Buoyed by the apparent success of the invitation of the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, to the European Union summit, Nnamdi Kanu has claimed he has been invited to lead a delegation to the United Nations office in Geneva, Switzerland, Tuesday.
In a statement by the group spokesperson, Emma Powerful, he said that even though the invitation was given to their leader, details of the movement will be kept under wraps because of government penchant to work against their activities.
Many has dismissed this as part of the normal IPOB propaganda.
“Going by the relentless engagement of the international community by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, we the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) consider it imperative to inform the great people of Biafra, friends of Biafra and lovers of freedom that in keeping with the promise of our leader during his last outing at the EU, he will be leading a delegation to the UN office in Geneva Switzerland on Tuesday 18th September 2019″, the statement said.
“As usual details of these meetings will not be subject to public disclosure as we are well aware of the lengths the corrupt, fraudulent and election stealing cabal will go to hamstring and frustrate our efforts.
“Not many people know that Nigerian Ambassador to the EU personally rang Seb Dance the Member of European Parliament that invited our leader to the EU, to try bullying him into cancelling the event.”
“Anytime we make public our critical diplomatic engagements, the corrupt Nigerian Government has used their considerable wealth and clout of sovereignty to cajole, buy-off, bribe, intimidate and threaten their business interests in Africa.
“Nigeria it must be said, sent two female diplomats from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to observe our leader’s presentation at the European Parliament.
“Our leader even walked across to these diplomats after the event to thank them for coming.
“Any Nigerian or agent of Nigeria that wants to know the outcome of the Brussels outing should ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, after all two of their diplomats were there to hear our leader speak.
The presence of Nigerian diplomats at Brussels could not be independently confirmed.
