Proscribed Igbo separatist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has labelled the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, a traitor for felicitating with former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon on the occasion of his 90th birthday celebration.
Gowon who was Nigeria’s leader during the civil war, celebrated his birthday on Friday and in the midst of congratulatory messages that poured in, Obi, on Saturday, also wished him well.
“I am privileged to join other Nigerians of goodwill to celebrate a highly respected leader and former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, on his 90th birthday anniversary,” he wrote on his X handle.
