There is no Customary Government of Biafra ---IPOB
(Nigeria) The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has alerted the international community and to the fact that there is no such thing as Customary Government of Biafra.
A statement by Mr Emma Powerful, IPOB Media and Publicity
Officer, on Wednesday, said “At this stage, we (IPOB) are simply freedom fighters and the leader
of IPOB is Nnamdi Kanu who was given the mantle of leadership of IPOB by the
High Command of the Biafran Army on the 30th of May 2014 at Enugu.
“The ceremony bestowing leadership of IPOB on Nnamdi Kanu
was documented and can be viewed on YouTube using the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muRIgNynCwQ&feature=youtu.be
“Sadly, we have discovered that Dr. Dozie Ikedife and his All
Progressives Congress, APC cohorts are parading themselves as Customary
Government of Biafra even when our sovereignty, which was robbed us by Nigeria
and Britain, has not been restored.
Worse still, these fraudsters are ordering genuine Biafra freedom
fighters to come under their illegal and unrecognized Customary Government.
“These usurpers have never come out for demonstration or
supported the release of our leader. They are busy conniving with Rochas
Okorocha and some Igbo politicians who over the decades have sold their
conscience to the devil called Nigeria. These shameless men have been busy
using our name to advance their APC agenda in the Igbo-speaking parts of
Biafraland.
“IPOB under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu is registered and
recognized at the United Nations’ ECOSOC as “Indigenous People of Biafra”
without any second or third-party representation but simply and directly as
“Indigenous People of Biafra-IPOB.” We are also registered and recognized in
over 100 countries and territories around the world.
“When we came out all over the world to demonstrate and to
remember our fallen heroes, where were these APC political harlots claiming to
be Customary Government or part of IPOB? They never came out but here they are
today with the help of Rochas Okorocha, who is a certified Northerner, trying
to confuse the public with their nonsense about Customary Government.
“We challenge them to name one protest march they have
organized. They supported Buhari and his murderous killer squads to execute our
people in cold blood. For these traitors to now claim that they are IPOB, it is
an insult to the memory of the dead. If they do not refrain from this
Buhari-sponsored dance of shame, the consequences will be severe on them.
“While we are not against any person or group of people
answering their name or belonging to any organization of their choice, one
thing is certain and that is; there is only one IPOB and in IPOB we do not have
any Customary Government. Anybody referring to himself as Customary Government
of Biafra is nothing but a petty thief and a criminal working for Nigeria.
“In essence, anyone asking people to support any Customary
Government is putting the lives of our people at risk because they are
essentially informants to Nigeria’s secret police called Department of State Services, DSS. Therefore, Biafrans and
friends of Biafra must be eternally vigilant as well as disregard anyone or
group of people claiming to be members of Customary Government of Biafra
because there is no such thing in existence.
“When Biafra is restored, we shall develop and practice real
democracy as is obtainable in developed countries such as Israel and the United
States of America. We cannot afford to put the cart before the horse. It is
freedom from Nigeria and Britain first before formation of government. The
current singular objective of every genuine Biafran is the restoration of the
nation of Biafra and not the formation of a Customary Government when our
sovereignty is yet to be restored.”
