2023 Presidency: How emergence of Peter Obi, Tinubu calmed IPOB activities, abated Oduduwa agitation – Gumi

IPOB, Oduduwa and Gumi

Controversial Islamic cleric Ahmad Gumi said the emergence of Peter Obi and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as Labour Party and All Progressive Congress presidential candidates for the 2023 election has calmed the Indigenous People of Biafra and decreased agitation for Oduduwa Republic.

Gumi claimed Obi’s emergence has brought relative peace to the South-East.

The cleric disclosed this in a statement posted on his Facebook page.

While linking the current security crisis in the country to lack of representation, he said IPOB’s support for Obi has indicated that the Biafra agitation is political, and the Oduduwa agitation has also slowed down following the hope that Tinubu would emerge president.

The statement reads partly, “The IPOB rhetoric and loud voice of Biafra agitations have muffled out with the emergence of Peter Obi as the Labor Party presidential candidate. To them, Igbos have a platform. It’s clear now that the entire IPOB outcry was a political gimmick to get power.

“The Oduduwa clamours have abated also since Tinubu has clinched the APC ticket never to resurface again until probably if he didn’t win the race.

“Northern Ultra conservatives too have no mouth to speak of marginalization or suppression of representation, the NNPP kwankwaso has satisfied that segment of the society. No more claims of candidate suppression and manipulation.”

Gumi, however, said the major problem now is whether the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, “will conduct free, fair, and transparent elections” in 2023.
