Threats Won’t Make Us Leave Nigeria-IPOB

The Indigenous People of Biafra have called on the people behind the recent #IgboMustGo campaign in Lagos to rather advocate for a referendum for the peaceful exit of Igbos from Nigeria.

The Biafra group said in light of the campaign against the Igbos, the people are ready to leave Yoruba land and indeed Nigeria.

In a statement signed by it media and publicity secretary Emma Powerful , the pro Biafra group stated that instead of threatening to unconstitutionally and violently force people of igbo out of the Yoruba region, they should urge the government to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu

The statement said, “Following the provocative “IgboMustGo” proposed protest slated to commence from August 20-30th 2024, by some faceless Yoruba groups and persons, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wish to remind the Yoruba anti-Igbo groups that Ndigbo are ready to exit Yoruba land and Nigeria via a referendum. Ndigbo will not succumb to any threat from any group or persons to leave any state or region in Nigeria.

“ We have seen it all in Nigeria and are prepared for any opportunity to exit Nigeria at any time.

“But it will be more appropriate that we are allowed to exit Nigeria peacefully and democratically in order to maintain good neighborly relationships.”
