The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) says President
Muhammadu Buhari is secretly planning a visit to Ebonyi State.
The group, however, said that Buhari would meet a hostile
welcome if he visited the state whether openly or secretly.
According to IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu must regain his freedom
before the president could visit any stated in the South-East region.
IPOB stated this in a statement by the group’s spokesman,
Emma Powerful, which was made available to SaharaReporters on Thursday.
It said, “The attention of the global movement and family of
the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has been drawn to the planned secret
visit of Buhari to Ebonyi State.
“The secret visit according to IPOB intelligence is being
facilitated by some All Progressives Congress politicians in the state.
“IPOB will not accept any visit both secret and open, by
Buhari to Biafraland while our leader is still in DSS cell. Our leader has to
be released unconditionally before Buhari should contemplate any visit to
Biafra land.
“Biafrans will lock down everywhere any day he ventures to
visit Biafraland until he releases our leader. He will meet empty streets in
Ebonyi or any part of Biafra he chooses to visit without releasing Nnamdi Kanu.
“Biafrans must be prepared to lock down our territory any
day he comes here in our region. Buhari has shown that he doesn't like us. Our
leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu cannot be in detention and we are welcoming Buhari in
our region.
“Biafrans will sit-at-home any day he decides to come and
mock us. He will know that the few politicians telling him lies about us don't
have control over the people. Should he decide to proceed with the planned
visit, Ebonyi will be on lock down.”
