The Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB) has described the re-election bid of President Muhammadu Buhari as a
“welcome development”.
Buhari announced on Monday that
he will be seeking re-election in office during the 2019 elections.
He said this is because of the
“clamour” by Nigerians urging him to seek a second term.
In a statement on Tuesday, Emma
Powerful, IPOB spokesman, said the president’s decision portends goodwill for
its members.
“We have always maintained that
the rebirth of Biafra will happen under Buhari or under whoever is answering to
his name,” he said.
“This second coming of Buhari
portends goodwill for freedom lovers because God Almighty wants to fulfill his
divine purpose in the life of Biafrans in 2019 as foretold by our leader Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu.”
Powerful said though IPOB “has
lost a lot of people” in its quest for a sovereign state of Biafra, “no amount
of tribulation will stop us from emerging victorious as a free people at the
end of this process.
“We urge our brethren in the
Middle Belt and Western Nigeria not to give up or capitulate in this our
collective quest to free our people from the shackles of caliphate domination
and creeping Islamisation.
“IPOB will not relent in its
pursuit of total liberation. The continued existence of this disastrous APC
government is our passport to freedom.”
