Treasury looters sponsoring IPOB, FG alleges

The Federal Government has said the Indigenous People of Biafra
is being sponsored by certain disgruntled elements to sabotage the
Buhari administration, under the guise of fighting for the rights
of the people of the South-East.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
made the allegation on behalf of the government on Sunday.

He said that the outlawed organisation was not set up to fight
for anyone, but to destabilise the country.

He said, ”Nigerians must understand that IPOB was not set up to
fight for the right of anyone or group, but as a tool to
destabilize the nation, divert attention from the efforts of the
Buhari administration and obliterate the laudable achievements of
the Government.

”IPOB is being sponsored by those I will call the Coalition of
the politically disgruntled and the treasury looters. They believe
that by sponsoring this group to destabilize the country and
trigger chaos, they will realize their ambition of escaping justice
and then be free to dip their hands into the nation’s treasury
again.”
