Leader of IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has advised his followers to remain focused. He also reiterated his confidence in his Lead Lawyer, Barr. Ejiofor and his legal team.
This was contained in a release made available to the press moments after the routine visit of the legal team to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
โUPDATE ON OUR ROUTINE VISIT TO OUR INDEFATIGABLE CLIENT โ ONYENDU MAZI NNAMDI KANU โ AT THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE SECURITY (DSS) ABUJA.
Consistent with the subsisting order of court, we, today, paid our routine visit on Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. We availed ourselves of the opportunity afforded by the visit to brief Onyendu on a number of issues.
Firstly, we acquainted him on our level of preparedness for the preliminary skirmishes that will take place in court in the criminal charge preferred against him. As you all know, proceedings in the criminal charge will resume on the 16th instant.
Secondly, we briefed him on the smear campaign orchestrated against my good self by traitors and desperate enemies of the struggle, aimed at causing disharmony within the fold and needlessly generating ill feelings
Onyendu was thoroughly ashamed by the utter infantile mendacity inherent in the smear campaign and the unimpressive, unintelligent, wobbling, and poorly thought out strategy that informed the whole endeavour. He advised that I should quickly ignore and consign the half hearted attempt of such despicable lot to the garbage bin and resist every attempt by them to distract me.
He was not at all rattled or perturbed by the news of the smear campaign but rather re-emphasised the unshaken trust and confidence he has always reposed in me.
He observed that any true son or daughter of Igbo land that opts to take the pleasure of making derogatory
disparaging publications against my good self or any of his other lawyers is guilty of cheap blackmail and must be pitied for condescending to an abysmal level. Such a person must be seen, not only as a contemptuous slave, but also as an irredeemable traitor to the entire Igbo race.
Further, Onyendu warned that he will not tolerate any form of distraction, division or in-fighting in his peaceful movement. He commended the dedicated officials at the helm of affairs of the movement for living up to expectation.
Onyendu also commended all his law abiding followers and urges them to remain focused and steadfast in all they do. He expresses the hope that very soon victory will be achieved.
I am profoundly grateful to UMUCHINEKE for always standing by me and the entire legal team. Be assured that nothing on the face of this earth will make me falter. You can never be disappointed UMUCHINEKE.
We shall continue to keep you posted and regularly provide you with necessary information in relation to the case at hand or other intervening events.
Thank you all and remain hugely blessed UMUCHINEKE.
Signed:
Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Esq.
