IPOB issues fresh threat to President Buhari
May resume nationwide protests in south-south and
south-east
Pro-Biafra protesters are set to resume their nationwide
protests.
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have threatened
President Muhammadu Buhari, stating that they will
resume their nationwide protests.
According to a statement issued by its media and
publicity head, Emma Powerful, the group said it had
endured enough waiting for the federal government to
release its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, who was arrested in
2015.
This Day reports that the separatists would reignite the
wave of protests in the south-east and parts of south-
south zones.
The statement reads in part: “We have endured, we will
start the protest that will bring the government to its
knees.
”
The group added also, that the protest was earlier called
off so as “not out of cowardice and fear but to show
maturity and professionalism in what we are doing and to
allow federal government to release our leader, Kanu
unconditionally.”
Powerful noted that it gave the federal government the
opportunity to take a decision and “release the man who
did not commit any crime” with its recent break from
protests, but they remained adamant.
“We know they will kill us as they used to do before now
but in the end we will be free.” He called on, “ Biafrans to
be ready for what is to come,” the statement read further.
The IPOB media and publicity head expressed their
excitement with the pro-Biafra protests going on around
the world which is still in progress, adding that “we in
Biafraland will not stop until our leader is released
unconditionally.”
He also said those who advised President Buhari
against the freedom for the IPOB leader are waiting to
laugh over his downfall.
Obi made the disclosure in Awka, the Anambra state
Capital during the grand reunion of Osisiona Foundation
founded by Dr Chike Obidigbo, former All Progressive
Grand Alliance (APGA), gubernatorial aspirant in the
state.
He (Obi) said that Igbos chose to be spectators than
getting into the mainstream of seat of power, where the
national cake is being shared, declaring that if one was
not where the cake is being shared nobody will
remember you.
