Press Statement
NEW YEAR MESSAGE TO BIAFRANS: 2017 IS A PIVOTAL YEAR TOWARDS
BIAFRA NATIONHOOD
On behalf of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra (IPOB), we welcome all Biafrans to the year 2017. The past year (2016) had been a challenging
one, but we proved that indeed we are Biafrans and are capable of rising to the
occasion. In 2016, we experienced the re-enactment of genocide on Biafrans by
Muhammadu Buhari who is a killer by profession and by hobby. Perhaps, Buhari
continued from where he stopped in 1968 when he participated in the mass-murder
of over two million Biafrans at Owerri.
Muhammadu Buhari miscalculated by kidnapping and illegally
detaining the IPOB leader and other Biafrans. In his warped Almajiri
calculations, detaining Nnamdi Kanu will kill-off the quest for the restoration
of Biafra. His permutation is that Biafrans are mainly traders who will not
leave their shops for too long, which will make them abandon both their leader
and the restoration process in its entirety. How terribly wrong Buhari was!!!
On the contrary, we can boldly assert that the kidnapping
and illegal detention of Nnamdi Kanu have thoroughly embarrassed Buhari and his
agents. Even the court process has further put a dent on the Nigerian Judiciary
in addition to destroying the careers of John Tsoho and Mrs. Binta Nyako. From
global perspective, the restoration of the nation of Biafra has now been
catapulted to an all-time high with respected Human Rights Organizations such
as Amnesty International exposing the soft underbelly of Buhari, which is the
recourse to extra-judicial killing and the use of brute force to engage
peaceful and unarmed Biafrans exercising their irreducible rights to
self-determination.
Also, Members of European Parliaments (MEP’s) have added
their voices to the global outrage on Buhari and his murderous gangs who relish
in the spilling of the blood of Biafrans. And back home, we will never forget
the doggedness of INTERSOCIETY, which is the only Human Rights Organization in
Nigeria that speaks for the oppressed non-violent organizations such as IPOB
and the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN).
In all these, we give credit to Biafrans all over the globe
who have remained steadfast, peaceful, law-abiding and non-violent in their
quest to restore their God-given nation of Biafra. We appreciate, even more,
Biafrans at home who have been subjected to extra-judicial killings, summary
executions, illegal detention, torture and all manners of inhuman and degrading
treatments by agents of Muhammadu Buhari with the direct involvement of
Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State. Most appreciations go to those who
paid the ultimate price and the families they left behind.
We know that Muhammadu Buhari’s strategy is to provoke us
into armed conflict so that IPOB will be portrayed to the whole world as a
violent organization, while at the same time, Buhari will complete the genocide
he started on July 29, 1966, when he and his Northern colleagues in the
Nigerian Army assassinated Major General J. T. U. Aguiyi-Ironsi at Government
House in Ibadan. As at today, we have defeated Muhammadu Buhari in all aspects
of intellectual discourse on the need to separate Biafra from the
British-created contraption called Nigeria. Hence, his recourse to force and
coercion to put fear in Biafrans. But Buhari has failed and will continue to
fail because this year, 2017, will signal the end of the colonization of Biafra
by British-backed Nigeria.
Therefore, we urge all Biafrans to rise to the challenge and
support IPOB, under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu, in every way possible so
that we can take our nation back and build a democratic country where everyone
will be equal before the law and obedience to the rule of law is sacrosanct. We
have the confidence that Biafrans are capable of working together to restore
their nation that was robbed them by Britain and Nigeria. This year is pivotal
to the restoration of the nation of Biafra and just as Robert Baden-Powell of
Boy Scouts motto puts it, let us “Be Prepared.“
Biafra restoration is unstoppable, unquenchable,
irresistible, and irreversible. The year, 2017, is the game-changer year.
Signed
