IPOB reacts to Ohanaeze’s position on another civil war, says Ohanaeze displayed cowardice.
-The group also promised to continue the agitation for the actualization of Biafra.
Biafra is a divine mandate which no human being can stop.
The Indigenous People of Biafra,IPOB, on Friday labelled as an act of cowardice, a statement credited to the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief John nwodo in which he openly declared any attempt to bring war on Igbo land in the name of Biafra.
They noted that their call for a referendum on Biafra is not a call for war.
The group further maintained that they are following a divine mandate and no person born of man can stop the movement for the actualization of Biafra.
The position of IPOB is as contained in a statement signed by the group’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful.
The statement reads, “We note with great sadness the public acknowledgement of Chief John Nnia Nwodo the Ohanaeze Ndigbo President General about his involvement and that of his organisation in the unpatriotic effort to destroy the work of IPOB, thereby perpetuating the misery of Biafrans in the unworkable Luggardian contraption called Nigeria.
“It is equally baffling to the global family of IPOB, especially those of Igbo extraction, why a highly educated and respected leader of Ohaneze Ndigbo will publicly equate the demand for a referendum as a call for war.
What this demonstrates is that Ohaneze Ndigbo unlike Afenifere may have fallen victim to the Ministry of Information sponsored propaganda and smear campaign that a demand for Biafra equals a demand for war. If that is the case, it is very unfortunate indeed coming from a supposedly enlightened people. A call for referendum is never a call for war.
