IPOB alleged that Governor Soludo’ s recent comments on insecurity in the region were a calculated attempt to discredit the pro- Biafra group and justify continued detention of their leader. They claimed Soludo was working against Kanu’ s release despite publicly calling for it in the past.
” Many people will read Soludo’ s statement and think he supports Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’ s release, but he is only using words to deceive our people, ” the statement read. IPOB accused Soludo of being a political pawn for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), alleging that his rise within the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) was orchestrated by the APC under former Anambra Governor Willie Obiano.
The group further alleged that Soludo’ s criticism of the current state of the Biafra agitation was part of a wider agenda to undermine their cause. ” Soludo knows that Simon Ekpa is not an IPOB member but a tool used by enemies to discredit IPOB. Yet, he uses this to attack our movement, ” IPOB said.
Soludo’ s Comments On Insecurity
Governor Soludo, during a recent press briefing, condemned the escalating insecurity in the South- East, blaming organised criminal gangs for the violence. He stated that some groups operating under the guise of Biafra liberation had turned to criminal activities, such as kidnapping and extortion, for financial gain.
” The so- called agitators have transformed into organised criminal gangs, ” Soludo said. ” They hide in forests, kidnapping innocent citizens for ransom, and justify their atrocities under the pretext of Biafra. Let us be clear— this has nothing to do with any liberation movement. ”
Soludo acknowledged that IPOB had distanced itself from such criminal activities but expressed doubt that Nnamdi Kanu’ s release would resolve the region’ s insecurity. ” Even if Kanu is released today, I’ m not sure these criminals would listen to him because their motivation is now wealth, not liberation, ” he stated.
IPOB’ s Response
IPOB rejected Soludo’ s assertions, accusing him of sending a message to the federal government to ensure Kanu’ s continued detention. They argued that Kanu’ s release would still serve a purpose in combating insecurity, even if some criminal elements ignored his directives.

” All we need is for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to speak against these criminals, ” the group said. ” His words would expose these people as enemies of our people. Soludo’ s attempt to undermine this is a betrayal. ”
The pro- Biafra group also questioned Soludo’ s motives, suggesting he was deliberately downplaying Kanu’ s influence to align with federal government interests.
