The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Tuesday warned
against any protest in the Southeast over the current spate of hunger and
economic hardship ravaging Nigeria.
IPOB warned that anyone who organizes protests across the
Southeast will regret such an action.
The spokesman of IPOB, Emma Powerful, said the current
economic hardship and hunger was part of the reason the group has been
agitating for the actualization of Biafra.
A statement by Powerful reads: “Following the unprecedented
hardship in Nigeria, we the global family and movement of the Indigenous People
of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by the great leader, Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu
hereby caution the people of Biafra not to join any Nigerian to protest against
hunger in Nigeria in any Biafran territory. Any Nigerian agent who dares to
organize any protest in Biafraland will regret it.
“The current hardship in Nigeria should be the concern of
Nigerians, not Biafrans. Biafrans are no longer interested in the affairs of
Nigeria. Biafrans were abused, intimidated, beaten, killed and denied voting
rights during the election of this present government.
“Ndigbo were told to wait that it is their turn to rule, not
the turn of Ndigbo. The aftermath of the fraudulent elections was the
demolition of Ndigbo’s properties and investments in the West and Northern
parts of the zoo called Nigeria. Has anyone or groups organized a protest
against the demolition of Ndigbo’s properties in the West and North? Anyone who
organized any protest against economic hardship in Biafraland will put Biafrans
in danger.
“We understand that Biafrans are equally affected by the
economic hardship arising from the reckless and thoughtless economic policies
of Emilokon, but God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama is still seeing Biafrans
through. We are worried about the suffering of other tribes but there is
nothing we can do.
“The current situation is why Biafrans are fighting for
freedom. Nevertheless, we must apply wisdom. Biafrans have gone far for Biafra
restoration Independence, and it must materialize very soon. Biafrans have gone
through the worst economic crisis and emerged victoriously during their planned
war of annihilation against the Igbo race.”
