IPOB:Igbo groups pray at Ojukwu’s home, insist on Biafra

 

FROM BIAFRA NATION: No fewer than 16 pro-Biafran groups, on Saturday, converged on the home of the late Igbo leader, Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, in Nnewi, Anambra State.

It was gathered that the agitators had a prayer session and insisted that there was no going back on their demand for Biafra.

This was contained in a statement by the leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, Uchenna Madu.

Other groups in attendance included the Eastern Peoples Congress, Biafra United Liberation Council, Joint Revolutionary Council of Biafra, Igbo Hebrew Cultural Restoration, and Biafra Actualisation and Defence Squad.

Others are Biafra Revolutionary Organisation, Biafra Liberation Crusade, Salvation Peoples of Biafra, Ekwenche Organisation, Biafra Peace Corps, Billie Human Rights Initiatives as well as Igbozurume Organisation.

The statement partly read, “All pro-Biafran groups agreed to work together as one for the purpose of Biafra actualisation and restoration. The groups also agreed on the unity of purpose for Biafra and that all pro-Biafran groups should maintain their individual status, name and internal running of their affairs.

“The groups rejected the proposals for states as federating units of Nigeria as part of restructuring; it is totally against the wish and desire of the people of Biafra.

“While we are reaffirming our total commitment to Biafra actualisation, we wish to state that the only kind of restructuring that will be acceptable to us is to recognise the six geopolitical regions as federating units, using the 1963 constitution as a template.”
