All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Joe Igbokwe, has come down hard on Ifeanyi Ejiofor, counsel to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), accusing him of subtly promoting the “Nepal experience” in Nigeria.
Ejiofor, in a Facebook post on Saturday, had compared corruption in Nigeria to that of Nepal, where mass youth protests against bad leadership recently sparked a deadly revolution. He lamented that while Nepalese youths stood their ground, Nigerian youths appear subdued in the face of similar challenges.
The comparison, however, did not sit well with Igbokwe, who quickly took to his Facebook page to fire back. He accused Ejiofor of fueling unrest in the South East, linking him to the activities of IPOB, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), and unknown gunmen.
In his words: “The IPOB, UGM, ESN etc, Lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor is not done yet. Their bloody groups have left unimaginable wreckage, massive destruction and thousands of deaths in the South East. Having failed woefully in 10 years of bloodshed and massive destruction of homes including mine, this yeye lawyer is now stylishly and dangerously preaching Nepal experience in Nigeria.”
Igbokwe further warned Nigerians to be cautious about such narratives, urging citizens to act with restraint. “Let us be guided. Let us tread carefully, let us have common sense even though common sense is not common,” he added.
