IPOB Press Release
August 01 2024 | IPOB
Following the wind of hardship and hunger protest and bad governance blowing across the contraption called Nigeria, the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led by the great leader, Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu wish to advise Ndigbo to be on guard and protective of their lives and properties during the protests. Our ancestors said that whoever is surrounded by the enemies watches over his life always.
A security report at our disposal has it that the Nigerian President Ahmed Bola Tinubu together with the National Security Adviser (NSA) and State Minister for Interior with some Security hierarchy have concluded plans to carry out selective elimination of Ndigbo in the Northern and Western Nigeria.
The clandestine State sponsored operation of targeting Ndigbo in the North and West will be carried out with claims of going after protest sponsors. There are also plans to sponsor criminal elements from the Northern extraction in the East to carry out violent protests to provide opportunities for the Nigerian murderous security to launch attack against Ndigbo during this period.
Therefore, Ndigbo should be careful and know that they are hated and targeted across the contraption called Nigeria.
Furthermore, the false accusations against IPOB and Mr. Peter Obi by the federal government as the sponsors of the proposed protest by the Nigerian Government Agents are part of the sinister plan and agenda to target Ndigbo for elimination. The false alarm that IPOB and Ndigbo are sponsoring the protest is another false flag operation targeted at killing Ndigbo during the protest. Neither Ndigbo nor IPOB called for the Nigerians to protest against the leadership disastrous performance in Nigeria.
Interestingly, both the IPOB, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, and many other Igbo groups have warned Ndigbo not to join the proposed peaceful national protest against hardship and hunger in the wider Nigeria. We have maintained that Nigerians must carry their cross and enjoy their emelikon. Ndigbo do not know what emelikon means. Sadly, the Nigerian government and her proxies are falsely accusing Ndigbo and IPOB as the sponsors of the protest against the Tinubu’s government. WE HAVE NO HAND IN IT!
Therefore, all the Biafrans in the North and West must understand that they are outside their region and should endeavour to defend themselves and their properties. As much as possible, refrain from joining neither the Nigerian citizens planned peaceful protest nor the hired pro government protest. Should you expose yourself, you and your business will be the main target, not Athe other tribes. Understand that you are not loved in the supposed country of the zoo called Nigeria that some of you claim to be part of.
Though Ndigbo are facing the same economic hardship that others are facing, Ndigbo are usually the victims of any protest in Nigeria. We must learn our lessons. If need be, the only protests that Ndigbo should sponsor and fully participate in is the protest for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and a call or a UN supervised referendum. What we are interested in now is for President Tinubu to release Mazi Nnamdi KANU and give us a date for the Biafran referendum for Biafrans to decide their fate in Nigeria or an independent Biafra Nation.
As the hunger protest plans rage, Ndigbo must ensure that they defend themselves and their properties against hoodlums and tribal bigots who will capitalize on the protest to loot their materials in our shops. Moreso, every Igbo person in the East, North and West must be on security alert during this period of their protest. Ndigbo will be the target of the federal government’s brutal force during the proposed peaceful protest. Don’t be a victim!
