The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said that the “enemies” planted in its group were responsible for comparing Nnamdi Kanu to Jesus Christ.
Chukwudi Leo, a Biafra supporter had on Sunday said that Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), is “bigger than Jesus”.
In a Facebook post, Leo said the leader of the secessionist group must be accepted by everyone as the “messiah” and “saviour” before they can inherit the kingdom of heaven.
However, in a counter-reactory statement on Sunday, Emma Powerful, spokesperson of IPOB, claimed that the Department of State Services (DSS) and unnamed politicians were behind a plot to defame Kanu.
Powerful said Kanu is a Christian and will never challenge the authority of God.
“It is dangerous comparing him with God Almighty or Jesus Christ. It is the work of enemies planted within us by DSS and some politicians. Those involved in this ridiculous scandal and deformation of character will fail without delay and God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama must deal with them,” the statement read in part.
“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the IPOB leader in his life never challenged the authority of God Almighty who created Heaven and earth or Jesus Christ the son of God even the spirit.
“Nnamdi Kanu is a Christian and cannot blaspheme God Almighty and his son Jesus Christ, those using his name as saviour, messiah and Jesus are misinformed and uneducated because he never asked them to do so.”
