The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) declared yesterday that despite spirited antics of its adversaries, the struggle has gathered the desired awareness, momentum, sympathy and outright support.
The group, however, said as the Federal Government panics, “time is running out and clearly have no choice than to let my people go.’
A statement by spokespersons of IPOB, Dr. Clifford Iroanya and Mr. Emma Mmezu commended and congratulated millions of IPOBians the world over, whose tenacity and exemplary steadfastness to the cause is and would always remain a great source of joy and inspiration.
They said: “It is noteworthy and very commendable, that, despite the spirited antics of our adversaries, the struggle has gathered the desired, awareness, momentum, sympathy and outright support; way beyond our expectations.
“Your total commitment to the struggle and your determination and focus as a well disciplined mass movement has gotten the attention of the world and frightened the enemy stiff.
“As our journey to the promised land progresses beautifully, it is important to always remind ourselves that our progeny will forever remain grateful to us for our many sacrifices today.
“We are almost there. I remain very proud of you all,” the statement said.
“Clearly, the power of truth over falsehood remains eternal. We thank millions of our members from Kogi to Cross River, from Benue to Delta and from Kwara to Bayelsa. As truth resonates loud and clear for the deaf to hear and the blind to see, the oppressor runs around in confusion and in total disarray.
“First, they falsely accused us of killing and burying five Hausa/Fulani herdsmen, nobody believed them.
“Next they hired one unknown person, Samson Babalola and his non-existent conference of minorities. Again, the world clearly saw through their foolish antics.
“Next, they trumped up one non-entity called Stephen Onwu, again; with a non-existent group. The world mocked them. In desperation they fell back to hire one 86 year-old ex-Ohanaeze president-general who was paid to claim he is the leader of IPOB, the world burst out in laughter.
“As they continue to embarrass themselves in their confusion and desperation to stop our march to freedom, we congratulate IPOBians the world over as victory is near,” the spokespersons noted.
