The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has emphatically reinstated its stand on the restoration of Biafra, noting that no Igbo leader or group can influence its decision on Biafra Nation.

Following the statement made by former governor of Anambra State, Chukwuemeka Ezeife, who said the sit-at-home order planned by the group would endanger the economy as well as pose hardships on the South East region.

IPOB spokesman Emma Powerful reacted to the statement on Tuesday, stressing that there is no going back on Biafra, admonishing the South East and South South politicians to accept the fact.

The group also added that they need the release of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, and a date fixed for a refrendum if not the Nigerian economy would be crippled.

The IPOB spokesperson said.“Former Governor Chukwuemeka Ezeife has the right to say his opinion but has no right to direct IPOB. IPOB is an institution that provides guidelines for its members.

“Ezeife or any other body can suggest if IPOB likes their suggestions we take it, but if we don’t like it we leave it.”

“Abducting Nnamdi Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria has completely shown that Nigeria definitely with clear evidence want their economy to be in shambles and comatose.

“IPOB will help them bring the economy into ruin and down unless they release our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. We are entitled to whatever we’re doing.

“The only thing we want is the release Nnamdi Kanu and give us a date for a referendum for Biafra to ascertain our fate whether to continue to stay in Nigeria or not. We are sure that every indigenous nationality and tribe in Nigeria wants to opt out of this evil cage British lumped us together in since 1914.

“We are tired of this contraption called Nigeria and continue keeping us in the hell hole will continue to bring Nigeria into disaster and economical quagmire.

“Therefore we are calling on global leaders to prevail on Nigeria Government and her partners in crime and Fulani cabals running the country to leave us.

“We are no longer interested in the country and its government and they must provide a date for a referendum because it won’t give them good opportunity to manipulate Biafrans and they must continue to force Biafrans to stay in Nigeria.

“We have made up our minds that we can’t continue staying in Nigeria. This is the point we are making and also this is what our leaders in the South-East and South-South fail to understand that the youths are no longer interested in cattle rearing and terrorist country called Nigeria,”the statement added.
