The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU has condemned the continuous illegal detention of Mazi Michael Obieze who was abducted in Aba, Abia State by the DSS since May 2022 for allegedly supporting the Biafra self-determination movement. In a statement made available to this medium by it's spokesperson Emma Powerful, said that "Mazi Micheal Obieze is not a  member of IPOB but only a sympathiser and supporter of the struggle for the restoration of Biafra. We wondered why Nigeria DSS detained him in their secret cell for being sympathetic to Biafra agitation for over a year." He said IPOB is calling on the free world and their leaders to prevail on the Nigeria government and its secret police to release all Biafrans in their custody or take them to court. But if they have murdered them in their custody, they should hand over their lifeless bodies to the families or IPOB family members for proper burial.  "Keeping these

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by the Supreme leader Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU has debunked the fallacious statement credited to the Army Chief of Staff that Simon Ekpa is the leader of IPOB.  They said that the Nigeria Army Chief is much aware that IPOB has disassociated herselves from criminal activities of Simon Ekpa and his autobandit gangs. Nigeria Army, DSS, Police and Simon Ekpa are all in collusion to blackmail Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. IPOB and ESN have no other leader except our supreme leader, Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU, the statement from Emma Powerful stressed. Recall, that the Nigeria Army's latest media outburst that Simon Ekpa is an IPOB leader is nothing other than blackmail towards the upcoming judgment of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's Supreme Court case. Moreso, the linking of Simon Ekpa to IPOB leadership and his recent tweet  where he threatened to start violent evacuation of Nigeria military in the South East is part of their collective plans

The former Rivers State governor vowed that having worked for the emergence of Tinubu as president, and having been made minister of the FCT, nothing would make him contest against his principal in 2027. The minister who spoke on a live television programme in Abuja yesterday also said good character should never be compromised on the altar of politics. Wike reiterated his commitment to the success of the Tinubu administration, even as he explained that the quest for justice was the key reason he and the G5 group of governors supported the presidential ambition of Tinubu. He stated: “Tinubu made me the FCT minister and I won’t allow anybody to crumble our political structure. No! Tinubu made me minister; people do not understand. I have character. “What will happen in 2027? I stood and

By C. Don Adinuba   In his famous study of leadership, Jim Collins, regarded as one of the most engaging leadership scholars across the globe, states in his book entitled Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap and Others Don’t, that there are otherwise excellent leaders who have the weakness of not wanting their successors to do very well. They relish being described as indispensable, even after they have left office. You can never hear them say anything positive about their predecessors or successors. But the best and most effective leaders, according to Collins, are those who acknowledge the contributions of others and are professionally competent as well as humble. “I am a giant because I am standing on the shoulders of other persons”, Nelson Mandela, a global hero, used to declare, as documented by his biographer, Martin Meredith, the resourceful historian, and journalist.   The Anambra State government and people demonstrated what Collins calls Level Five lead
