IPOB warns FG, says we’re bigger than your political strategies
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has sent message of warning to the Federal Government to stay away from connecting it to attacks being carried out in the Southeastern zone of Nigeria.
The Informant247 reports that the federal government had on several occasions accused the secessionist group and its security wing, the Eastern Security Network, ESN of the attacks on security agents and government facilities.
The spokesperson of the IPOB, Emma Powerful, on Monday revealed that the proscribed indigenous group has no connection with the attacks.
The separatists have sent message of warning that anyone connecting the group and the ESN to all attacks in the region, would regret it.
Emma Powerful said the IPOB has got nothing to do with the politics of Nigeria, reaffirming that the group only has interest in referendum to determine the destination and destiny of Biafra as an independent country.
The group said it will attach much importance and significance to a United Nations, UN, supervised referendum in determination of their secession.
“Nigeria Government should leave IPOB/ESN alone. We are bigger than their political strategies. They can link or lure other groups into Nigeria Politics but not IPOB because we remain focused on our mission and can’t be attracted to what we abhor.
“We abhor anything in Nigeria and can’t be attracted to what we have rejected.
“The only political process that IPOB will participate in is a UN supervised Biafra Referendum that will usher in Biafra Sovereignty and Independence.
“Anyone intending to link ESN Operative, Volunteers, including IPOB members in their planned political attacks is deluded and regret will always be their portion,” the group said.
