$25m bribe: IPOB alleges plot to undermine S'East during elections


The Indigenous People of Biafra ( IPOB) has alleged plots by disgruntled elements to instigate violence in the South-East during the 2023 general elections .

This is coming some days after an allegation that a top presidential candidate in the 2023 poll had bribed a breakaway pro-Biafra group led by a Finland-based Igbo lawyer with the some of 25 million dollars to cause mayhem during the poll in the South-East to instil fears in voters so as to undermine the support base of another presidential contender in the election.


In a statement on Saturday through its media and publicity secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB said,"We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led and commanded by Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is very much aware that the Nigeria Government is both directly and indirectly sponsoring election violence in Biafra land with the intention to blackmail the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Internationally as anti democratic process.


"The IPOB leadership has for umpteenth time stated unequivocally that part of our modus operandi in our agitation for freedom has never been, is not and will not be violent agitation. This explains our consistent demand for the UN to organise a referendum in the Biafran territory for the Biafran people to determine their destiny.

"To this effect, IPOB is neither contemplating nor will it encouraged or sponsor anyone or group to disrupt the Zoo Nigeria shambolic selection process called election. IPOB has constantly made it public that we have no interest in and cannot legitimise the aberation they call election in Nigeria. We are a focused, determined and disciplined freedom fighting movement not polititcal thugs and IPOB is devoted to the cause of liberating our people for subjugation and from modern day slavery and Neo-colonialism and will not allow ourselves to be distracted from this very objective.


"The world must hold to account the Nigeria Government and the criminals it is covertly recruiting and positioning in the South East to create an environment of violence and after causing the violence, will use the Zoo shameless and fantastically compromised ans corrupt Media to blame IPOB for the election violence that they themselves instigated and executed during campaigns and their shambolic elections.

"IPOB is not part of Zoological Republic sham election and will never be part of them. IPOB is solely focusd on Biafra Independence struggle which Nigeria Government and her Allies are working very hard to try and derail with their daily propaganda and blackmail against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB members worldwide. They will always fail because the restoration Biafra as Free Sovereign and Independent Nation is Divinely ordained and its time is now."


In the Saturday's statement, IPOB made the following demands:
1. Release the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu unconditionally.

2. Fix a Referendum date for Biafrans to decide their fate either for FREEDOM in a Sovereign Biafran Nation or for Permanent subjugation and oppression in the Fulani controlled Islamic republic of Nigeria.
