Adamu Garba, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has compared Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), to the late Mohammed Yusuf, the founder of Boko Haram.
Garba insisted that Abubakar Shekau, the leader of Boko Haram, and Kanu are identical.
The APC leader questioned why Simon Ekpa, a self-described disciple of Kanu, was being treated so lightly in a tweet.
He argued that some subordinates can be more dangerous than their superiors.
According to Garba:
As Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB is like Mohammed Yusuf of Boko Haram, so is Simon Ekpa of IPOB, who is like Abubakar Shekau of Boko Haram.
Oftentimes, second-in commands are more violent. We shouldn’t treat this Ekpa guy with levity.
As a patriotic duty, we should unite and deplatform Ekpa.
