BIAFRA – The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Wednesday said majority of Igbo people are firmly behind the quest for restoration of Biafra independence and not restructuring.
The pro-Biafran group also criticised the leadership of Ohanaeze Ndigbo for yesterday’s proposed crucial meeting of Ndigbo to discuss restructuring in Lagos, instead of Igboland. It described the event as a desperate attempt by the President of Ohanaeze, Chief Nnia Nwodo, to “relaunch his tattered image as Igbo leader.”
IPOB, in a statement signed by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, noted that Afenifere, the pan Yoruba Socio-Cultural group can never organise any serious gathering outside Yorubaland and wondered why Chief Nwodo must run to a Yoruba territory to conduct his restructuring debate.
IPOB urged all Biafrans, especially those of Igbo extraction, to boycott the Lagos meeting, describing it as “Aso Rock sponsored gathering in Lagos.
