A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, has cautioned activist and politician Omoyele Sowore against involving himself in the campaign for the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.
Igbokwe, in a post shared on his Facebook page titled “Final Warning to Omoyele Sowore,” described Kanu as a “butcher” responsible for widespread killings in the Southeast.
He alleged that Kanu’s followers turned the region into a killing field, leaving behind years of destruction and bloodshed.
He wrote: “Omoyele Sowore says he is marching to Aso Rock to protest against the detention of the Butcher of South East called Nnamdi Kanu. I have told him as a friend to run 440. I have alerted his junior brother Barr Allen Sowore to tell Omoyele to run away from Nnamdi Kanu’s matter because the matter is bigger than him.
“I have advised him as a friend but he will not listen. Nnamdi Kanu shed thousands of blood in the SE in 10 years. Nnamdi Kanu’s men turned SE into a killing field, a place of anything goes, the land of Patmos, Thomas Hobbes State of Nature where life is nasty, brutish and short. Nnamdi Kanu decimated SE.”
The APC stalwart further berated Kanu, describing his agitation as “a useless business enterprise” that pushed the Igbo nation decades backward.
He added: “We kept quiet and idiots and vagabonds ruined the land of the rising sun. We went to sleep and children led by the empty head called Nnamdi Kanu dragged Igbo Nation into a terrible mess that will take us years to clear the Augean Stable.”
Igbokwe also advised Sowore to stay away from issues concerning the Southeast, warning that he might not understand the depth of damage caused by Kanu’s movement.
