Biafra: We will align with United Nations law - IPOB

 

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said that the actualization of Biafra will not be done violently.

In statement sent to NAIJ.com on Wednesday, December 7, the group’s spokesperson Powerful Emma said, no member of IPOB would engage in any form of violence for the purpose of restoring Bifara.
Emma said the group came to the decision because the United Nations law permits the rights for the self determination by any group of people feeling need to the so.
“We are aware that some individuals fear that the Biafra project will turn to be war like 1967 and 1970, it will not be so because the international law gives room for the restoration of Biafra through the stipulated lay down processes,” Emma said.

He said following the group will continue to operate within the purview of  the international agency's law.

“The United Nations and the international community have made it to be possible for other countries around the world and it must be possible for Biafra.
“In line with this, Singapore was created out of Malaysia, Pakistan was created out of India, Bangladesh was created out of Pakistan, East Timor was created out of Indonesia, Sudan was created out of Great Egypt, Eritrea was created out of Ethiopia, South Sudan was created out of Sudan, Southern Cameroon was carved out of Nigeria, Namibia was once part of South Africa, Gambia was once part of Senegambia, Ukraine was once part of USSR, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia were once together in Yugoslavia, Crimea was once part of Ukraine, Czech and Slovakia were once together as Czechoslovakia,” he said.
Emma also said it will soon be written in history that Biafra was a part of Nigeria because forcefully mandating unity is slavery.
“We can be neighbours and do inter trading and other important things in common but it is not by force to stay together as one country," Emma said.
