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.
