The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has described as political of compensation, the kite being flown by some Northern elders to the effect that Ndigbo would be allowed to clinch the presidential seat in 2019.
Spokesman of the IPOB, Emma Powerful who spoke to newsmen Wednesday on the issue, said they are not interested in Nigeria’s affairs any longer, adding that those flying the kite of Igbo presidency in 2019 is merely a distraction.
Powerful said what IPOB wants is to release their leader, Nnamdi Kanu from the detention and to allow Biafrans to go and not to play politics of compensation by telling Ndigbo that they will become the president in 2019, apparently to douse tension.
He recalled that politics of compensation was played during the June 12, 1993 saga when the Yorubas were compensated with Obasanjo presidency in place of M.K.O. Abiola’s annulled election, just as President Buhari was compensated because of Boko Haram insurgency.
According to him, “If politics of compensation was used to favour Obasanjo in place of June 12 annulment and was also used to favour Buhari in place insurgency, that is their own cup of tea. But for us in IPOB, we are not interested in that politics of compensation whereby we are being told that an Igboman will become Nigeria’s president in 2019 and we will begin to listen to them”.
“All we want or are interested in is to release our leader, Kanu and then allow Biafra to be and not Igbo presidency”, he stated. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

I think the best thing is to conduct referendum election for Igbo people, if majority wants to have their country let it be peacefully, there is no point of repeating Biafara war again. if majority want to remain in Nigeria then those agitating for Biafara can be dealt with by Nigerian government in accordance with the rule of law.

ReplyDeleteHow would this Biafra be like.....Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo state asking for a country of your own... please Buhari give it to them... But they should remember to take off Delta, Bayeyelsa, Akwa Ibom, Cross River and River state out of that Map of theirs, because we Niger Deltas are not a part of any struggle, if we want to go we can exist independently as a nation...... We wish the Igbo's well!!!!!! bye
