The incarcerated leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, and supporters of him have shifted sides, according to Alhassan Saleh, National Secretary of the Fulani sociocultural group Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, better known as Miyetti Allah.

According to Track News, Saleh claimed in an interview with a national publication that the Fulani people would not support Peter Obi as the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, branding him a bigot of the Fulani tribe and someone who despises the North.

He asserted that Obi drove Hausa and Fulani residents out of the state and damaged Northerners’ businesses while serving as governor of Anambra State.

However, his claim drew criticism, particularly from opponents. But Saleh clung to his opinion.

“If you look at the pattern of the main aspirants – take Peter Obi, for instance, who is from the South-East, his followers are primarily from the South-East,” he stated in an interview with Punch that was published on Saturday. If you look at his social media followers, you will see that they have historically promoted the Indigenous People of Biafra.

“Every single Nnamdi Kanu follower is now behind Peter Obi. What do you think that means, then? It is therefore not something that is concealed.

“It is finished. I’m not being ethnically biased or creating a candidate profile.
