FROM DAVID ONWUCHEKWA, NNEWI

THE crisis in the Indig­enous People of Biafra (IPOB) degenerated yes­terday, as, its Government/ Media Representative, Chinedu Asuzu berated two of the organisation’s chief­tains- Mr Clifford Iroanya and Emma Mmezu, accus­ing them of having lost the organisation’s traditional values and as such should be disregarded.

Chinedu was reacting to a statement credited to the duo resident in the United States of America and the United Kingdom respec­tively. The two had report­edly accused the Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Council of Elders of Indig­enous People of Biafra, Dr Dozie Ikedife, as a ‘stooge’ of the ruling APC govern­ment under President Mu­hammadu Buhari.

But, the group’s spokes­man said the statement was unfortunate and lacked logic. His words: “Ours is a respected and responsible group. Dr Ikedife is among the courageous elders in Igboland that was instru­mental to the Biafra legal suit against Nigerian Gov­ernment .This is verifiable with Suit

No FHC/OW/ CS/192/2013.It is also on record that Clifford Iroanya and his cohorts wrote Nige­rian Government to discon­tinue this celebrated court case as they believe in vio­lence to achieve Biafra. But that is not possible.

On the issue of Nnamdi Kanu-led IPOB being a global giant, Chinedu ex­plained that the IPOB is not a group, but a people scattered all over the world demanding a separate exis­tence from Nigeria. He told the press that the Nigerian Government knew the real people behind the Biafran struggle were men of prov­en integrity.

In the same vein, the Chief Editor of Biafra Voice International, UK, Com­rade Nnabuike Nnadede, said that the Biafran agita­tors were lucky to have a leader such as Dr Ikedife, Ikenga Nnewi. The media chief advised all Biafrans to come under the author­ity of the Supreme Coun­cil of Elders of Indigenous People of Biafra, to be taken serious by the international community, “rather than join noise makers and peo­ple who are frustrated, de­jected and jobless, seeking relevance…”

Meanwhile, an octoge­narian and pro-Biafra ac­tivist, Sir R.O.Okereke, has made a fresh call for an­other dimension to actual­ize the self-determination dream of the more than 15 states in Nigeria to be known as the United States of Biafra.

Okereke, who spoke in Ozubulu, Ekwusigo Lo­cal Government Area of Anambra State, said that the general elections of 2015 in which the All Pro­gressives Congress (APC) won in 20 and a half states and the Peoples Demo­cratic Party (PDP), 15 and a half clearly indicated that those in the PDP states should come together by way of diplomacy and present to the United Na­tions, European Union and African Union their choice of government and interim officers for early approval and take off period.

    The most important issue here is that Biafra is a matter to on discussion and discussion of BIAFRA MUST continue. As regards to IPOB leadership, the people knows who is the leader is, Nnewi man is an old cow, he can only lead Billie animal right initiative to APC actualization but Nnamdi Kanu the leader of IPOB ARMIES ALL OVER THE WORLD will lead us to BIAFRA LAND WITH THE FLAG.

    Susan, You can not force people to be together in any particular union, even in marriage. You sound as if you hold the destinies of peoples in your hands. What an erroneous mind quibble. Colonialists imagined they would colonize people forever but when the time came they did not only run, they abandoned their bounties as well. this type of audacious arrogance and flagrant statement have always been what has always been the cause of the main problem in Nigeria. SUSAN NIGERIA MUST NEVER BE ONE AGAIN. WATCH OUT!
