IPOB Responds to Buhari’s Al Jazeera Interview “Biafra would not tolerate Nigeria”
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have replied President Muhammadu Buhari‘s statements about Biafra in his Al Jazeera interview – click here if you missed it.
In a statement titled, ‘Response to Ohanaeze and Buhari’s disparaging remarks about Biafra on Al Jazeera,’ the group said in Enugu via its spokespersons Emma Mmezu and Dr Clifford Iroanya –
We wish to reiterate for record purposes that our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has not mandated Ohanaeze or any youth group to negotiate for his release. The agitation for Biafra is a long and arduous process and the entire IPOB family all over the world understands this approach as espoused by our detained leader.
We have not come to merely agitate, we have come to restore or die in the process. Some people think we are joking or can be easily dissuaded from this divine path that God-Chukwu Okike Abhiama has mandated us to follow.
Any negotiation on Biafra must be led by Nnamdi Kanu and nobody else. If roads, bridges and a few junior staff at Aso Rock are our problems as Biafrans, then IPOB worldwide can fund such infrastructural development alone and very soon, we shall do it. Our quest is Biafra- nothing more, nothing less.
On the issue of Buhari’s Al Jazeera interview on Biafra, we welcome his comments because Biafra would not also tolerate Nigeria. Lord Lugard created Nigeria not Chukwu Okike Abhiama, God Almighty. So, like USSR, it will collapse. We, the IPOB Worldwide have decided not to go back on the quest for restoration of Biafra. Nigeria is not bigger than USSR just as Buhari is not stronger than Michael Gobachev. Buhari can kill Biafrans as he did during the 1967 to 1970 civil war, but this time, it will not be the same.”
