IPOB Press Release
March 14 2024 | IPOB
The attention of the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by the great and indefatigable leader, Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu has been drawn to the careless call from President Ahmed Bola Tinubu to the State Governors to provide Land in each State for Fulani ranching.
IPOB considers such a call as careless, thoughtless, and a great insult to the indigenous peoples in Nigeria who have been massacred by the same foreign marauding Fulani terrorists nicknamed herdsmen.
Nigerian Dailies yesterday reported what could be considered as the most reckless and thoughtless call by President Ahmed Bola Tinubu during a political inauguration of his Agricultural Program in Niger State. He was said to have asked the State Governors to provide land to Fulanis for RUGA and ranches in the contraption called Nigeria.
Perhaps President Tinubu has forgotten that political campaigns where careless promises are made to win elections are over. The recent public call for the State Governors to provide land to murderous Fulanis that have committed mass murder against the indigenous peoples in Nigeria is thoughtless, careless, and is emboldening of the herdsmen terrorists.
Nevertheless, we in the IPOB movement and family will never allow ceding or selling any part of our ancestorial land to these dangerous Fulani terrorists and bandits for whatever reason. The Biafra region has no land for Fulanis for whatever purpose.
Biafrans are farmers and pastoralists, too. Our lands are not sufficient for Biafrans to farm and rear livestock, let alone ceding some to the dangerous terrorists. President Ahmed Bola Tinubu can ceed part of the South West land to his Fulani political Masters. More so, the north has the largest land mass. They can ceed some to the Fulanis but definitely not in the South East and South-South.
In the light of this unfortunate and malicious call from the intimidated President Tinubu, IPOB call all the Governors in Biafra Land not to surrender Biafra land to the mass murderers and jihadists by obeying the political call to give lands to Fulanis for RUGA and Ranching. IPOB and Ndigbo, in general, will resist any governor who gives or sells any land to Fulanis for whatever purpose. Those regions in the North and Middle Belt that accommodated Fulanis today are conducting mass burial of their citizens.
Many are displaced to IDP camps, from their ancestorial lands because it has been taken over and renamed by the Fulanis marauding jihadists. Only a wicked leader will sell his people into slavery to enjoy four (4) to eight (😎 years of political fame).
The ancestorial land belongs to the people, not the governors. IPOB will not spare any governor who gives or sells land to the Fulanis jihadists for whatever purpose. Even if any governor is intimidated to give land to Fulanis jihadists, ESN will ensure that Fulanis never settle in any part of Biafra.
The former Fulani government of General Muhammadu Buhari, the Miyetti Allah patron, adopted all tricks in the book to establish Fulani jihadists settlement in all the states for future bloody jihad, but Nigerians resisted them. It is unfortunate that Tinubu’s government that has subjected Nigerians to an avoidable hunger and economic disaster is pushing an agenda that will further increase food scarcity and insecurity in the contraption called Nigeria.
President Ahmed Bola Tinubu should not think that Fulani jihadists will suddenly love him or free all their kidnapped victims in the Northern Nigeria because he wants to yield to their demands. Nigeria Security Agencies have what it takes to launch hostage rescue missions against the Northern Fulani terrorists. But if Tinubu’s government decides to be intimidated by the mass kidnap antics of the Caliphate, then he will end as the worst government in the contraption.
The murderous Fulani herdsmen and their sponsors sustain insecurity, insurgency and mass abduction, and ransom payments. Any serious government can stop these atrocities. Unfortunately, Nigeria is a corrupt country that sacrifices her citizens for power and money via insurgency and terrorism.
Fulani herdsmen and bandits must know that Biafra territory is a no-go area. We call on the people of the South West and Middle Belt to rise up and reject Tinubu’s and his Fulani Masters’ Fulanization agenda. Any region that allows Fulani occupation either by RUGA or ranching is doomed.
