Indigenous People of Biafra has reacted to the facilitators and purveyors of the “IgboMustGo” campaign in the South-Western part of the country, saying it was ready to move out of Nigeria.
The group, specifically asked President Bola Tinubu to call for a referendum for the Igbo to exit.
A statement by IPOB Director of Media and Publicity, Emma Powerful, said it was laughable that the authorities in the South-West were treating the “IgboMustGo” campaign and its proponents with a wave of the hand, adding that the Igbo people were already ‘on the ground and feared no fall’.
The statement read, “Following the provocative and genocidal “IgboMustGo” proposed protest slated to commence from August 20-30th 2024, by some faceless Yoruba groups and persons, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wish to remind the Yoruba anti-Igbo groups that Ndigbo are ready to exit Yoruba land and Nigeria via a referendum. Ndigbo will not succumb to any threat from any group or persons to leave any state or region in Nigeria.
“It is laughable that the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, was reported to have hypnotically condemned the proponents of the “Igbo Must Go” protest.
