Former IPOB leader Reno Omokri has called on Igbos to formalize the group.
If IPOB became a political party, the activist claimed, Nigerians would support them.
Omokri said, “Play your cards well and Nnamdi Kanu will be liberated. If IPOB were to renounce violence and transform into a political party like the Irish Republican Army did to become Sinn Féin, they might take democratic control of the Southeast, transform it into a utopia, and have other Nigerians vote for IPOB party Senators, Governors, and President. Who wouldn’t want a better option?
There is more proof of people’s affection for the Ndi’Igbo than there is of their animosity. Even when other Nigerians buy from you, employ you, rent properties to you, and beat and molest you as they enforce a sit-at-home order, you’re letting them fool you into thinking that they detest you
Omokri warned the Igbos not to tune into Radio Biafra, emphasizing the station’s role as a propaganda outlet.
