The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has expressed delight over the recent comment made by Garba Shehu, former spokesperson of former President Muhammadu Buhari, which the group said has vindicated its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who was pilloried for revealing the truth about the long absence of the erstwhile president from the country.
Spokesperson of the group, Emma Powerful in a statement he released to journalists said: “IPOB under the leadership of our incorruptible and prophetically-gifted leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, notes with righteous vindication the stunning admission by Garba Shehu, former spokesman to the former President Muhammadu Buhari, that the now-infamous “villa rat invasion” story was a calculated lie to cover up Buhari’s prolonged illness and absence from governance.
“Let the world take note: what Mazi Nnamdi Kanu said years ago on Radio Biafra that Muhammadu Buhari was gravely ill and incapable of leading Nigeria, and that Aso Rock was enmeshed in a web of lies and deception has now been confirmed by one of the principal architects of that deception himself.
“The same Garba Shehu who accused our leader of “fake news” and “hate speech” has now confessed, with no shame, that they orchestrated a national charade to fool over 200 million people. What greater treason can be committed than lying to an entire nation about the health and whereabouts of its so-called president?
“This disgraceful confirmation vindicates everything Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has ever said about the fraudulent and deceptive nature of the Nigerian state. He told the truth and was persecuted for it. He warned Nigerians that their president was missing in action, that shadowy forces had hijacked the machinery of government, and that the people were being ruled by deception.
“Instead of investigating the truth, the Nigerian media and political elite mocked him. They ridiculed his divine insight. They arrested him. They tortured him. They abducted and renditioned him. But they could not bury the truth.
“Garba Shehu’s cowardly confession is not an act of courage; it is a delayed admission born of guilt and irrelevance. Where was this honesty when the Nigerian people needed it? Where was this “truth” when IPOB and our leader were being vilified, jailed, and labelled terrorists for speaking it?
“If this level of deliberate misinformation had happened in any sane society, those responsible would be in jail for subverting the Constitution, undermining national security, and deceiving the electorate. But Nigeria rewards mediocrity, protects liars, and punishes truth-tellers.
“Let it be clearly stated once again: Mazi Nnamdi Kanu does not lie. He does not speculate. He speaks only divine truth, and every word he has ever uttered is manifesting before your eyes.
“From the exposure of Buhari’s health fraud, to the Fulani expansionist agenda, to the illegality of his abduction and extraordinary rendition time continues to prove Mazi Nnamdi Kanu right.
“Those who still doubt the divine calling of our leader should watch as every falsehood told against him crumbles one after the other. The truth is like the rising sun it cannot be suppressed. Today Garba Shehu has confessed. Tomorrow others will follow. Aso Rock is a house built on lies, and the foundation is shaking.
“To the Nigerian people, we say: your hatred for truth, your addiction to lies, and your blind loyalty to your oppressors are the reasons you remain enslaved. IPOB is not your enemy, your enemy is your wilful ignorance and the corrupt system you defend.
“To the international community, we urge you to stop enabling tyranny in Nigeria. You now have confirmation from the mouth of the regime’s own spokesperson that the Nigerian people were lied to on a grand scale. If this does not concern you, then you are complicit.
“In the words of our leader: “we are without fear before our enemies” and “in the end, we always win.”
