The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has reiterated their commitment to their agitations for the Republic of Biafra.
This was disclosed in a statement by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, on Wednesday.
Reacting to the recent allegation by Sheikh Gumi that their agitation had slowed since the emergence of Peter Obi as the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, the group reiterated its stance and commitment for the secession of the eastern part of the country.
He said “IPOB does not engage with any shambolic selection process they call ‘Nigeria election’ and we are not interested in their fraudulent ways of selecting the president of Nigeria because we do not believe in Nigeria anymore.

“We have said it before now that IPOB does not know Peter Obi and Peter Obi does not know IPOB. If Peter Obi knows IPOB, its aims and objectives, he wouldn’t have come out in the first place to contest to waste his wealth and vast knowledge, talent and wisdom endowed with experience which God Almighty gave and blessed Biafrans with, in the Zoological Republic.
“Therefore, for Peter Obi to have come out to contest for Nigeria president is an indication that he is not on the same page with IPOB and people should not equate him with IPOB agenda, they can say any other thing about him, not Biafra agitation.
“We can never slow down agitation until Biafra comes. Any Biafran who comes out and joins the election process under Nigeria has publicly proven that he or she is not in the same ideology with IPOB.”
