The cleric in charge of the Catholic Institute of West Africa, CIWA,
in Port Harcourt, Rev Fr. Pius KII has described the leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu as a “persona non grata”
unfit to lead the Igbo nation.
Rev Fr Pius predicated his claim on the fact that Kanu came from nowhere to lure young people into a senseless agitation.
Addressing his members on Sunday, the Priest stressed that nobody
knows Kanu’s address in the United Kingdom, UK, who he worked for or who
he did business with in UK. Describing the Biafra agitation as unnecessary, the priest urged agitators to be wary of their actions.
He said,
“Before 2013, I have never heard of this boy called Nnamdi
Kanu. Nobody knows his address in UK. Nobody knows where he worody ks.
Nobknows the business he does.“Nobody knows his qualifications. Such persona non grata who has no antecedent and pedigree cannot represent or lead Igbos.
“He is not qualified to speak for the Igbos. He came from nowhere and
lured pure-water sellers, mechanics, bus-conductors, Ikoku spare-parts
traders, bricklayers, commercial bus and taxi drivers, hawkers, GSM
repairers and other petty traders and artisans out of their source of
livelihood into senseless activity called ‘Biafra Agitation’.
“Now, lives had been lost. Some people have been killed. What have they now gained?!
“Those who are calling for crisis, fanning the embers of war with the
belief that USA, UK and UN will come to their rescue/support should go
and ask Libya, Sudan, Eritrea, Rwanda etc what UN did for them in their
times of crises?”
