BIAFRA NATION
Describing the summit as “Fulani-sponsored Igbo summit”, the Biafra agitators said such a move was unacceptable.In a statement by IPOB’s Media and
Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, the group accused the
President-General of Ohanaeze, Nnia Nwodo, and some Igbo leaders of
sabotaging the Igbo cause by hobnobbing with Fulani oligarchy.
The group maintained that the only
summit that it would support was one that would educate the people on a
referendum to decide on Biafra and “not on restructuring to remain in
Nigeria.’’
The statement partly read, “We, the
indigenous people of Biafra, and its leadership worldwide, once again
warn Chief Nwodo of Ohanaeze Ndigbo not to dare hold the
Fulani-sponsored Igbo summit in Enugu.
“IPOB warns Nnia Nwodo and his
collaborators not to dare IPOB or face the consequences from the youth.
We are well aware of the nocturnal meetings between Nwodo and a certain
Brigadier General affiliated to the GOC of 82 Division Enugu. The same
people, Ohanaeze Ndigbo and South-East governors ran to and convinced to
launch Operation Python Dance II are the same people Nwodo and his Ohanaeze Ndigbo are running to now for security.
“If Ohanaeze Ndigbo likes, let them
surround the venue with armoured tanks and Fulani soldiers; one thing is
certain, the summit will not hold unless Nwodo and his collaborators
kill us all on that day.”
It vowed to go after Nwodo’s children,
those of the South-East governors and other organisers of the summit
should anything untoward happen to IPOB members who would come out en
masse to disrupt the summit.
Asked to speak on IPOB’s threat, Nwodo
said, “As a father, I would not want to enter into any crossfire with my
children (IPOB members).
“They can say what they like. I’m not
interested. These people are my children; I don’t want to enter into any
crossfire with them. I’m their father, I can’t be replying to anything
they say. I think the Secretary-General of Ohanaeze has replied them.
I’m not interested.” The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra on Saturday vowed to stop the
Ohanaeze Ndigbo from holding its planned summit to discuss the
restructuring of Nigeria.
