The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said Southeast
governors, religious leaders, and traditional rulers cannot decide the fate of
Igbos regarding Biafra.
IPOB said Southeast governors and the elites are too small
to decide if Igbos should remain with Nigeria against their wish.
Recall that the Chairman of the Southeast Governors Forum
and Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi had said the region won’t succumb to
the Biafra agitation.
Umahi had said Igbos have invested a lot in Nigeria to
succumb to the Biafran agitation.
Reacting, IPOB said such comment has exposed Southeast
governors as those trying to create anarchy in the country.
In a statement by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, IPOB said:
“We are the global movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the
command and leadership of our able leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU. Our attention has
been drawn to the laughable disgraceful statement credited to the South-East
governors where they said that Igbo did not want to leave Nigeria, and
threatened to create an anti- agitation group in South East to checkmate IPOB.
“We, therefore, wish to remind South-East governors that their
disgraceful plan of creating another group to checkmate IPOB is dead on
arrival. The people have lost confidence in them and just as their imaginary
Ebubeagu security outfit, no such faceless group can survive in South East.
“But we want to remind South-East governors and the Igbo
political elite that they represent less than one percent of the Biafran
population. The rest of over 99% of the people earnestly ask for Biafra, and
the train has long left the station.
“It is unfortunate that the south East governors are the
ones contemplating creating anarchy in the region. Now we can see the real
sponsors of the festering insecurity in the region. We are watching them. Now
it is obvious that South-East governors in collaboration with the wicked
Nigeria security agents are behind the fake groups wreaking havoc across the
South East in their desperation to implicate IPOB.
“Instead of setting up a sincere regional security outfit
like Amoteku, they created the mischievous and imaginary Ebube Agu to do the hatchet
job for them. All this is in their futile efforts to demonise IPOB and
ultimately scuttle the growing agitation for Biafra restoration which they
consider injurious to their political interests.
“What happened in Imo State yesterday was a confirmation of
the strong suspicion all along that the selfish political elite and the
security agencies are behind the current spate of insecurity in the South East.
The world is still in shock of that act where Nigeria police killed Nigeria DSS
as unknown gunmen who is terrorising innocent citizens and tagged him as ESN
and IPOB.”
