The Leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu has warned the President Muhammadu Buhari-lef government to stop harassing former President, Goodluck Jonathan, and his wife, Dame Patience.
Kanu stated this in a broadcast on Radio Biafra on Wednesday, IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said in a Thursday statement.
He was reacting a subpoena by Buhari’s government on foreign bank records and properties allegedly owned by Jonathan and his wife.
The IPOB leader said the move by the Buhari-led administration is just an attempt to cover up its own corruption as they have a case to answer concerning the N13.9 billion meant for Aso Rock clinic.
He warned that his group we will bring down Nigeria if the current administration toy with the former ‘first family’.
“They are now pursuing former President Goodluck Jonathan after looting the country and are now shopping for loans from lending agencies. They have not given the account of the N13.9 billion meant for Aso Rock clinic, yet the same people are asking for the account of a former president and his wife to disgrace them and make them scapegoats in their misrule.
“They are also pursuing Mrs. Diezani Madueke because they want to divert attention of Nigerians and the world from their incompetence and looting, but they have not responded to the allegation of looting of N13.9 billion meant for Aso Rock clinic which alarm was raised by the wife of their president against the cabal in the government.
“We in IPOB are warning them and their compromised media who have not seen anything good in other administrations except theirs, to leave former President Jonathan and his wife, Patience, alone.
“You may toy with Jonathan because he allowed you to do that to him, but do not toy with Patience, otherwise we will bring down Nigeria. We are surprised that PANDEF and Ohanaeze Ndigbo have all kept quiet to this renewed attack on Jonathan.
“It is high time Dr Jonathan dropped his gentleman’s toga and defend himself, his wife and family members,” the statement reads.
