The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said Biafra would
soon be restored because the agitation is not dead.
IPOB was reacting to a remark credited to former President
Olusegun Obasanjo that Biafra was dead and buried on 13th January 1970.
The spokesman of the group, Emma Powerful, said no amount of
blackmail or propaganda could stop the restoration of Biafra.
Stressing that Obasanjo acknowledged there was “Igbophobia”
in Nigeria, IPOB asked which ethnic group has been subjugated, maltreated,
deprived, discriminated against, profiled, hated, militarized, and their youths
murdered like the Igbos.
A statement by Powerful reads: “The Indigenous People of
Biafra under Nnamdi Kanu wish to remind the former president of Nigeria,
Olusegun Obasanjo, that Biafra is not dead and was never buried but much alive
and eventually the Sun shall rise to never set again.
“Obasanjo, as a special guest at Professor Charles Chukwuma
Soludo’s one-year celebration in office at the event in Awka, Anambra State, erroneously
said he believed that Biafra died and was buried on 13th January 1970 during
his comment at that occasion.
“We want Obasanjo to know that Biafra is not dead and
definitely not buried. No amount of propaganda and blackmail against the IPOB
movement will make us change our resolve to restore Biafra. We either restore
Biafra or we die restoring Biafra.”
