ETHNIC secessionist movement, the indigenous Peoples Of Biafra (IPOB) has commended the federal government for releasing some members of its fold on Thursday stating that the action was a desideratum.
In a statement by the Media and Publicity Secretary of organisation, Mr. Emmanuel Powerful, said their mission was for the restoration of Biafra state and not for violent take-over of the rulership of Nigeria, and therefore urged the government to expediently extent the olive branch to the leader of the organization, Nnamdi Kanu still in detention…
Relating IPOB to other liberation movements around the globe, he reiterated that the liberation movement is dedicated to the self-determination of the indigenous people of Biafra in line with universally acclaimed processes and procedures.
“Having launched Biafrexit, IPOB is fully committed to pursuing a referendum to determine once and for all time the issue of the sovereignty of Biafra.
“we IPOB will continue to demand the civilised world to prevail on Buhari to allow Biafrans to freely choose where they wish to belong.
“The issue of Biafra self-determination cannot be swept under the carpet because Biafra is in black Africa where acceptable civilised standards are lacking. What is good for Scotland and Britain at large is also good for Biafra.
“We, therefore, urge the Attorney-General of the Federation to continue on this path of peaceful co-existence by releasing all Biafra detainees including the leader of IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, whose continued illegal detention is the primary reason why Nigeria is falling apart today”, he said.
