The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), yesterday, lampooned Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma for sharing smart phones to youths in the state to attack members of the group on social media platforms.

Led by its detained leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the group also blamed those youths for accepting the gifts, alleging that Uzodimma is deceiving with smartphones, material things and cash to oppose those fighting for their freedom.

In a statement issued by IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, it argued that the governor would have provided industries and companies where the youths could work and produce phones for sale in the telecommunications market.

“The attention of IPOB has been drawn to the sharing of smart phones by the Supreme Court Administrator of Imo State Hope Uzodimma to the gullible minds and youths he is recruiting to attack IPOB members on social media platforms.

“If Uzodimma has right intentions for Imo State youths, he wouldn’t have given them phones to attack IPOB. He would have provided industries and companies where the youths will work and produce phones,” the statement reads.
