IPOB has said Buhari must announce a date for Biafrexit Referendum
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have listed conditions that could foster peace between President Muhammadu Buhari and the group.
The group also warned politicians against misinterpreting facts concerning IPOB to the general public.
“Any politician or persons wishing to be regarded as serious intermediary in the quest to emancipate our people must be truthful at all times,” IPOB said in a statement.
The group said any attempt by individuals or politicians, “will be met with instant repudiation and termination of that person's involvement in the affairs of IPOB.”
“Our leader is an uncompromising straight forward Biafran first and foremost; any attempt to misrepresent his views or that of IPOB will be resisted." it said.
The group also said the president must understand that the quest for the restoration of the nation of Biafra is unquenchable and irreversible.
“We advise Buhari to toe the path of peace to engender a conducive environment that will restore the confidence of investors who are leaving Nigeria in droves on a daily basis since he became the ruler of the country,” IPOB said:
The IPOB however, listed three conditions that must be to achieve peace.
Below are the conditions given by IPOB:
1. Buhari must release the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, along with other Biafran detainees.
Other political detainees including Ibrahim Yaqoub El Zakzaky and Sambo Dasuki must also be released.
2. Buhari must announce a date for Biafrexit Referendum, and
3. Buhari must convene a public inquiry into the massacre of IPOB family members as documented by Amnesty International.
It said: “Without the above palliatives, restoring normalcy to Nigeria remains a pipe dream. We are bold to state that Nigeria is heading irreversibly in the direction of dismemberment which will be to the benefit of the three distinct nations of Arewa, Oduduwa, and Biafra that make up the country called Nigeria.”
The group also said it is an undeniable fact that when the history of restructuring or disintegration is written about Nigeria, only three names - Radio Biafra, IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu - will stand out.
