THE
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, yesterday, honoured its members, who were
killed by security operatives in Port Harcourt, one year ago, during a rally in
support of President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
IPOB members on
solidarity march
In
a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, IPOB
also commended lovers of freedom and IPOB members, who rallied in Aba,
Port-Harcourt and environs, weekend, at the January 20, 2018 memorial march in
honour of those murdered by Nigerian security agents.
”Today,
Nigeria is still paying a high cost in loss of human lives, which
unfortunately, includes a preponderance of Biafran lives… Nigeria is still
paying in the form of renewed genocide, now championed under the twin umbrella
of a lopsided Nigerian security forces and Fulani herdsmen.
”In
an era where armed Fulani men, emboldened by the acquiescence of the Northern
ruling class and complacency of the presidency, unleash murderous mayhem on
unsuspecting civilian populations, we must spare a thought for IPOB agitators
brutally slaughtered for demanding to be accorded their constitutionally guaranteed
rights. Ironically what IPOB is agitating for- freedom for all, is the only
approach that can solve the Fulani conundrum.
Had
the wider Nigerian public not sided with the Buhari regime in their persecution
of IPOB, such blatant discriminatory and hypocritical approach to democratic
governance in Nigeria would not obtain. We steadfastly and unapologetically
maintain that the Nigerian union is unsustainable, only free self-governing
nation-states are the solution,” the statement read in part.
