We the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu commend and thank the apex Yoruba socio-cultural group Afenifere, Yoruba Elders Council and other outspoken leaders from the West, for their firm and decisive stance against the overwhelming tide of tyrannical oppression and genocide against the people of Biafra. You rose up to condemn evil and their supporting well oiled propaganda machinery that sought to turn truth upside down and make us believe that light is now darkness and darkness light. Your collective and individual condemnation of the evil Python Dance II, staged by the Buhari regime to suppress legitimate agitation for freedom through intimidation, slaughter of the innocent and military occupation has earned you an enduring legacy which history will never forget.
This rare courage and forthrightness in coming forth to speak up in defence of freedom of speech/expression/association and recognition that IPOB is not a terrorist organisation contributed in convincing the rest of humanity that agitation for freedom within Nigeria, including right to self determination, is not a crime.
We also commend those men and women of good conscience from across all ethnic divides in Nigeria and across the globe that condemned the genocidal campaign of this Buhari regime against innocent civilian populations across Biafraland. With this public display of courage, ย we are hopeful that many more courageous men and women across West Africa and Africa in general will rise up against this APC tyranny and oppression in black Africa as other races have managed to do.
With this, IPOB worldwide will remain steadfast and committed to the pursuit of the finest ideals of liberation to set free all oppressed and marginalised people in Nigeria and beyond. If IPOB worldwide is a terrorist organisation, that means the College of Cardinals in Rome and the Council of Bishops in Nigeria are ISIS. We must all stand firm now to confront and challenge this oppressive dictatorial regime of Muhammad Buhari because ultimately power belongs to the people not to the bigoted few.
