The
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has claimed that the killings across the
country was an indication of an impending catastrophic end to Nigeria.
IPOB warned
that the killings would destroy Nigeria unless its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, is
“released from military detention” and allowed to conduct “referendum in
peace”.
The group
said its leader foretold the persistent killings across the country.
The
pro-Biafra group also faulted President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election bid,
saying he was coming to enthrone Hausa, Fulani supremacy over the rest of
Nigerians.
In a
statement by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, the pro-Biafra group said, “Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu via Radio Biafra broadcasting from London foretold what is to
befall Nigeria
“It should
be noted that when Buhari was crying his eyes out and agonizing over whether to
run for presidency for the umpteenth time; at a time when grazing reserves and
cattle ranching had not even entered the lexicon of political discourse in
Nigeria, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu via Radio Biafra broadcasting from London foretold
what is to befall Nigeria.
“As they
campaigned vigorously for elections, you would think, they are coming to grow
the economy, enthrone justice, breed unity and tolerance, love for one another.
No! they are coming to enthrone Hausa/Fulani supremacy, to reposition the
security agencies by sacking all competent hands and replace them with their
kinsmen in order to drive their ethnic domination of the south.
“When IPOB
came with their message of freedom and hope, some people, probably misguided by
sponsored propaganda against Biafra due to their dependency on oil and gas,
came up with the narrative that IPOB was preaching hate and would cause another
civil war. What those that bought into the Aso Rock lies never knew was that
war had already been declared by marauding terrorists under the false cover of
herdsmen/farmer clash. This blatant misrepresentation is still being propagated
by BBC, Bloomberg, CNN and their likes, hence the lack of urgency from
international community in tackling the menace.
“The feudal
lords are not remotely worried over their open declaration and execution of a
deadly covert war on the people of Middle Belt and the rest of Southern
Nigeria. This same fate shall befall all Nigerians unless Nnamdi Kanu is
released from military detention to lead the people to freedom and safety.”
