“I’m Not Working With Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB To Destabilize Nigeria” – Prof. Akintoye

Prof. Banji Akintoye, leader of Ilana Omo Oodua, has denied working with the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to destabilize Nigeria.

The statement read; “The attention of Ilana Omo Oodua has been drawn to postcards being circulated online titled, ‘Roma Mega Rally; Oodua and Biafra in Italy’ with the picture of the leader of Ilana Omo Oodua, Prof Banji Akintoye and that of Chief Sunday Igboho placed side by side with the picture of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, creating the false impression that Prof Banji Akintoye and the Yoruba Organisations aggregating under the Ilana Omo Oodua banner are in some kind of working relationship with Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Indigenous People of Biafra.”

“The general public is hereby informed that neither Prof Banji Akintoye nor Ilana Omo Oodua is in any form of working relationship with Nnamdi Kanu or IPOB and that the use of the picture of Prof Banji Akintoye on the said postcard advertising the Roma Italy Mega Rally was unauthorised.”

“It is as well an embarrassment to both Prof Akintoye and the Ilana Omo Oodua organisation.”

“For the avoidance of doubt, the organisation in the East of Nigeria with which Illana Omo Oodua is collaborating under the aegis of Nigerian Indigenous Nationalities Alliance for Self-Determination (NINAS) is the Lower Niger Congress.”

“Members of the public should please disregard this misleading postcard and any such false impression in the future.”
