The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has cursed a former presidential aide, Reuben Abati over an alleged comment he made on the sponsorship of the group activities.
Abati allegedly said that a drug dealer arrested in Imo state was responsible for sponsoring IPOB’s activities.
Debunking the comment, IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful accused Abati of having unwarranted hatred towards the Igbo people.
“The attention of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has been drawn to the stupid and fallacious assertion credited to Reuben Abati, that a certain drug peddler who was caught by security agents in Imo State was IPOB fundraiser.
“We have tried to ignore pockets of unwarranted attacks by Reuben Abati against IPOB and our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, but we will no longer tolerate these insults.”
“In case Abati and his likes do not know, IPOB is a global family and not a terror organization that receives illicit funds. IPOB is legitimately funded by its teeming members most of whom are very enterprising and resourceful sons and daughters of Biafra in the Diaspora.
“IPOB maintains its presence in over 100 countries of the world and gets its funding from the financial contributions and donations by members. It doesn’t need drug money for funding.
“No single individual or drug dealer is sponsoring IPOB or the Biafra project. Biafra is a divine mandate which Chukwu Okike Abiama designed and asked Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB members to actualise.
“Ruben Abati linking IPOB with a drug dealer is a big insult to the great people of Biafra.
“Reuben Abati is interfering into IPOB matter much and it must bring him down because IPOB will ridicule him anytime soon. Reuben Abati must leave IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu alone and face his business or he is going to meet his waterloo because God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama is going to destroy him and his evil, a man who committed such atrocities against humanity like Reuben Abati.
“His hatred against Igbo people cannot change God’s wishes for Igbos. Reuben Abati with his family cannot match a single-family in Igbo land, he should stop envy and jealousy against those he knows are bigger than him and his family. The God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama blessed IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu; his hatred cannot change anything in our lives.

“Reuben Abati should be ashamed of himself because his derogatory statements against the great IPOB family cannot bring IPOB down and God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama is behind us to deliver Africa and particularly Biafrans.
“We recall that in 2017 he was rejoicing and jubilating over the fate of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu after the Nigerian Army invaded his Afaraukwu (home). He should face his business and leave IPOB and Biafra’s struggle alone. Stop castigating IPOB, Reuben Abati.
“Reuben Abati was writing junk about IPOB and its decision on radio Biafra broadcaster, what is your business over IPOB decisions, are you a Biafran or Igbo man? Stay off, devil, before God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama destroys you,” the statement said.
