THE Indigenous People of Biafra has described the founder of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, Chief Ralph Uwazurike, as a fly and an attention-seeker.

The group’s publicist, Emma Powerful, stated this in a statement made available to our correspondent in Awka, the Anambra State capital, on Thursday.

Debunking the allegation that IPOB was planning an attack on the MASSOB leader as fallacious, IPOB said it had no time for such “a fly at a time like this”.

The group’s statement read in part, “The attention of the global movement of IPOB has been drawn to the ranting, and fallacious statement credited to Ralph Uwazuruike and his infamous BIM/MASSOB group.

“Accusing IPOB of planning to attack Uwazuruike is a barefaced lie from the pit of hell. IPOB cannot condescend so low as to attacking him because we have no issues with him.

“IPOB under the command and leadership of our great leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has no plans whatsoever to attack Uwazurike or anybody.

“Ralph Uwazuruike should understand that IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is too busy and preoccupied with the Biafra project to be looking for a fly like him.”
