If the promoters of a Biafran nation thought that the Igala People are part of them, then they must be joking......CONTINUE READING THE ARTICLE FROM THE SOURCE>>>>>
This point has been made clear by the Igala Youth Council.
It said the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) should desist from referring or referencing them as being part of the proposed United States of Biafra
They issued the disclaimer in a statement issued today, to journalists in Lokoja, Kogi State.
“This strong stance was taken during an emergency meeting held on December 1, 2024, in response to a viral video outlining IPOB’s plan for a 40-state Biafran nation,” the statement noted.
“The Igala nation demands good governance for all its people within the Nigerian nation, rather than being dragged into IPOB’s madness.
“It’s worth noting that IPOB’s actions have been a subject of controversy, with some viewing their agitation as a legitimate cry for self-determination, while others see it as a threat to national unity.
“The group’s methods, including the imposition of a weekly ‘sit-at-home’ order, have been criticised for their disruptive impact on the economy and daily life in the Southeast region.”
The statement which was signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Michael Joshua, also called on Igala across the globe to ignore IPOB group and go about their lawful business in Nigeria.
