The Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, has released what the system of government would be in the Sovereign
State of Biafra when it is finally actualized.
This was contained in a statement
made available on Monday signed by its Publicity Secretary, Emma
Powerful, with the title, ‘THIS IS FOR THOSE OF US WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW BIAFRA
SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT WILL BE LIKE.’
The pro-Biafra group said its
constitution would be written in local languages with seven nations making up
the country called Biafra.
The statement added, “During the
interactive session with our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, on 12th January, 2019,
OWEI KEME BRADIKUMO asked a question:
“What is the proposed
CONSTITUTION of the upcoming UNITED STATES of BIAFRA. Can we get a draft copy
of it in the public domain now that will be necessary before our campaign
towards the pending globally accepted BIAFRA REFERENDUM?
“Response from MAZI NNAMDI KANU:
Biafra will run a unique political system designed to cater for the needs of
our people.
“We are going to have NATION
STATES. We will have an IGBO NATION WITHIN BIAFRA. We will have an EFIK NATION
WITHIN BIAFRA. We will have ANNANG NATION WITHIN BIAFRA, if they so choose. We
will also have IJAW NATION WITHIN BIAFRA. We will have ISOKO NATION WITHIN
BIAFRA. We will have IDOMA NATION WITHIN BIAFRA. We will have IGALA NATION
WITHIN BIAFRA.
“Listen to this: THEY WILL ALL BE
AUTONOMOUS. Each Nation State will control the resources in their own land. The
only thing that will bind us together will be a COMMON DEFENSE POLICY, COMMON
ECONOMIC POLICY, COMMON POLICY IN HEALTH AND EDUCATION. In the rest, let people
develop according to the pace that they wish or they decided amongst themselves
to go by.
“LAWS WILL BE DONE IN LOCAL
LANGUAGES. Igbo Parliament will make their own laws in Igbo language. Ijaw
Parliament will make their own laws in Ijaw language. The same thing applies to
Ibibio and others. So that when people are lying to us we will know because you
know lying is good in English Language. But you can’t deceive the people when
you are actually speaking in the language that they understand.
“What we are going to have in
Biafra will be A BRAND NEW NATION WITH NEW IDEAS AND NEW WAYS OF DOING THINGS.
Our political arrangements will be geared towards addressing our core needs.
“Igbo Land will have a Prime
Minister. The same thing will happen to Ijaw, to Isoko, to Urhobo, to
Itshekiri. Everybody will be Autonomous from one another to develop at the pace
that they like. That is the type of Biafra we are seeking to have. And that is
the type of Biafra we are going to have.
