The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has launched a blistering attack on Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, describing him as “a danger to Igbo survival” and accusing him of betrayal, incitement, and endangering the lives of Igbo youths.
In a fiery press release issued on Thursday, IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, condemned a recent comment allegedly made by Soludo during a meeting with Anambra citizens in the United States.
Soludo reportedly claimed that “99.99 percent of crimes, including kidnappings,” in Anambra State were committed by Igbo people — not by Fulani or any other group, as is widely believed.
“Soludo has opened the gates of hell with his treacherous and unconscionable remarks,” the statement read, adding “He has handed the enemies of Ndigbo a poisoned weapon laced with blood.”
IPOB said the governor’s comments have emboldened “Fulani-sponsored terror militias” and security operatives to target innocent Igbo youths across the South-East.
The group, which remains loyal to its detained leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, likened Soludo to Ukpabi Asika, describing him as “a modern-day saboteur” whose political ambitions have blinded him to the suffering of his people.
“Soludo is not just misguided; he is a clear and present danger to the survival of the Igbo race. No sane Igbo man would casually indict his own people to please outsiders.”
IPOB also accused the governor of abandoning his earlier calls for Nnamdi Kanu’s release, alleging that he has now aligned himself with “Fulani masters” in Abuja to sabotage ongoing efforts to secure Kanu’s freedom.
In a stern warning, the group said Soludo would be held “morally, politically, and historically” accountable for any violence or bloodshed resulting from what it described as his “loose tongue.”
“He should resign and seek psychiatric help,” IPOB declared.
“Let the world know — the real threat to Ndigbo is not just from outside. It is from collaborators within.”
The statement called for vigilance, urging Igbo to “shine your eyes” and reject leaders who “wear agbadas but carry betrayal in their hearts.”
