The Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, has vowed to protest against President Muhammadu Buhari and his
government during the 74th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in the USA
this week.
According to the pro-Biafra
group, the essence of the protest was to stand against the continued onslaught,
arrest and secret abduction of its members by agents allegedly sponsored by the
federal government.
IPOB also said the protest will
serve to prove to the entire world its resoluteness and determination to
achieve an independent state of Biafra free from impunity, corruption, poverty
and human rights abuses.
Recall that President Buhari, in
the company of no fewer than three governors and seven ministers, yesterday
departed Abuja for New York city to represent Nigeria at the 74th global
meeting of the UNGA.
Reacting, in a chat, Comrade Emma Powerful, the Publicity Secretary for IPOB, said:
“Our members in the US are on ground waiting for Buhari to appear in the United
Nations General Assembly this week, the General assembly is scheduled to start
holding deliberation from 25th of September 2019 in the city of New York.
“Our people in the US must make
every arrangement necessary to protest against Buhari and his government in
Nigeria during this upcoming summit to prove our resoluteness and determination
for the coming of Biafra.
“The world leaders must
understand why they must support outright freedom of Biafra people from Nigeria
without much delay.
“Buhari and his Fulani government
in Nigeria have totally destroyed this country and we must let the world know
what Nigeria has become.
“IPOB is going to stage a
powerful protest against him in US for the purpose of standing against the
continued and incessant killing, arrest and secret abductions of Biafrans both
men, women and in a very broad range to stop IPOB from demanding their rights
for free state of Biafran nation. The whole world will see IPOB right in front
of UN headquarters in New York.”
He added that IPOB’s case on the
alleged human rights abuses against its members was already before various
specialised UN agencies and working groups.
According to him, “The
Camallard’s recent press release on Nigeria is one such example. You can see
that only the press statement has rattled Aso Rock and Fulani cabals in the
villas.
“Our meeting with UN officials
last week were frank and forthright. If there were doubts before in their minds
that Nigeria is one almighty calamity, the feeling we got after our discussions
is that they now have a proper appreciation and deeper understanding of how
irredeemably hopeless the case for one Nigeria has become in light of the reign
of impunity, poverty, repression, unbridled corruption and collapse of the
legal system.
“The well marshalled case for
Biafra self-determination by our leader and prophet of our time Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu was all too apparent for them to see and persuasively argued to their
understanding that IPOB will not retreat nor relent in the pursuit for free and
liberation of Biafran people.”
The IPOB spokesman insisted that
the group will only intensify its efforts to bring about the total collapse of
the Nigeria.
He said, “High levels of police
and army brutality against innocent and unarmed citizens of Biafra and absence
of a compromised judiciary makes Nigeria a prime candidate for cataclysmic
implosion in the not too distant future.
“We must protest against Buhari
and his collaborators at the 74th United Nations general assembly in New York
city this week.”
