The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra,IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has condemned those criticising Governor Nyesom Wike for demolishing hotels in the state over violation of coronavirus lockdown orders.
In a statement from the group’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, titled, “Wike Hotel Demolition & all the Furious Sanctimonious Humbug”, Kanu compared Wike’s action with that of Mohammed Bello and his predecessor, Kaduna State governor, Nasiru El-rufai as FCT minister, who, he said, demolished far more expensive buildings in Abuja belonging to Biafrans than that destroyed in Igweocha by the Rivers governor.
The IPOB leader queried why some of the ‘raging hypocritical voices of righteous indignation ‘who condemned the Rivers governor’s action were never heard during the demolitions carried out by the FCT minister and the Kaduna State governor.
He stated: “When El-Rufai the midget Islamic terror mastermind was busy terrorising and pauperising thousands of Biafran businessmen by demolishing their hotels, bars, restaurants and homes in Abuja, some of the raging hypocritical voices of righteous indignation we are hearing today were never heard.
“They never uttered a word, nor made a sound because they were and still are afraid of the murderous tendencies of their Fulani masters who are still demolishing legitimate Igbo businesses in Abuja.
“In fact, El-Rufai went on to become the governor of Kaduna State from where he openly admitted to paying his fellow killer Fulani terrorists that decimated the non-Fulani populations of Southern Kaduna. Today he is being touted as the next president of the #Zoo by the same people condemning Gov. Nyesom Wike.
“Current FCT Minister Bello Mohammed has simply carried on from where his predecessor El-Rufai stopped and has been busy demolishing far more expensive buildings in Abuja belonging to Biafrans than that destroyed in Igweocha by Wike.
“Does it mean I condone or excuse Wike’s administrative overreach? Of course NOT! I do not condone it because he went too far. But we must understand that operators of that very establishment risked the lives of thousands of people in Rivers State and beyond.
“Potentially, they could have brought infections and death to thousands of people, either through Coronavirus infected Alimajiri or by inadvertently providing accommodation to Fulani killers streaming into our towns and villages from the God forsaken North.
“Either way, the proprietors of the hotel placed thousands of lives at risk, whereas the Igbo businessmen and families whose livelihoods were taken away by El-Rufai and Bello Mohammed in Abuja committed no offence known to law.”
