We Want Biafra And Nothing Else— IPOB

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said it did not consent to the visit of some Igbo leaders to Aso Rock to plead with President Muhammadu Buhari for the unconditional release of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Emma Powerful  IPOB spokesman disclosed this during an interview. SAHARA REPORTERS reports.

“We don’t have any position on that. We are waiting for the unconditional release of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu because he committed nothing to deserve his current ordeals and inhuman treatments”.

“IPOB members and indeed Biafrans and friends of Biafra will be happy and thank our God, Chukwu Okike Abiama (when Nnamdi Kanu regains freedom).” Information Guide Nigeria

Speaking on some people still enforcing sit-at-home, Powerful said, “We have issued warnings to those enforcing sit at home and also warned those attacking and snatching vehicles from our people in the name of unknown gunmen. IPOB will never allow them have breathing space to humiliate and intimidate our people because IPOB is a peaceful movement and our sole purpose is to achieve Biafra freedom, not intimidate our people.

“We know that the Department of State Services, DSS is the one creating different groups to demonise IPOB but they don’t know how IPOB Movement is structured. For 100 years to come, IPOB will remain a puzzle to them. Those creating different Facebook accounts distracting IPOB leadership don’t know how IPOB operates and should not think that they can destroy the movement or the leadership”.

“Monday sit-at-homes have been suspended long ago. The suspension was based on compelling need not to compound the woes of our people.” jamb results

When asked whether the group would relinquish its agitation for Biafra if the Nigerian government decides to restructure Nigeria, he said, “ Nigerian government must bear one thing in mind; IPOB is not fighting (for) restructuring. We are not against restructuring but our demand is not restructuring. Our demand is the restoration of Biafra State. All we need is a date for a referendum to decide whether or not we want to continue with this forced marriage.

“Those who think Nigeria is ready for restructuring may have to think again. Those benefiting from the current lopsidedness have made restructuring impossible. They are unlikely to heed the clamour for restructuring.

“But for us, the only thing that can make us slow down a little is the government giving us a date for a referendum. Restoration of the sovereign State of Biafra is a divine mandate. Our eternal leader Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu told them to restructure Nigeria, they said no and killed millions of Biafrans in the war. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB did not come on board to demand restructuring; we are for total freedom and independence.”
