Nnamdi Kanu: SERG Denies Lambasting Igbo Leaders, Says Charles Mbani Fake
The South East Renewal Group (SERG) has denied berating Nnamdi Kanu,
the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), over
his position on the 2019 general elections, saying that the group
neither castigated Igbo leaders nor endorsed statements credited the
IPOB leader.
The Convener and National coordinator of the SERG, Chief Willy Ezugwu
in a statement issued in Abuja said one Charles Mbani, claiming to be
the National President of SERG is not known to the group.
“For avoidance of doubt, the SERG has no such position as “National
President” and we have no member by the name Charles Mbani.
“As a group, we have never joined issues with Nnamdi Kanu and the
IPOB. The statement credited to the said imaginary Charles Mbani as
published some media houses is not from the South East Revival Group
and we totally dissociate ourselves from the statement.
“Even though our group will not and can never support any form of
lawless behaviour or threat to the peaceful coexistence.
“The issues surrounding the disappearance and alleged reappearance of
Nnamdi Kanu are a legal issue, which we have refrained to interfere
with. Therefore we never promised to “physically deliver him to the
nearest police station for onward transportation to appear in court”
if he ever sets foot upon the country” as security agencies in the
country knows their job.
“The said Charles Mbani is fake and fictitious. We therefore urge the
media to disregard the source of the story as harbinger of fake news”,
the SERG advised.
