Leave us alone, we are bigger than your political strategies – IPOB tells FG

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has warned the Federal Government to desist from linking it to attacks being carried out in the Southeastern part of the country.

The group expressed that it abhors anything in Nigeria and so cannot be associated with it

This was made known in a statement by the Group’s spokesman, Emma Powerful. He noted that anything short of a United Nations, UN, supervised referendum to determine their secession, the group would not be interested in any national affair.

“Nigeria Government should leave IPOB/ESN alone. We are bigger than their political strategies. They can link or lure other groups into Nigeria Politics but not IPOB because we remain focused on our mission and can’t be attracted to what we abhor.

“We abhor anything in Nigeria and can’t be attracted to what we have rejected.

“The only political process that IPOB will participate in is a UN supervised Biafra Referendum that will usher in Biafra Sovereignty and Independence.

“Anyone intending to link ESN Operative, Volunteers, including IPOB members in their planned political attacks is deluded and regret will always be their portion,” the group said.
