The cabal was instrumental to the emergence of Obiozor as Ohaneze National President according to our findings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIPOB closely monitored the jamboree in the name of an election that produced Chief Obiozor as the new Ohanaeze helmsman, critically analysed the antecedents of those behind his emergence and concluded that we cannot in all honesty work with him because we are not ideologically compatible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChief Obiozor may not be entirely evil, but those behind him are unrepentant enemies of Biafra. Naturally, he can only do the bidding of his sponsors, thus sacrificing Igbo interest. \u201cWe raised the alarm then but nobody listened to us, so IPOB cannot work with a man we know will be remote-controlled. \u201cWe also wish to clarify that we cannot work with the current bunch of Igbo sellouts clamoring for a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction in 2023 because we know their real motives. \u201cThey are only after their personal gains going by their antecedents.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, yesterday, said it will not recognize Chief George Obiozor as President- General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, claiming he was imposed on Ndigbo.
