- IPOB Advces Soludo: Remain focused on your vision and mission and shun distractions and bad advice from evil politicians
The Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) on Sunday morning assured the new Governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Soludo, of the “full cooperation” of the group and “Biafran youths in his efforts to secure Anambra State.”
IPOB said in a statement by its Spokesperson, Emma Powerful, that they would “give him (Governor Soludo) every support he needs to make Anambra the envy of the black race.”
Stating that IPOB members are human beings with an unwavering interest of Biafrans at heart, Powerful said in the statement that in the pursuit of “the happiness, wellbeing and security” of the people, South East and South South Governors should know that they are “ready and open to cooperate with any of them seeking our support for the common good of our people.”
Part of the statement reads: “We also state that any governor that makes himself a willing fulani too to either criminalise our just agitation for freedom will without a doubt be paid in the same coin.Our attention has been drawn to an encouraging statement by the new Governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Soludo during his inuaguration. We commend him for reasoning the way he did, but at the same time we admonish him to be weary of wicked, selfish and evil politicians who never mean well for our people so as not to deceive him. We hope he will keep to his promises and serve our people selflessly and wholeheartedly which in turn will help to promote the peace and security of our ancestral land. Anambra being (Diokpara) the first Son must show leadership in the much awaited renaissance.
“We, therefore, assure him of the full cooperation of Biafran youths in his efforts to secure Anambra State. IPOB will give him every support he needs to make Anambra the envy of the black race. IPOB will fully support any Governor in Biafra land who shows he has the understanding of the times, and the precarious condition of our people in Nigeria. If any Governor does not conspire with our oppressors to perpetuate our woes, he/she will enjoy the full support of our people.
“Anambra State Governor, Professor Charles C. Soludo, in other to succeed, must not take seriously those or anyone whether part of his government or not that will advice him to arrest, imprison, and kill IPOB family members in Anambra State because if he listen to those criminal political harlots, that will be the beginning of his failure as a governor.
“We therefore, advise Soludo to remain focused on his vision and mission and shun distractions and bad advice from evil politicians. He should not repeat the mistakes of his predecessor Willie Obiano, who allowed himself to be used by Fulani people to persecute our people. They killed our people at Nkpor in 2016 during our annual remembrance of our fallen heroes and heroines who paid the ultimate price for our freedom between 1967 and 1970, yet the Governor never asked questions.
“IPOB is a peaceful movement working hard to restore Biafra independence. We will never give up on our agitation until we are given a date for referendum to decide our fate as a people.
“We are ready to work with anyone in Government who works for the interest and liberty of our people. Professor Charles Soludo is a seasoned technocrat, and an accomplished Igbo who should use his wealth of knowledge to develop our land. We are willing to support him as long as he will not turn to be a willing instrument in the hands of our oppressors to persecute our people especially BIAFRA agitators. We wish him success in office.”
