BIAFRA
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has declared its support for the
Niger Delta Avengers’ plan to break away from the country on October 1.
The group said its support for Avengers is borne out of their philosophy
that is related. It, however, reiterated the fact that it has no
working relationship with Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta
(MEND).
The spokesperson of the group, Emma Powerful, said: “We have nothing to
do with MEND, but our philosophy aligns with that of Niger Delta
Avengers who bravely called for the release of our leader and had
maintained it till date. Avengers and IPOB are one in pursuit of freedom
for all the peoples of Biafra. IPOB is in total support of the proposed
independence declaration proposed by Avengers on the 1st of October.
“IPOB recognises the efforts of the reformed MASSOB as they have
publicly stated that they are no longer working with the now discredited
leadership of BIM and former MASSOB. As long as they maintain this
stance and do not engage in activities capable of undermining the
pursuit of freedom, we shall continue to acknowledge their efforts. Some
so-called Igbo leaders are mere Hausa-Fulani stooges and will kill
their children if the North demands it. Thankfully, we still have
honourable Igbo men left.”
He asserted that the group would not be soft pedal in spite of the
continued detention of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu. “IPOB is not in the
business of soft-pedalling like previous groups that may have given the
impression they were campaigning for our freedom when all they were
after was a settlement. At the end of this battle for freedom, the world
will know that there are those who cannot be bought nor compromised
like Nnamdi Kanu and the IPOB that he leads. Source. thebiafratelegraph
