Leader of the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has accused the Federal Government of using the media to disseminate false information about him and his agitation for Biafra.
The separatist made the allegation in an interview with Sahara Reporters on Monday.
According to him, the government is employing all means to make him lose the support of his people.
His words: “The media has an interest in maintaining one Nigeria with those that loot, steal and cheat in the political landscape. The more Nigeria continues, the more this criminal and rogues get fatter.
“All those spreading nonsense about Nnamdi Kanu know that Nnamdi Kanu is the only person capable of articulating a policy that can get people out of the mess that we are in.
“The government wants us to remain poor, they know what they are saying is false but they continue to say so.”
He also advised his followers and Nigerians at large to disregard any form of false information being shared by the government.
However, he stated that he is no position to determine how people consume information and challenged the people to question the government on main issues affecting the country.
He further said “People should be more concerned with the gross abuse of human rights being perpetrated by the DSS, Police, and Army.
“They should ask questions on Amnesty report, the mass grave in army barracks in Onitsha, bad roads despite the resources in the country and unemployed graduates.
“The government understands that Nnamdi Kanu means well for the people, downtrodden and those who are suffering, so they turn your mind around because they know you are not disciplined enough to understand that you need to stand your ground to demand what is yours. That is why it is very easy to twist the mind of a black mind.”
Nnamdi emphasised on the fact that nothing can make IPOB reverse its decision from breaking away from Nigeria.
“There is absolutely nothing anybody can do. We have crossed the point of no return and there is nothing anybody can do, if I am alive or dead wherever I may be, Biafra will come.
“If I die, it will be better because it will even make it come quicker,” he boasted.
