The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has expressed their sympathy to the families of the victims of flood and boat mishap in Anambra State. 
A statement by the spokesperson of the group, Emma Powerful has also urged the federal government to provide relief materials to those affected by the incident.
However, the group has also boasted that such incident would be curtailed when Biafra nation is actualised.
He said “We sympathize with many affected families who lost their loved ones, houses, and properties including those who were forced to relocate from their homes due to the flood. May the almighty give you strength and courage to forge ahead.
“We wonder why the Federal Government and her Angencies like Disaster Management Agency has not done anything in helping the victims. If this were to be in the North, all the Angencies would have used National Treasury to support them.
“We are calling on Anambra State Government, Nigeria Government, and International Ecological Intervention Bodies to intervene and rescue our people in Ogbaru LGA, Anambra West, and East LGAs of Anambra State by finding a permanent solution to this yearly flooding menace.
“Ogbaru LGA and other Communities at the banks of River Niger must know that whenever Biafra comes they will never expirence this kind of calamity, because Biafra Engineers will ensure that there is sensible urban planning and enough Sea defense to stop any sort of flood from River Niger to overflow to the sorrunding Communities.
“We understand that the Government of Nigeria is not concerned about any Ecological interventions nor environmental protection in Biafra Land. These and many more are the injustices that Biafra Nation will address when the time comes”. Powerful stated.
