Press Release
IPOB UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF NNAMDI KANU HAS BROUGHT A TRANSFORMATIONAL REVOLUTION THAT WILL ENSURE THE LIBERATION OF BIAFRA IN PARTICULAR AND ALL OPPRESSED PEOPLES OF NIGERIA IN NIGERIA
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has the undeniable recognition as the pacesetter in the current quest for the restoration of the nation of Biafra and liberation of all enslaved peoples currently trapped in the British-created monstrosity called Nigeria. For the records, Nigeria is a country created not by God but by a fellow human being and non-African called Frederick Luggard. As we all know, this is contrary to the laws of nature because the creation or emergence of a nation is only by divine providence through aggregation of social, religious and shared value systems, not by force or the dictates of one man.
Luggard’s business-inspired creation we know today as Nigeria has made life unbearable for all peoples and intolerable for Biafrans. Nigeria was not created by God because HE never puts Christians and Muslims in the same country, one must have dominance over the other. The British Government knew this as any advanced country should, but out of exploitative business interest, wickedness and desire to depopulate African societies, they allowed their forced marriage of Christian South and Islamic North to continue to this day, leading to untold hardship, bloodshed, and mass murder. Hence the determination of Nnamdi Kanu and the IPOB he leads to seeking its complete peaceful dissolution in line with internationally recognized procedures and protocol.
It is on record that within four years of its existence, IPOB has taken the Biafra restoration quest to a crescendo unprecedented in the history of modern freedom-fighting in general and particularly for the exit of Biafra from the British-created contraption called Nigeria. We are proud to assert that all the current topical issues in Nigeria ranging from lopsided geo-political environment through infrastructural decay to the Janjaweed-style of governance were all engendered by IPOB agitation for a separate homeland for the people of Biafra and exposure of the British fraudulent creation called Nigeria.
Even petty criminals seeking to evade justice and merchants of misery like the previously unknown Benjamin Apugo of Ibeku Umuahia, an NPN thug in the days of the Second Republic, self-confessed APC servant and by his own admission, age long Hausa-Fulani slave, have also found IPOB a useful mechanism to seek his escape from prosecution for his culpability in an ongoing extortion scam pending before a court of law in Umuahia Abia State.
Most discredited and irrelevant politicians in the South-East and South-South now see their negative comments and press statements against our leader or IPOB as a sure way to escape EFCC investigations or as a means to endear themselves to their Hausa-Fulani masters in the hope of getting some financial reward or political favours. In all these, we (IPOB) remain unperturbed, focused and determined to restore Biafra and liberate all oppressed people enslaved by Britain within what they named Nigeria.
We IPOB, led by Nnamdi Kanu can assuredly confirm that our relentless efforts have resulted in the laughable-cum-panicky call for an Igbo Presidency as a means to assuage our unquenchable quest for the exit of Biafra from Nigeria. Recently, Mr. Raji Fashola has been running amok with half-hearted road rehabilitation measures in Biafraland, in a bid to counter the progress of IPOB towards the total and irreversible liberation of Biafra from the British-supervised internal colonization of Biafraland by the Hausa-Fulani Islamic jihadists.
But Biafrans have already been educated and know that there shall be proper, not cosmetic, infrastructural development in the areas of (Roads, Hospitals, IT, Airports, Seaports, Schools, Industries, etc.) in a sovereign nation of Biafra where the Presidency will not be determined by zoning and where nobody will be treated as a minority. We have a 75-year infrastructural development plan that will even outlast this present generation of freedom fighters. At IPOB, our preoccupation is the well-being of our children yet unborn and posterity. We shall not build roads for the benefit of winning the next election but for the collective advancement of every soul within the society.
IPOB can categorically inform the world that the current slogan of “RESTRUCTURING“ is as a result of the irreversible resolve of Biafrans to leave Nigeria. Without the impact of the truth preached by Nnamdi Kanu and activities of IPOB, nobody would have had the confidence to advocate “RESTRUCTURING” in the first place. Even in the presence of the blood-thirsty dictator Muhammadu Buhari, we IPOB gave our lives and mortgaged our freedoms which had the effect of clearing the way for individuals and groups to protest publicly and rally for causes they cherish. Before the coming of IPOB, individuals and groups were afraid to publicly criticize Buhari or mention the word “BIAFRA“ before strangers outside the comfort of their homes but this is no longer the case.
The emergence of a focused and hopefully Biafra-centric new Executives of Ohanaeze Ndigbo organization was as a direct result of the determination of IPOB in exposing the evils of the past Ohanaeze Executives and their penchant for accepting bribes from Aso Rock and abandoning the Igbo-speaking people of Biafra whom they are supposed to protect. We note that the current Executives of Ohanaeze has started on a strong footing which is reminiscent of the old Igbo Union that was wrongly banned by Major-General J. T. U. Aguiyi-Ironsi. We hope that this new Executive of Ohanaeze will continue to support Biafra restoration process because doing otherwise will lead to their demise just like what happened to their predecessors.
As a responsible, peaceful and friendly freedom-fighting organization, IPOB has never initiated any battle against anyone or any group but has rather responded in full measure only when attacked. Every keen observer would have noticed that we only responded when the integrity of IPOB or the leadership was impugned by certain individuals such as Dr. Dozie Ikedife, Sylvester Udeh a.k.a. Debe Ojukwu, Joe-Judas Igbokwe, Monday Ubani, Raphael Lebeanya Uwazuruike a.k.a. IFEAJUNA, and lately Revd. Father Ejike “Usman” Camillus Anthony Ebenezer Mbaka.
As we move closer to our destination of Biafra, IPOB will focus more on activities that will sensitize Biafrans towards the upcoming referendum and pay less attention to the distractions of individuals and groups who are averse to freedom from tyranny, political subjugation of Hausa-Fulani Islamic Oligarchy and oppression. Therefore, IPOB will no longer respond to every idiotic ranting from disgruntled elements, especially those from the Igbo-speaking area of Biafraland who have sold and will continue to sell their soul for a pot of porridge.
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) shall remain resolute and determined towards the restoration of the nation of Biafra. Nothing shall ever make us waver or retreat from restoring our God-given nation. We welcome multiplicity of organizations from Biafraland, including those from Igbo-speaking area, as long as they are puritanical in their quest for the restoration of Biafra and devoid of corrupt practices. For those who are advocating for “one Nigeria,“ we assure them that they will be defeated and disgraced in the upcoming referendum because we are confident that the people of Biafra shall vote overwhelmingly “YES“ to leave Nigeria.
We do know that Biafrans and all lovers of freedom worldwide will be eternally grateful to the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu and the worldwide family of IPOB for bringing Biafra restoration to the verge of successful accomplishment in such a very short time unlike the shenanigans of the criminally-minded Uwazuruike and others who turned freedom-fighting into a lifetime career. We urge all Biafrans and friends of Biafra to continue to support IPOB in our collective quest to restore Biafra.
We shall never retreat, we shall never surrender until Biafra and all oppressed peoples of Nigeria are totally and unconditionally liberated from the clutches of British Government’s neo-colonial domination and their conniving agents Hausa-Fulani Islamic jihadists.
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu have come out to restore Biafra, and it is a task that we shall achieve in the shortest possible time, and nothing will ever stop us from restoring the nation of Biafra.
Biafra or Death!!!
