The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) declared on Sunday
that only its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, can call for a Biafra referendum.
IPOB stated that the date for the Biafra referendum, along
with the criteria and schedule, would be announced, emphasizing that it would
be organized within the framework of United Nations (UN) laws and the African
Charter.
Emma Powerful, the spokesman of IPOB, urged Igbos to ignore
Simon Ekpa, a self-proclaimed Biafra Prime Minister based in Finland, for
attempting to trivialize the referendum and the succession struggle into mere
entertainment.
In a statement he signed, Powerful urged Igbos to disregard
any ongoing secret referendum.
According to Powerful: “The attention of the global family
and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), ably led by the great
and resolute leader Mazi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu, has been drawn to the purported
secret referendum by faceless criminals behind the kidnappings and
car-snatching syndicate in Alaigbo and their double agent in Finland. For the
public record, there is nothing like a Biafra Referendum at the moment. Do not
fall into the Nigerian Government’s traps.
“IPOB is the only movement leading the call for a Referendum
for Biafrans in Nigeria. Referendums are not conducted in secret like the
criminals are currently doing. These infiltrator criminals and their nincompoop
leaders called Criminals in Finland want to reduce Biafra’s struggle to an
entertainment show. Biafrans must ignore the ignoramus with all his antics to
make the people believe that he is doing something after IPOB leadership has
crippled his channels of scamming Biafrans.
“Referendum, according to the United Nations, is a direct
vote by electorates on a political issue such as Biafra Self-Determination. If
Biafrans are to have a referendum, IPOB leadership will announce it publicly
via Radio Biafra and in all Biafran social media handles. Even the Nigerian and
International Media Agencies will also announce such an epic event.
“The Biafra Referendum date and the criteria will be
announced, scheduled, and organized within the framework of UN laws and the
African Charter.
“Referendum is an open and transparent political process
that will involve the observation and supervision of the International
Community. It’s not an Umunna night meeting like some idiots conducting
themselves in the name of Biafra Referendum. If the idiots visit any family at
night to vote for the referendum, Biafrans should ignore them. Biafrans should
avoid giving their personal information to the criminal-led criminals’ agents
to avoid ‘had I known.’
“IPOB, led by Mazi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu, is the one calling for
the Biafra Referendum. Should there be any referendum for Biafrans, the same
IPOB will inform our people, not a criminal gang that earlier blackmailed IPOB
for our stand on political processes such as referendums. We thought the
criminal and his auto-bandits said they didn’t believe in the political process?
What happened to the warships, fighter jets, and their Liberation Army?
“There’s nothing like a BIAFRA referendum for now. If you
refuse to heed this warning and fall into the hands of the notoriously bloody
Nigerian Security Forces in the name of an illusive BIAFRA referendum, do not
say you were not warned.”
