Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has expressed strong disapproval of the recent comments made by a Nigerian woman living in Canada, identified as Amaka Sunnberger. Sunnberger, in a controversial TikTok video, allegedly called for violence and the poisoning of Yoruba and Edo people, sparking widespread outrage.

In response, Obi took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to denounce the statements, emphasizing the importance of national unity.

He stressed that tribalism and hatred should not be allowed to sow division among Nigerians, especially at a time when the country is facing significant challenges that require collective action.

Obi wrote, “I firmly condemn the hateful remarks and actions allegedly made by a Nigerian woman in Canada against fellow Nigerians from different ethnic backgrounds. Comments that foster division have no place in our society.”

He went on to urge Nigerians to focus on common issues rather than allowing themselves to be divided along ethnic lines.

“As Nigerians, we must come together to tackle our shared problems. Let’s not allow hatred or tribalism to create unnecessary rifts among us,” he stated.

The former presidential candidate reiterated his long-standing position against tribal, religious, and political division in the country.

“I have always stood against the polarization of Nigeria, whether it’s through tribalism, religious sentiments, or political partisanship,” he said.

Obi further questioned the usefulness of such divisive rhetoric, asking what benefits it brings to the nation.

“What do we, as a people, gain from tribal or religious discrimination? Does it help solve our pressing health and education challenges? Does it lift our people out of poverty? Does it lower the prices of basic commodities like bread, rice, garri, or yam?” he asked, calling for introspection on how Nigerians approach these sensitive issues.

His remarks serve as a reminder that in times of difficulty, unity and understanding are critical to addressing the challenges that Nigeria faces, rather than allowing ethnic and religious differences to tear the nation apart.

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have urged their members to stay focused on their mission to achieve an independent Biafran state and remain calm amidst the arrest of Simon Ekpa, who describes himself as the Prime Minister of Biafra in Exile.

In a strong condemnation of Ekpa’s actions, IPOB emphasized that every crime has its consequences.

Emma Powerful, the group’s spokesperson, clarified that Simon Ekpa is not, and has never been, a member of IPOB. He accused Ekpa of using violence to destabilize the South-East region since 2021.

In a detailed statement, Powerful said, “Simon Ekpa has no affiliation with the global IPOB family or its leadership.

Despite false narratives claiming otherwise, he has never been registered as a member in Finland or any other part of the world.”

Powerful reiterated that IPOB, under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu, has consistently pursued a peaceful path toward achieving Biafra’s independence.

“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu founded IPOB as a non-violent movement dedicated to self-determination through a United Nations-supervised referendum.

Despite repeated provocations and violent crackdowns by the Nigerian government, we have remained steadfast in our peaceful approach for over two decades,” he explained.

Ekpa, however, has been accused of exploiting the Biafran cause for personal gain.

“Many innocent Biafrans, driven by their passion for the Biafran struggle, initially believed in Simon Ekpa’s rhetoric.

Unfortunately, they later realized he was a destructive force, funded to undermine IPOB’s efforts.

He has recruited violent criminals under the guise of fighting for Biafra and formed the so-called Biafra Liberation Army, which has carried out atrocities in the Eastern region,” Powerful added.

Ekpa, who leads the self-proclaimed Biafra Government in Exile (BGIE), has been linked to violent activities that have harmed civilians.

Powerful accused both the Nigerian and Finnish governments of protecting Ekpa from accountability for his alleged crimes. Despite this, IPOB expressed confidence that justice would prevail.

The statement ended with a call for unity and focus: “We urge all IPOB members, Biafrans, and supporters of our cause to remain calm.

Our objective remains the same—to restore Biafra’s sovereignty through peaceful means.

No amount of sabotage can deter us from this goal.”
