IPOB won’t handover ESN to govs – Nnamdi Kanu replies Uwazuruike

 

Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Wednesday berated Ralph Uwazuruike, founder of the Biafra Independence Movement, BIM, for asking that the Eastern Security Network, ESN, be handed over to the Southeast governors.

Kanu challenged Uwazuruike to create his own security outfit and hand it over to the governors.

Kanu stated this in a statement signed by the spokesman of IPOB, Emma Powerful.

The statement reads: “The attention of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has been drawn to the shameful statement credited to the hotelier and hostel builder in our society who has been parading himself as the leader of a shambless and disgraceful group called MASSOB /BIM, Chief Ralpheal Elebeanya Uwazuruike, that God-ordained Eastern Security Network, ESN, security outfit established by our liberator Mazi Nnamdi Kanu should be handed over to South East Governors to manage.

“How on earth did Uwazuruike think that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu should handover the heavenly ordained ESN to the slaves installed by the Caliphate in different Government Houses in Biafraland? His intention of making such stupid suggestion is to turn ESN into another Eastern region version of the heavily politicized and now toothless security outfit formed in other regions. IPOB cannot fall for their trap!

“Uwazuruike is not ashamed of himself by trying to use ESN to cover his atrocities in Biafraland. Uwazuruike was the man who boasted that he had more boys than Mazi Nnamdi Kanu that should he unleash his boys no place would contain them.

“We, therefore, challenge Uwazuruike to form his own security outfit and hand over to the South East and South-South governors. IPOB and its leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu are capable of managing ESN to pursue its mandate.”

Trump a failed leader, worst President in US – Arnold Schwarzenegger

 

Hollywood star and former Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger has described President Donald Trump as the worst President ever in US history.

Arnold said this in a video shared on Sunday on his Instagram page while comparing the riot at the US Capitol which Trump incited, to Kristallnacht, the night in November 1938 when Nazi thugs attacked Jewish Germans and their property.

DAILY POST recalls that Trump supporters broke into the Capitol on Wednesday and caused mayhem.

The actor said the incident at the US Capitol trampled the very principles on which the country was founded.

Schwarzenegger, describing Trump as a failed leader, said he has taken solace in the fact that Trump’s presidency would soon be over and be as irrelevant as an old tweet.

“He is a failed leader. Trump will go down in history as the worst president ever. The good thing is he soon will be as irrelevant as an old tweet.

“Also to those who think they can overturn the United States Constitution, know this: You will never win,” he said.

Schwarzenegger criticising the US President over his several unfounded claims of election fraud, said American democracy is like a weapon.

“Our democracy is like the steel of this sword. The more it is tempered, the stronger it becomes.

“Wednesday was the Day of Broken Glass right here in the US. The broken glass was in the windows of the US Capitol.

“These mob did not only shatter the windows of the Capitol, they shattered the ideals we took for granted. They did not just break down the doors of the building that housed American democracy,” he added.

According to him, Trump sought to overturn the results of the election and sought a coup by misleading people with lies.

In conclusion, he pledged to stand with President-elect Biden in defense of US democracy from those who would threaten it.

Schwarzenegger was a member of the Republican Party and elected as governor in California in 2003 until 2011.
