The leadership of the new pro Biafra group, the Reformed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has named a new leader for the organization.
In a statement signed by its National Director of Publicity, Ikemba Biafra, RE-IPOB described the new leader, Jonathan Kurubo, from Bayelsa state as a true son of Biafra who believes in the cause and dignity of the marginalized people of the old Eastern region.
It said Kurubo, who is a graduate of international Universities with versatile knowledge of International relations, peace and conflict resolution as well as strategic studies, will pilot the affairs of the RE-IPOB until Biafra is actualized or the Nigerian government demonstrates its sincerity to fully re-integrate the people of Biafra through negotiations.
RE-IPOB also unveiled a list of eminent personalities and elders of Biafra who are expected to lead its negotiation with the Nigerian government.
The list include; Dr Arthur Nwankwo, Dr kenneth Opigo, Dr. Okey Emordi, Barr. Uche Okwukwu, Obong Victor Attah, Prof Nwankwo Nwaezeigwe, Chief Bassey Akpan, Prof Mrs Uche Azikiwe, Prof Wole Soyinka, Uchenna Madu, Prof Jerry Gana, Chief Ikedi Ohakim, representative of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council, representative of Umuada Igbo, and Bishop Emmanuel Chukwuma, who is expected to lead the delegation.
The statement added that: “We warn that RE-IPOB is not negotiating out of fear. Our position is not out of cowardice, we want peace. Butthe federal government should return our goodwill and readiness for talks with honesty and sincerity.”
“Nnamdi Kanu should henceforth desist from issuing any statement on behalf of Biafra in his own interest,” the statement read.
The group urged security agents to stop molesting or killing members of RE-IPOB as its security arm, Ogbunigwe, had been set up to protect Biafra people.

DeleteNonsense:

Are you not tired? The same Soyinka your media propaganda fabricated to speak for NDA and was refuted within 24hrs. All these useless propaganda is giving you multiple orgasm? Mercy for your self!

attackgat:
The leader of the new organisation is "Ikemba Biafra"? These people must have gone to Ali Baba to learn comedy.

If you like, invite Ekwensu to speak for you, na u sabi

You guys can't be named in the same sentence with focus or seriousness

Soyinka spoke up for Biafra in 1967 and was jailed. He was was lead negotiator for ND militants in 2009 that birthed amnesty. He has been known for speaking up for oppressed folks like you.

Don't panic. Your Redeemer is on the way

[s]Rather you and your gov should recognize self-determination, it's a right and not a privilege. As for the news? Your gov will be tired sooner than later. God's media armies are at alert so go create more groups with your keyboard[/s].

DeleteNonsense:

Yes! Nobody will ignore the love Soyinka have for Biafra. "Soyinka's love for Biafra nation was based on his beliefs that only Biafra freedom will emancipate Africa from Berlin Conference resolutions." Go visit his interviews on Aljazera. I'm only laughing at your gov efforts to try to mislead people on IPOB tsunami that is hitting East coast. For your info there's sane people in West but Amala wouldn't allow them speak up.

the akpu brained outcast has started going off tangent again

Awo as far back as 1947 called this contraption "a mere geographical expression" and the average Yoruba man has never stopped believing this. That's why the Yoruba never partnered with any govt to take power at the centre since independence until 2015! we believe our salvation lies in regionalism at least and that's my Creed

Soyinka is a dyed in the wool Yoruba advocate like Solarin, Like Gani Fawehinmi, like Ajasin, Like Falana, like Maiyegun etc. We speak up for the oppressed and support all rights for self determination. I will celebrate the day you get your utopian country

At least my ears will rest from the constant wailing

DeleteNonsense:

Belief on yourself and stop being a torn in freedoms flesh. Thanks.
