The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has issued a stern warning to the organizers of World Igbo Congress and restated its demands.
The group warned all they need is total independence from Nigeria rather than appointments of Igbos into political positions in Nigeria.
This was contained in a statement made by its Media and Publicity Secretary Mr. Emma Powerful.
He said, said IPOB, under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu, stands by the former Aviation Minister, Chief Fani Kayode who openly stood against and condemn the injustice against its people.
The statement reads: “We are watching the situation with kin interest, but, we warn the AYF and their sponsors to stop attacking Fani-Kayode. The attack on Fani Kayode and/or Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose by some sponsored groups and youths from the northern part of Nigeria is a clear indication that youths in Arewa land are brainwashed by their politicians.
“Therefore, we, in IPOB, want to let the world know that we are in support of brave outspoken men like Fani-Kayode, Governor Fayose and those who stood their ground without fear or favour to speak out against injustice.
“These men of honour deserve the respect of all, not condemnation because they stand for justice and equity.
“Going by the statement that led AYF to attack Fani-Kayode that President Buhari told him he will never forgive the Igbo, the Igbo are aware that Buhari hates them. He has been showing his hatred for Igbo people since he started and everyone knows that his actions towards Igbo people speak louder than his voice.
“There is no doubt that his actions against the people of Igbo extraction always prove that he has a deep hatred for them. In 1984, when he toppled the democratically elected government of Nigeria, led by Alhaji Shehu Shagari, he openly detained the former vice president, Dr. Alex Ekwueme and other prominent politicians from Igbo extraction in maximum prisons and kept those politicians from other parts of Nigeria, mostly those from the North, in a house arrest because they are not Igbo.
“It is against this backdrop that we call on those Igbo politicians, who scheduled the World Igbo Congress that we, in IPOB, are not fighting for appointments in Nigeria government, rather, we want total liberation from the country,” the group said.
