The leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, is presently generating controversy on social media with his claim that PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is from Cameroon.
Kanu stated this in a live broadcast on Biafra Radio from his base in London, England.
He equally called on South East voters to broadcast the 2019 presidential election and instead participate in a Biafra referendum.

But many Nigerians have taken to Twitter to react to Kanu’s claim on Atiku and boycott of the 2019 polls.
See tweet:
Nnamdi Kanu said Nigeria is a Zoo. You believed him. He said Buhari is a clone, from Sudan, you believed him. Now he’s saying you should boycott the election on Feb 16 — you don’t want to believe him again? 🤷🏾♂️

Nnamdi Kanu is back with another version of his Jubrin-from-Sudan story. It’s fake news of course, but the interesting thing is the people most angered by it are the ones who most gleefully pushed the Jubrin narrative. With fake news as with every other thing, what goes around…

Nnamdi Kanu is a joke and it would hilarious if he wasn’t so dangerous and people weren’t so gullible. Ndi Igbo, ignore this narcissistic sociopath. He does NOT mean ANY of us well.
He’s sitting pretty with his British passport. pic.twitter.com/z3WZi4tvxv

Nnamdi Kanu has fixed the Biafran referendum on the day of the presidential elections, Feb 16 and directed all Igbos to stay at home so Biafran population commission will come and count them for referendum purpose.
Kanu that is on exile in London 😂😂

Nnamdi Kanu is back with a new story. This time, he says Atiku is from Cameroon and not a Nigerian; insists on "No leflendum, no erection". Unfortunately, those who wanted Nigerians to believe him when he said Buhari is Jubril from Sudan, are now asking Nigerians not to mind him! pic.twitter.com/dspVZlECNL

The identity of @atiku keeps metamorphosing.
AA said he is the original Fulani & his spokesman @SegunShowunmi agrees cos he speaks "Fulani". National Secretary, Miyetti Allah, called him a Bantu man, FFK called him a Chamba man & now Kanu is saying he is from Cameroon.#pmb4plus4 pic.twitter.com/CPUzFN5TC9

Is that why Nnamdi Kanu wants to help same Buhari that killed over 150 IPOB protesters?

Both Nnamdi Kanu and this one over here reside abroad. Just because of APC dollars they've conspired to mislead Ndigbo into Voter's apathy in order give Buhari victory.
Shameless Outcasts. Disposable properties of lesser gods. https://t.co/AuV78mLTiV

Nnamdi Kanu came to tell us that Buhari is dead, that the man in Aso Rock is an impostor named Jubril from Sudan…. You applauded him.
Same Nnamdi kanu is now telling us that Atiku is a Cameroonian & not a Nigerian…. You are now abusing him.
Hypocrisy??
