The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has accused the spokesperson of President Muhammadu Buhari, Garba Shehu, of begging western countries to proscribe the group.
In a statement by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, IPOB accused the federal government of declaring bandits as terrorists so as to get the pro-Biafra group outlawed globally.
While stating that the international community does not need to be told who to declare as terrorists, IPOB warned Garba Shehu to stop his campaign of calumny against the group.
Powerful added that the presidential spokesperson is displaying his annoying ignorance and by calling the international community to tag IPOB as a terror group.
“We understand that Garba Shehu has been going around the world lobbying and begging them to declare IPOB terrorist group. But unfortunately for him, the world does not need to be told who terrorists are because they already know them,” the IPOB statement read.
“Garba Shehu has been messing himself and APC administration around the world thinking that the Western world doesn’t know what IPOB stands for since the formation of this great movement. The world knows that IPOB is for the freedom of Biafra. Fulani terror groups have razed many communities in Nigeria today without your government challenging them. Fulani has been the mastermind of every terrorist group terrorizing Nigeria today.
IPOB operates in over 100 different counties and they know what IPOB stands for. None of those countries has ever been declared terrorists. Garba Shehu’s cry cannot change their conviction about IPOB. This crocodile cry is showing the world how complicit Garba Shehu and his government are towards the plights of the citizens in this hell called Nigeria.
Garba Shehu and his co-travelers declared bandits terror groups to deceive the Western world so they can declare IPOB terrorist organization. Unfortunately, the Western world knows them and how they were sponsoring Fulani terrorists to destroy many villages and communities and rename them Fulani name communities.
Garba Shehu should instead of moving up and down to lobby for the declaration of IPOB as a terror group, call Western powers to help organize a referendum for indigenous peoples in Nigeria to decide where they want to be – whether in Nigeria or stand on their own. He should stop making jest of himself and Fulani people and his brother Buhari government because the Western world knows them than they know themselves, the truth must set Biafra free because the civilized countries know the cause of numerous deaths in Nigeria.”
