The indigenous people of Biafra, IPOB Sunday called on Biafans all over the world, friends of Biafra, lovers of freedom and all freedom fighters across the world to come out on Monday to witness the peaceful remembrance march of the Biafra fallen heroes and heroines who died during the Biafra/ Nigeria civil war of 1967 to 1970 and those who died during our peaceful protest and evangelism in Onitsha Anambra state, praying ground in Aba Abia state, Igweocha, Rivers state and Delta state.
“IPOB in a statement signed by its Media and Publicity Officer Mr. Emma Powerful, said the peaceful remembrance march by all lovers of Biafra will equally be used to honour and remind and reassure its leader and Director of Radio Biafra Mr Nnandi Kanu, who is currently being incarcerated by the Federal Government of Nigeria that he has not been forgotten by members.
“IPOB family meetings worldwide invites all electronic and print media companies and international media houses to come and witness our 30th of May 2016 Remembrance day an event initiated by our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and religiously observed since 2014 at the multi-million cenotaph that was destroyed by misguided criminal elements claiming to be working for actualization of Biafra when in actual sense he was working against Biafra, before he was removed by his former followers.
“We are also calling on all the clans in Biafra, be you Izon (ljaw), Isoko, Ishekiri, Efik, Ibibio, Idoma, Isobo, Igede, Igala, Igboakiri (Igbanke), Igbos and others to come out and be part of the peaceful events marking this occasion. People will gather at IPOB organized events all over the world to show their respect, but all those in Biafra land should attend the gathering in Anambra state” he said.
Mr Powerful however, warned infiltrator who may want to use the peaceful march to involve in break down of law and order that IPOB will deal decisively with them, as all Nnamdi Kanu led IPOB members have never and will never be involved in any crime or any form of violence.
“We are therefore, calling on the Governor of Anambra State and Chief Security Officer of the state, Chief Willie Obiano, Commissioner of Police, Army Commander and Navy Commander to call their men and security agents who were parading around the state to order, because we are a non-violent organization that is bent on the restoration of Biafra and nobody born of a woman can stop us, because this is the project of Chukwuokike Abiama (God Almighty)” he said.
