We the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide under
the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to use this
opportunity to reiterate, yet again, that IPOB have never shifted ground
on its resolve to boycott forthcoming governorship elections in Anambra
State. Biafrans cannot be reasonably expected to agree to any electoral
process that will only perpetuate their current slave status and misery
in this colonial contraption named Nigeria. While we may accept being
routinely killed and dispossessed outside our land, such intimidation
cannot be allowed to go unchecked in Biafraland.
We are therefore
calling on all those who claim to be Igbo leaders especially those in
the pay of Nigerian government to please retrace their steps before it
is too late. It is unfortunate that these persons and certain others
have predictably fallen for the usual crumbs falling off the master’s
table in Aso Rock in exchange for their shameful public rejection of the
IPOB led Biafra restoration project. What these men hope to gain by
continually selling the collective interest of the masses for peanuts
only heaven knows.
We unwaveringly maintain that come November 18, 2017
the whole world will come to the understanding that Biafrans are
determined to be liberated. A few selfish individuals motivated by
greed, envy and jealousy, whose whole life has been characterised by
merchandising in misery and suffering cannot trade with our future
anymore. These men went to Abuja with a list that had their family
members, friends, relatives and girl friends for consideration in
federal government appointments in exchange for our freedom. Their
families occupying ministerial and Federal positions is more important
to them than liberating their people from oppression and servitude.
This present generation of Biafrans can promise them that
days are gone by when leaders emerge in Biafraland through a process of
selection determined by Hausa Fulani oligarchy in Sokoto and Kaduna. The
era of Sokoto Caliphate and Aso Rock dictating political outcomes in
Biafraland is over and will be confirmed on the 18th of Nov. 2017.
All the money these men collected from Abuja to denounce Biafra project
will forever be an albatross around their necks. History will never
forgive them.
We IPOB maintain that there will be no more elections in
Biafraland starting with Anambra State this year. We are equally aware
that some of these Igbo leaders, politicians and clergy are actively
working with their Arewa counterparts in trying to convince the
presidency to re-arrest our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. This deplorable,
unprincipled and disgraceful attitude is indicative of the decay at the
heart of the politics of compromise these men have been playing since
after the war in 1970. They will sell their soul to the devil of it
means one more contract, one more Federal appointment or elongation of
tenure. They must know that this generation of Biafrans, both old and
young, say no to their usual sell-out antics. It is either these men are
with us in our quest for Biafra restoration or they are with their
Hausa Fulani masters in their unholy desire to remain as slaves in
Nigeria.
It is imperative to understand that we IPOB are not asking
the leadership of Ohaneze Ndigbo to abandon their quest to remain in
their restructured Nigeria, what we in IPOB under the leadership of Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu is saying is that they should be restructuring Nigeria
while we continue with the struggle for Biafra independence. If they are
able to finish their restructuring before the arrival of Biafra
independence, then we will examine the parameters on which the
restructuring was established, then the people of Biafra will decide for
themselves between the restructured Nigeria and Biafra independence
which one is more better. Ohaneze should not worry for now because
ultimately the people will decide for themselves. One man, one vote!
More so, we are using this opportunity to advise all
genuine Biafrans, friends of Biafra and lovers of Freedom to ignore the
sponsored anti Nnamdi Kanu/IPOB rantings from these Hausa Fulani slaves
masquerading as politicians and Igbo leaders because they are
responsible for the mess Biafraland is in today. They all know a
successful election boycott in Anambra State will spell doom for Nigeria
and will hasten the coming of Biafra independence that is why they have
rushed to collect money from their Arewa masters to publicly denounce
Biafra agitation for freedom. No matter the route IPOB might take in this ordained and
noble quest to free Biafrans from this perennial servitude, the masses
must have their say. The era of imposition of ideology has come and
gone. Only the people of Biafra can, through a referendum, determine
their destiny, not IPOB leadership, not any other collection of leaders
for that matter.
With the happenings now, IPOB should brace itself, because between now and November 18, 2017,
we would witness the most vile, ruthless and vicious media campaign of
calumny against IPOB. We must prepare ourselves to withstand the
avalanche of sponsored lies and negative media coverage from the Federal
Government of Nigeria and our enemies within. Their aim as always is to
divide Biafraland in the hope of weakening our resolve but we must
stand firm because this is the last major battle before we taste our
long overdue freedom.
We have in the past few days discovered so much blood money
from Hausa Fulani leaders swirling around Biafraland looking for those
to contaminate in their mission to stop IPOB. Therefore, our people must remain focused and resolute if
truly they want Biafra to be restored in our time. We say capital NO to
Anambra elections and further elections in Biafraland until a date for
referendum is agreed. We are not calling for war rather a peaceful
Biafrexit from the Luggardian contraption. This way our people will
choose where they wish to belong. Anybody equating the demand for
referendum as a call to war should have his brain examined.
IPOB has returned power back to the people and they will
exercise it when called upon to do so. We challenge the Federal
Government of Nigeria and her supporters to test the acceptability of
One Nigeria through plebiscite or referendum not with threat, propaganda
and lies.
