The family of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu on Saturday denied that the IPOB leader has been dethroned.
Kingsley Kanunta Kanu, Kanu’s brother, said his brother’s wife remains “the only leader” of IPOB.
Reports had it that Sofia Chinyere Kalu had replaced Kanu as the Director of IPOB.
Mrs Kalu is allegedly the group’s Financial Secretary in the UK.
According to Ezeji Chukwuma, a separatist who manages IPOB and Radio Biafra Community Interest Companies (CIC) Registry in London, UK, Mrs Kalu is the new Director of IPOB worldwide.
But IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, had described the claims of Kanu’s removal as mere gossips.
Reacting, Kanunta urged those aggrieved to learn how to address issues without causing unnecessary problems.
In a tweet, he wrote: “#MaziNnamdiKanu is the ONLY leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB).
“We should learn to address issues and not to create one because we’ve lost men in this struggle, and we are still losing men.
“A butterfly can never call itself a bird. Biafra is a spirit.”
